July 8, 20214 yr Great news! Hopefully they make him wear a bicycle helmet, life jacket, and fireproof uniform when he's in left field.

I like sheets, but with Cespedes and Colas in the pipeline, he isn't the long term answer and he will get exposed come playoff time. A playoff Lineup of LF Vaughn with Engel 7th inning on, CF of Robert and RF of Acquisition with Engel getting some play here is just big boy pants. Goodwin and Hamilton are nice stories...but them vs every ace in October is not going to end well. Fully agree. I do like Sheets but selling high on him now would likely be the prudent thing to do. I still think a Gallo or Marte for RF is a must.

We don't need him blowing a hamstring or tearing his tit again going after a baseball. Let him hit the shit out of baseballs and drive in runs...and smile for the camera.

Gallo is the play for sure. Will give left handed power. Is a hell of a fielder. Can round robin with Eloy and Vaughn for DH in the playoffs and if Cespedes or Colas are ready in 2023 you thank him for the ring and move on.
July 8, 20214 yr 21 minutes ago, Chicago White Sox said: A little too early to bank on Sheets being the answer IMO. Twins threw him a lot of pitches outside and he really didn't have much to hit all series. And when he did there was a lot of weak contact. It appears that teams are already adjusting and staying away from him.

Not sure if I agree that getting a Gallo or Marte is a must(I'd obviously love to have either) but I completely agree with what you said about Sheets. If you can sell high on Sheets right now or in a few weeks, go do it.
July 8, 20214 yr 10 minutes ago, chitownsportsfan said: Shields is likely about -10 runs in RF, he looks like Palka out there. There is still imo a need for a OF although Goodwin is doing his best to fill in the hole. Why won't James Shields let us live in peace???
July 8, 20214 yr 5 minutes ago, Chicago White Sox said: Who is in LF then if Eloy primarily DHs? One of the rest of the crew of OFs, whoever survives the roster shuffle once Eloy and Luis are back.

He’d be an ideal acquisition, but god only knows the price unfortunately.

Engel, Hamilton and Goodwin aren’t everyday starters though. More like coming off the bench in the playoffs so that leaves a hole in one of the OF positions. Edited July 8, 20214 yr by maloney.adam

July 8, 20214 yr 2 minutes ago, Chicago White Sox said: He’d be an ideal acquisition, but god only knows the price unfortunately. He's said that he wants to stay in Texas. With how well he's been hitting his price probably just doubled in the past month or so. The best time to get him was probably a few weeks after Robert went down. But I don't think teams like to make big trades that early in the season.

More like coming off the bench in the playoffs so that leaves a hole in one of the OF positions. We are going to have some combination of Engel, Hamilton, Goodwin, and Leury to use. Maybe they trade for someone, but they do have guys they can mix and match with.
July 8, 20214 yr If Eloy, Robert, and Grandal all come back, Engel/Goodwin/? plays RF and hits 8th. I think they can mix and match well enough to get production from the 8 hole.
July 8, 20214 yr Playoffs looking at Vaughn, Robert, Engel or perhaps Goodwin/Sheets/Lamb from left to right, with Hamilton the 5th OF and Eloy the primary DH. Not expecting more beyond the Ross discount rack RP or C over the next three weeks, similar to in the words of Steve Stone last August, ownership's major commitment to winning in troubling difficult times, i.e. Jarrod Dyson (he wasn't being sarcastic).

I’m cool rolling without adding an OFer. A reliever would be great. Gonna need tons of arms to get through the second half
