July 22, 20205 yr As long as they let Madrigal on the opening day roster this is fine. Leury is probably as good as Mazara anyway.

July 22, 20205 yr How long will Mazara and Madrigal need to sit out for the IL (retroactive?)and for service time?
July 22, 20205 yr With Robert in CF and Engel in RF, can they just tell Eloy "you have a 6 foot range you need to cover and we'll take care of the rest"? Gotta social distance as much as possible you know.
July 22, 20205 yr I was worried about our OF depth all offseason and this basically justifies those fears.
July 22, 20205 yr Just now, Chicago White Sox said: I was worried about our OF depth all offseason and this basically justifies those fears. Cameron Maybin, Brock Holt, any of those guys who signed for peanuts would look great on our roster right now
July 22, 20205 yr I don't see why they can't use Engel and Leury platoon in right and use Mendick and Leury platoon at 2B.

July 22, 20205 yr Is Engle a superior defensive CF to Robert? If Mazara is out for a while, why not let Engle start in CF and give Robert the easier defensive assignment to ease into the MLB

If Mazara is out for a while, why not let Engle start in CF and give Robert the easier defensive assignment to ease into the MLB Probably not, once you factor in their arms. When it comes to speed/range/highlight catches, I'd imagine they're pretty similar.

July 22, 20205 yr 35 minutes ago, Chicago White Sox said: I was worried about our OF depth all offseason and this basically justifies those fears. Especially with Twins and Indians right off the bat. Engel is going to see some very tough righties.

Yeah, with the way the offense is looking, I think I like hiding Engel's bat in the line up, especially if Leury is going to start the season at 2B while Nick "works on some things" for a couple of weeks.
July 22, 20205 yr 1 hour ago, BigHurt3515 said: How much better is Holt/Maybin than Engel/Garcia? Engel makes peanut shells. Leury and Holt each makes $3.25. I think Leury is a little better in that I don't think Holt ever plays CF.
July 22, 20205 yr Engel batting 8th or 9th in the order is much less of a problem this year with the offensive additions we have made elsewhere in the lineup.
