When the Giants acquired Tauchman, Robert was still healthy and Engel hadn‘t suffered yet another setback. I wouldn’t have minded him over Hamilton, but the assumption always was that Billy was a goner anyway when Engel comes back

You have to take your chances with Hamilton first being to put up a number in the 600s because of Vaughn and Eaton being so banged up and already 2-3 strides behind 2016 peak Eaton in the first place.

Of course I’m leaving out the part where he stunk it up with reds over 20 games. I guess this is better than hoping Nick Williams finds his 2017-2018 form. At least he was half decent as recently as last season.

This is so sad. Dumpster diving the first week of May.

May 4, 20214 yr This guy literally is a body until a rebuilding team falls 10 games under and they make a trade. Only other options have so much baggage - Puig/Cespedes are so mercurial, and most teams are still within a realistic chance of a playoff spot. Williams, Gonzalez and Lamb all need to be far away from this roster, and this is the start to that. How is this a problem?

May 4, 20214 yr 12 minutes ago, Vulture said: Engel is injured and I’m pretty sure no one wants to see Vaughn in center. Agreed, OK if in Charlotte. Would gut it out with Garcia and Hamilton until Engel returns if they can't get an actual Major League player. The problem is Tony clings to his veterans, and if Goodwin has a good game or two can stick in the lineup over much better options. Jake Lamb and Leury Garcia have Tony'd their way into regular playing time, before the Robert injury. If the Sox had a decent 21st century manager, I wouldn't have concerns or even care about this signing. Edited May 4, 20214 yr by South Side Hit Men

He's been bad at the plate AND behind the plate. Being horrendous behind the plate as a catcher will result in fans getting pissed. Gallo at least gives you above average defense in the corner OF. Not enough sample size in CF yet. Edited May 4, 20214 yr by ron883
May 4, 20214 yr Goodwin is a body, but at least we got a body in 24 hours. I'm sure Hahn has already had calls in on a lot of these guys going back to the Eloy injury. So at least there's a heads up on a list. Not all LF will necessarily transfer to the CF list, but I'm sure he's already had initial discussions on a number of targets. Polanco, or someone on the Cubs would make the most sense to me.

Are we sure he’s an upgrade? Goodwin is known quantity for good or for bad. Gonzalez has a range of outcomes.
May 4, 20214 yr 20 minutes ago, BrianAnderson said: Polanco, or someone on the Cubs would make the most sense to me. Unless we've somehow found a really good player for RF, I don't see much use in acquiring a player who can't cover CF for a while. Polanco's had 5 starts at CF in his whole career.
May 4, 20214 yr MLB says Mendick was called up. Given Rodon and Mercedes' emergence and now Vaughn not everything has been bad news. LuGone is gone already. Keep trying I guess.

If all they do is sign Goodwin, I'd be mad. But what did you expect them to do in less than 24 hours after the Robert news?

Dumpster diving in May is sad. It is also sad that Luis Gonzalez is bad at baseball and that the Sox couldn't develop any outfield depth in the minors over the last 5 years.
