It actually seems plausible with this new timetable! If he is back by then, he better be playing DH for that game (and hopefully most from there on out.)

He still has a long way to go as you noted. He needs at least 60 days to ramp up and build strength and ROM. I stilll think early Sep is the plan. Get him 20 games at the MLB level, 10 or so in AAA and hopefully he's in some sort of a good spot for the playoffs. "10 or so in AAA." Don't agree with the length of that rehab assignment. I'd say a week. At the most. 5 at bats a game will give him 35 at bats against live pitching to get his timing back. That's fine. If he's already resuming baseball activities, he's already in the cage. Don't agree that he needs to face minor league pitching for 2 weeks.

Don't agree that he needs to face minor league pitching for 2 weeks. He hasn't seen a live pitch in almost 3 months. If he does "baseball activity" for a month before rehab, it will mean he will have been away from baseball for almost 4 months. He needs more than a week to get back into the swing of things. There is a big difference between hitting in the cage against low minor leaguers or soft toss, versus actually seeing some game speed.

Dick Allen Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 Rehab assignments can only last 20 days, so if all goes well, Eloy will be hitting bombs and saying hi to hi mom the first or second week of August. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"He needs more than a week to get back into the swing of things." Disagree. I've heard many hitters say that the length of spring training is too long and they only really need about a week to get their timing back and they've been away from "baseball activity" for about 5 months with the off season. Not trying to downplay the importance of it. But two weeks? No sir. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Engel was was out just 2 months got more time than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Engel kept having set backs, which can happen with hamstring injuries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, maybe I expressed myself poorly. I'm not saying that now that he's beginning baseball activities again that he should now begin his rehab assignment and be back in a week. Not saying that at all, as that would be ridiculous. I imagine that now that he's beginning baseball activities, I imagine he'll be back in about 2 months. Around the middle of August. Which since he got hurt in mid March would be how long they said he would be out back then in the first place. I'm just saying that once he is ready to begin his rehab assignment, that that phase shouldn't last 2 weeks. You are not going to change my mind that a major league hitter needs to face minor league pitching for 2 weeks to get his timing back, when as I've said for the third time now, major league hitters have been quoted as saying they don't need that long to get their timing back.

greg775 Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 I keep thinking about Eloy and have come to the conclusion he can only be a DH. He's just gonna get hurt out there. You know what this means? We must trade Yermin. Too many DH types on the team. Eloy can't move to 1B cause Jose has a few good years left. Maybe just maybe Sox could move Eloy to RF and have Jermaine Dye talk to him on how to play the position and not hurt yourself. (I realize Dye was no phenom defensively). Anyhow just the thought of Eloy back in LF concerns me. I love his bat, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
