Capn12 Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 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.

greg775 Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won't eat his salary and pay him for doing nothing, JR doesn't like that. But come shortly after the season ends "he gone!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 (edited) 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.

Wouldn't you rather pay Iloy $500k a year for the next 26 years over $13 mil this year? Turns out it wasn't. 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. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
