Can he adjust to that mindset and be mentally prepared to just hit? Who cares about Eloys feelings. He’s lost that luxury. If he wants to get another decent contract after this one, he needs to hit.

Robert has to actually hit for consistent power first before it becomes a given. Those three would be last in baseball in terms of power outlook.

December 16, 20223 yr Literally the best #2 hitter they can get on the market that is Lefty. Robert in the 3 hole will be a MONSTER with TA and Beni setting the table.

Ok maybe mediocre is harsh in Jansen’s case, but I would still want someone better than him if Hendriks is being shipped away.

Those three would be last in baseball in terms of power outlook. No reason to think those three couldn’t combine for 50 homers. You would think that would be average around the majors.

December 16, 20223 yr TA Benintendi Robert Eloy AV Moncada Jansen/Yaz/Seby Biggio Colas I think I could live with that.

December 16, 20223 yr 8 minutes ago, Tnetennba said: Fix those launch angles and a few guys should be 25-30 HR guys. Yup, the raw power is there for several guys…just need to relearn on how best to harness it
December 16, 20223 yr 2 minutes ago, Tnetennba said: And sadly an improvement from 2022! Well as of now the White Sox are shown by Fangraphs with 79 OF home runs last year. I do think they're counting Eloy's full total in that, if you drop those where he was DH out then they're at 68.
December 16, 20223 yr Getting Jansen, who is from Elmhurst, would have the extra added attraction of Benetti constantly reminding us where he is from.
