May 24, 20241 yr Eloy has now missed 284 games in his 5.5 year career so far, with one of those seasons being 60 games of course. 472 games played, 756 games total (through 5/23) He has missed 37.5% of the games the Sox have played since he made the team.

Honestly? That's lower than I would have guessed.

May 24, 20241 yr Eloy must love the offseason when he's not hurt. Is his only hope for the future in the game to lose 60 pounds and just reinvent his body? I mean he's done, finished. He can't stay healthy for more than 10 games or so at a time. He's so tall he needs to turn into a lean machine, a Claudell Washington body type. I tell u he should never play another game in a Sox uniform. Just get rid of him.

But come shortly after the season ends "he gone!"

May 24, 20241 yr When it happened Gordo said it looked like a 6 week hammy to him., he's probably right, and probably got into a little trouble for saying it on the White Sox State TV airwaves. Edited May 24, 20241 yr by Dick Allen

Bonilla was owed around $6 million when the Mets let him go. To get him off the books, they agreed to 25 $1 million deferred payments. The $6 million went off their books, they then bought a high paying annuity with it. Of course they bought the annuity from Bernie Madoff.
