You don’t arbitrarily call someone up in a season if the player doesn’t appear ready for the majors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other thing I found interesting is just yesterday "Dr." Grifol said Mendick's back tightness would just be for a day or two, be safe with him. 24 hours later he's on the 10 day IL...😆 Doesn't matter in the long run this year but just appears to be another level of incompetence and people in the department not communicating with each other.

You can tell he needs a lot of work based on his rundown decision with Goldschmidt. He fits right in fundamental-wise with the rest of the buffoons.

pcq Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Brett Phillips given his release. Had a 47% K rate at Charlotte. Another historically bad hitter sighed by Getz. Not even AAA worthy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteSox2023 Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Isn’t it funny which notable poster has avoided this thread? Even he can’t defend this stupid Getz move. 🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorStSox Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Definitely not a fan of bringing Ramos up right now, but I have to wonder what's going on with Sosa and Colas for the Sox to give up on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colas seems to have done something to piss off folks in the front office/management that's for sure. Granted I think the guy is as "baseball-stupid" as the rest of them but it seems pretty clear he's being railroaded and not getting a lot of chances. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zisk Posted May 5 Share Posted May 5 Ramos might be OK. He's the White Sox anti prospect. Takes walks, hits a few taters, plays good defense. He's the same age as Montgomery, and has been a little better at AA. Slow start this year, but some times s@#t happens. Maybe had a nagging injury or something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
