Sorry, I should have clarified.

The horrifying thought is to bring them up as a semi-regular player. I guess they'd give Cespedes time to season in AAA, but TLR would get cute and go with "RF by committee" and go with Leury, Gavin, Engel, and Adolfo.

There was so much pain in typing that sentence.

Oh gawd, I can totally see TLR going RF by committee too.

It's Ozzie's DH by committee, but now with defense involved!

Zavala was even worse in his limited time…

I thought I remember Zavala being a decent framer and game caller, but the number of passed balls killed him.

He does have a large home in Scottsdale.  

The Cubs second baseman is starting and leading off today on Marquee.

NO idea who is on the list as I am not a subscriber, but seeing the picture on the cover might be a hint.

TLR making fans ready to lose Micker ?

 

Is it the craziest idea to give Micker a shot?

Even if we don’t have rosters expand, assuming we don’t bring in anyone else in, the 26th spot is going to Romy or Mendick. I don’t think it’s that crazy for him to make the Opening Day roster over either of them. 

If rosters are expanded, even better then.

I know he has flaws and its tough to justify him over AV or Sheets, but they can probably get by without Romy or Mendick depending on where Leury plays every day.

Yeah just pick your spots to use him: pinch hit late in game for the 2B, platoon with Sheets, etc.

That may be why Hahn was talking about Vaughn going to AAA to start the year, to give Micker a look.

The White Sox have managed this situation so well, “A talent” will be lost for basically nothing. Lets see how many guys we can have stand around the water cooler looking for opportunities to show what they can do.

The "White Sox" did nothing wrong in this situation.  Adolfo has had an infuriating inability to stay healthy enough to make any significant progress in his game which would allow him to become a major leaguer.  The kid hit the Arizona League in 2014.  Since that time he has played over 100 games in a single season twice.  Twice!  His top figure was 112 games.  In 1735 ABs over those seven seasons, he has struck out in 642 of them.  HIs OPS over that time is .754. Trust me, if the kid had stayed healthy enough to evaluate adequately, it would have been done.  If he had hit, he would have been given an opportunity to do it in Chicago, because we all know how big of a black hole that has been in recent years.  The kid's inability to stay healthy isn't the Sox fault.
