August 21, 20196 yr Author Ouch, brain fart. I wanted to release the beast that is the mighty Yermin! Yeah this was rather obvious.
August 22, 20196 yr I was hoping they send Engel down soon. It is painful to watch him flail at pitches and strike out , often in key situations or with men on base. Bring up Luis Robert and Madrigal now. Maybe the league changes the service time rules over the next 6 years making the little game they are playing to extend control moot.

I'd assume anyone already in the majors would be grandfathered in under old rules.

I love his play in right, seems like a good guy, but he and Engel are both 27 years old. Not impossible, but unlikely either is going to blossom now, unless they go to the Yankees or Dodgers, then they’ll be all stars.
August 22, 20196 yr I’ve lost most hope in Cordell, but I think it’s absolutely ridiculous we don’t just release Jay and give the younger a look.

For the fan who has stayed loyal to gritting his or her teeth through the rebuild, yes! Give the “younger” a look every chance you can! Edited August 22, 20196 yr by Thad Bosley
August 22, 20196 yr At this point I’d much rather give younger guys PT than Jay (who’s been terrible for awhile), Castillo, Detwiler and Santiago. Were a little thinner on pitching, but give Kubat a few starts. Try Bernardo Flores. Bring bang Ruiz and Vieria. May as well use these next few weeks to give some guys some looks.

August 22, 20196 yr I feel like Cordell as a total package is better than Engel. That being said, he doesn't do anything as well as Engel plays CF so they value that.
August 22, 20196 yr Cordell, Engel, whomever....they are all better than and should be on this team before the Rickys' cleanup hitter, Jon Jay.

It's so nice having one of the best position players in the sport on our roster. Other than a few one year flashes ('16 Eaton, '14 Abreu, '12 Rios, etc.), I can't remember the last time you could say that about one of our guys. Ordonez/Thomas?

When they were with the Sox Maggs and Frank were absolutely among the best at their position. Edited August 22, 20196 yr by Jack Parkman

It definitely goes back to players on the 05 team. I'm sure Konerko and Pierzynski were one of the best players in the sport during their primes with us
