PaleAleSox Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 (edited) Who goes once Ramos is back? They better not throw him in Charlotte. Edit - Forgot Remillard existed. Edited May 17 by PaleAleSox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestEddy Posted May 17 Share Posted May 17 Very glad to see Shewmake off the 26-man. Now do Maldonado. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScootsMcGoots Posted May 18 Share Posted May 18 Bummer. I'm going to my first, and probably last, game of the season on Thursday. Was looking forward to seeing Ramos play, was hoping he'd be better by then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm disappointed, I thought he might show that he's at least a useful utility player. The bat is one thing but his fielding is also way worse than I expected. Remillard is straight up better than him, which is not saying much, but there's worse AAAA fodder. He's trying to be too cute with the baserunning lately but I think that's a top down initiative: take the risk for an extra base (though who knows what the hell happened at third base today). I think that's dumb baseball personally, but I guess this team has to manufacture runs in any way it can. BTW, Remillard's compiled 0.5 WAR and is sitting at .867 OPS through 8 games while playing above average defense. That's about the best you could ask for for a AAA player who gets called up every so often due to injury. I'm a fan, plus I like his batting stance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He started off very well last year before collapsing...his reality is somewhere between abysmal AAA numbers and better than expected MLB stats. The problem is that he doesn't possess a single plus skill in his toolbag. Bunting, maybe. But best case scenario is always going to be the last guy on the active roster, PR/PH, defensive replacement. We need to worry much much more about CORE pieces at this point. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteSox2023 Posted May 20 Share Posted May 20 Bummer’s numbers are starting to look good. His K/9 is good but his WHIP is still high from giving up too many hits. But it could still be a good trade for both teams with the Sox getting Shuster and Gowens. I’m skeptical on Shuster but we’ll see. Lopez, Soroka, and Shewmake are trash unfortunately.

WestEddy Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 His hot start doesn’t seem like it’s based on luck or that an extreme regression is due. Julks has been rock solid and the underlying data backs it up so far. Gotta give credit where credit is due. Getz and his scouts made a good move here. https://t.co/G55kl12Tiw pic.twitter.com/Bj5i5DPiIi — Michael Suareo (@MSuareo) June 10, 2024 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
