South Side Hit Men Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 I missed this nugget in the Merkin piece "predicting" Moustakas, Pillar and Mendick will be the 2024 OD Bench. Apparently Tony, Getz and or Grifol think giving Eloy Jimenez a outfielder glove is a good idea, https://www.si.com/fannation/mlb/fastball/news/chicago-white-sox-primary-designated-hitter-eloy-jimenez-could-play-right-field-in-2024 Quote He could see a few games in right field.

He was doing well in his role until Haseley was unable to call for a ball. Moustakas has no place near this roster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moustakas has no place near this roster. Lunacy. Doesn't have an arm any better than Pollock and likely worse for that spot. Same way we got stuck with Vaughn and Sheets and even Palka out there. Flies directly in the face of all this incessant preaching about defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Side Hit Men Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 8 hours ago, Quin said: I'll never say a bad thing about Danny Mendick. He was doing well in his role until Haseley was unable to call for a ball. Moustakas has no place near this roster. Of the three, he is fine as the last guy since he can cover multiple infield and outfield positions. Soda should play regularly either across all three infield positions or let him start at 2B and bounce Lopez around. Liking breaking in Colas at 1B as well. The more multi position players the Sox can develop the better. When I mean multi-position, I mean average plus across multiple positions, not the Tony / Hahn roster several DH / 1B types and play them out of position.

True but at least it looks like a professional swing instead of that college metal bat swing he had before. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boopa1219 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I think Jordan Leasure should break camp with the team. He is a RP, there's no point in sending him back to the majors when the Sox are projected to lose 100 games this year. Put him in the pen and give the 7th or low leverage situations to start. Maybe use him as an opener but that would require a manager with a brain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it is that likely just because he'd need to be added to the 40 man, likely along with 4-5 other NRIs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but if he sticks at SS and can hit for AVG and get OBP, it's sort of fine, as Jimmy has mentioned. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Sacamano Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 1 hour ago, DirtySox said: Assuming Skubal (projected to be at the top of the staff) is healthy and assuming Pillar doesn't play himself off the roster, this is the OD lineup on 3/28 (lineup against lefties in general). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
