Lip Man 1 Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 (edited) And before you ask according to DVS in the story the Sox are going to play a man short for the length of his suspension. Words fail me...all you can do is laugh. 😆 https://chicago.suntimes.com/white-sox/2023/8/17/23835674/white-sox-tim-anderson-to-begin-serving-suspension-friday Regarding that bizarre Sox "philosophy" on playing a man or two short this is what I was told over the winter for what it is worth: “The White Sox playing shorthanded started in 2007 when Jermaine Dye got hurt and Kenny Williams refused to call up Brian Anderson or Ryan Sweeney. Maybe they were cheap, maybe they wanted to protect Herm’s record of keeping guys off the DL.” (Author’s Note: Herm Schneider was the Sox longtime head trainer and for years the Sox were among the league leaders in keeping players healthy.) “Jake Peavy made the comment one time, ‘They have no reservations about playing shorthanded.” Edited August 17, 2023 by Lip Man 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highland Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Won't miss Anderson. They're losing with him anyway. His one home run this year has been a real contribution. Only hope he is playing somewhere else next year. Or even this year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume this is not the case when a guy gets 80 games for PEDs. Different rules apply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThirdGen Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 My understanding is that players suspended for on field incidents cannot be replaced on the roster. Players suspended for off the field actions (domestic violence, PED, etc) can be replaced. So the Sox don't even have the option to fill the roster spot on this one.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will offer up year end and career TWTW (The Will To Win) scores for the entire team at the conclusion of the season. Game avoidance these remaining six weeks should be a goal of players looking to improve their TWTW scores. However, both Tim and Yoan are still outperforming the team both during their career and this season. Current overall record 48-73 .397 Tim Anderson (In 41-51 .446 vs. Out 7-22 .241) Yoan Moncada (In 26-31 .456 vs. Out 22-42 .344) Jake Burger (-15) wasn't the TWTW panacea (Final 2023 score In 35-53 .398 vs. Out 8-11 421). TWTW > fWAR, at least for Hawk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d IL Eloy unless he can for certain play this weekend, or send Sheets down. Would want Thompson available with the large outfield plus Roberts’ recent time off. I agree Elvis likely stays through year end, Hahn trying to avoid 100 Ls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, if you think you have to IL ELoy, do that otherwise send down Sheets. He has no business being on an MLB roster. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
