maxjusttyped Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 I don't see what benefit the Sox get from keeping everything so needlessly close to the vest. Just throw Fegan a bone occasionally. It's crazy we actually have to parse whether accounts like this are credible or not to stay informed on the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure that's much of a compliment or not...since he was once perceived to be one of the arms in waiting to get the next starting opportunity in the big league rotation.

Capn12 Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Eloy and TA on the IL. Moncada missing games due to various minor ailments. You could say this, and be referring to any number of seasons in the last few years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me a "minor" injury isn't two to four weeks, that's serious... because then he has to go on a rehab assignment which makes it longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they miss a couple of games, they miss a couple of games.” A couple games...that's fine. But if it turns into weeks or a constant nagging issue? That's another story. Same s%*# as last year, miss a 4 or 5 games then finally go on the IL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 (edited) So we have a veteran 2B (see Hernandez/Harrison) who will soon need to be replaced...a SS that needs to be replaced (Anderson) for someone (Andrus) who no longer has the range he once did, so we can actually play a 2B (Sosa) who should have gotten a lot of run last year in preparation for this moment but was screwed over by LaRussa's veteran preferences. I guess Popeye Rodriguez is next up? Seems they're not going to trust Erick Hernandez...as they view the Sosa/Andrus combo the best short-term solution. Should have just kept Mendick, lol...or followed through with the Burger to 2B fantasy. Edited April 11, 2023 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mighty Mite Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Same old story with this crowd, Moncada, Eloy and now TA with injuries, the Sox have either have the worst luck in MLB when it comes to injuries or the most fragile players I have seen in my 71 years as a Sox fan. How much longer before Luis Robert goes down with some ailment. White Sox.com has yet to report on TA heading to the IL or Sosa being called up so lets hope TA is OK but If Sosa is called up who goes down.
