AJ'S Cousin Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 One of the last of the legit 2nd Baseman is gone. Jean Segura is signed by Miami. I don’t see see Burger taking grounders at second. Don’t see Moncada moving to to 2nd and Burger playing 3rd. Elvis is still out there I think and could fill the hole for a year or 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lip Man 1 Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 We shouldn't be surprised by this at all, that been the rumors for months and with the Sox up against the self-imposed payroll restrictions I would have been shocked if things turned out differently. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCalChiSox Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 But I thought RH said he was going to make a bunch of trades. If thats the case, we should be at least getting a platoon LH 2B to pair with the kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah are we sure they don't plan on platooning Romy and Leury, trying to salvage as much of that contract as possible?

TheFutureIsNear Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Does anybody really think Romy has any chance of being a good regular? Just don’t see any standout skills and the only real sustained success he had in the minors was 344 AB’s as a 24 in AA. Obviously our options are limited, but I think you have to let Sosa absolutely fail before Romy sees any kind of regular AB’s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romy should start as of now and make Sosa earn it at AAA or spring training. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the 900+ PA’s before and after the pandemic don’t mean anything? And also the mediocre #’s at Miami that caused him to be an 18th round pick? Just trying to be honest here…every organization has a AAAA utility infielder, ours isn’t anything special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Romy earns it then so be it. Sosa looked like he could use more time in the minors. Maybe he will earn a quick call up early in the season.

He hits the ball very hard. If other orgs have a player that hits the ball very hard and plays 6 positions they should see what they have as well. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppysox Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 I have no idea what is taking Hahn so long to get Madrigal back where he belongs. If the scouts and FO thought, he deserved to be drafted 4th overall in the country...surly he is good enough to play in front of Leury. It would also help me get over the stench of the Kimbrel disaster. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he has an outside shot to put up 15-20 HR's with the correct swing changes. There are obviously concerns with his lack of discipline, but I'd be willing to give him a shot with this new 2.5 hitting coach approach.

Tnetennba Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 I have no doubt Leury is their 2B backup plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjusttyped Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 The Sox have been getting 2nd base wrong for almost 20 years but I'm sure they'll finally get it right with a Romy/Sosa/Leury trifecta 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCalChiSox Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Get a damn trade done with a RP like Joe Kelly for a platoon LH 2B with good D and WRC+ north of 100 vs RHP like Guillorme already. Every day I keep checking and they haven't done jack s%*#. Get something done already. Get something fucking done already. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
