If Pollock continues to suck they're stuck with him for another season. Instead, they could have just declined Kimbrel's option and signed Pederson. 

What a disaster of an offseason.

Disagree. If you want to call them both Palka, be my guest. 

Burger can play 3B, that at least adds some value.  Sheets can't defend at all and shouldn't face lefties.  Palka was also a terrible defender, but he was at least fun bad.  Sheets is just bad.  Burger at least deserves a longer look than he's gotten so far.

Burger is what he is after less than 100 ABs in the majors? C'mon now.

What Sheets has 300 AB? You can say the same about him. 

What makes Sheets what he is and not Burger? 

Great outing by Dylan.  Now we need six out from Graveman and Hendriks.

why does it feel like we are going to blow this game

Burger can defend ok at 3B but also shouldn't be out there vs RHP. 

Since there are more RHP than LHP, you can get where I'm going with this. 

Going into this game, Sheets has 212 MLB AB and Burger has 93.

Cease's 3rd game with 1 hit and 10 or more K's tying him with one Chris Sale for the most all time by a Sox pitcher.

Should’ve left Cease in.

You can conclude this about Burger with less than a season in the MLB?

You are TLR best friend.

PLATOON EVERYONE!

Graveman falling victim to the infamous White Sox 8th inning fun.

Kendall shaky today

If we had a manager who would only use Sheets at 1B/DH, I might agree, but we've seen him in RF far too much and that liability outweighs any offense he provides from the left side.

Looks like he doesn't know where his pitches are going. 

Graveman fighting his control

Graveman got lucky there, he looks terrible today

No, my argument is that Sheets only has ~110 more MLB ABs than Burger so idk why people can be so definite about Sheets while being so lax about Burger. 

Either both suck or both have room to improve.

Not going to happen this early in the season.

I laughed at how bad the Sox left field defense has already graded out this season. These idiots never learn.

Adell bailed Graveman out. 

Jo Adell been our best player today.

If they hid him in LF it wouldn't be as big of a deal. I actually think Sheets is moving better than Vaughn this year when last year it was the opposite. 

However, neither Sheets nor Vaughn should be playing the OF.
