Bob Sacamano Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 (edited) 1 minute ago, WestEddy said: His injury date is listed as 3/20 on Fangraphs' Roster Resource, so maybe May 19? The 60-Day clock starts game 1 of the season, so more end of May. Looked into this last year when thinking they should put Liam on 60-Day IL (and they should have).

Bob Sacamano Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 (edited) So they activate Eloy today and they're not even playing him? Why not just do it tomorrow or whenever the next time you're trying to get him into the lineup is? He does nothing for the bench since he can't play any positions.

Not to mention we still have to roster Clevinger and eventually Pham. How many more Latin players to we have to axe? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hankchifan Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 16 minutes ago, chitownsportsfan said: god he looks so stupid with the red gloves. there are guys that can get away with that, Eloy is not one of them. I know it doesn't matter but he still looks like a goof. He is filling the void left by Moncada with unconventional equipment colors with the same goofy results. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's good enough to come off the IL he sure as hell should be good enough to start! Why would you activate him if he's not ready to start? This "roster crunch" on a 40 win team is just the cherry on top of this franchise's stupidity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wegner Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 My guess is they are saving Eloy as the Manfred Man on 2B if we get to the 10th inning tonight. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One less day with another extra player on the roster, versus the guy from the IL who is getting paid no matter what. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quin Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 I love that us Getz detractors were told ad nauseum that pitchers like Flexen, Clevinger, Soroka and Fedde were brought on board specifically to avoid rushing guys like Nastrini and Cannon. And here we are. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getz’s plan of wasting money on garbage veterans was never about giving the young guys enough time to marinate in the minors. Getz only cared about waiting a few weeks to gain the extra year of control on the young guys. Edited April 15 by WhiteSox2023 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they did give the young guys enough time in the minors to get that extra year of control you so wanted. Who cares if they were going to give Nastrini and Cannon their shot early or not? You act like you stumbled upon Nixon's Watergate tapes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
