South Side Hit Men Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 2 hours ago, HOFHurt35 said: If Tim Anderson can be asked to shift to 2B, there is no reason why Moncada (a better glove all around) cannot be asked to do the same in order to keep Burger in the lineup permanently. Moncada and Anderson are weak ass bats where they should accommodate if asked to. If Moncada is out the year, and Burger is the regular 3B he will end up with a near zero or negative fWAR, and be among if not the worst defensive 3B in MLB. Will likely impact his bat as well, finish around .750 or below. They protected him and batted him 7th/8th for a reason, he is being completely exposed once teams took notice that they actually had to pay attention to him. Last 14 games .542 OPS, .180 OBP Last 28 games .722 OPS, .247 OBP 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has been a consistent theme since Rick Hahn started hiring hitting coaches. You have to attach pitchers aggressively, that’s their goal. OK but maybe that would work with better hitters than we have on a roster now. We have too many hitters that can’t hit a slider/ breaking pitches. The aggressive attack is not working so we should adjust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when the guy being asked to move is almost to the point of being a defensive replacement player . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capn12 Posted June 24, 2023 Share Posted June 24, 2023 3 guys in the lineup, under 600 OPS. 1 legitimate hitter of the 9, over 800 OPS. The sooner the organization realizes its time to sell, the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately for Lucas, he has Hahn's defensive infield and RF behind him. Lucas also hurt himself with the hanger to Denver’s for a 2 run homer. One pitch has been the difference so far. The errors also hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acuna Riley Olson homered to pull within one in the 8th... Braves fan caught last ball one handed reaching out over the bullpen railing. Diaz 21/21 in saves. Cycle for De la Cruz and now has 2/4 fastest times from home to third in last four seasons now (10.7 range, Sox typical time to second). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
