June 4, 20241 yr 34 SBs is nuts. It looks like he has 31 hits and 13 walks. So he's been on base 44 times and stole 34 bases. That's fun.

I'm confused. Do legitimate organizations not call up minor leaguers when their players get injured?

June 4, 20241 yr If you're going to call up a guy not on the 40-man, why not check out Brooks Baldwin before other guys like Ramos, Montgomery, Gonzalez are ready for a legit shot?

June 4, 20241 yr Need to clear a 40-man spot for this, so either someone is getting transferred to the 60-day IL or someone is getting DFA. Don't see an obvious DFA candidate except perhaps Remillard.

Or maybe Robert takes Vaughn's spot and he is headed to IL as well. https://x.com/cst_soxvan/status/1798042263916007626?s=46&t=ZsD-oMA2yHZYnWZDZsTK_w AV must be hitting the IL.

I think they need an OF. Reading tea leaves I think Fletcher and AV hit the IL. Which means Gavin is playing 1B, even tho he isn’t an OF, that leaves Pham, Robert and Colas covering the OF. Which is actually a good thing, but do need a 4th OF. Baldwin can play OF, but he’s mainly played IF this season.

Sheets is probably moving to 1B more often, though it might be interesting to see if Corey Lee gets time there too.

Guessing they'd rather him play everyday, and Ellis is a perfect pinch runner. Idk, doesn't make a ton of sense but that must be the logic. Edited June 4, 20241 yr by ChiSox59

I would think that Braden Shewmake, hitting 5-33 at AAA, would be the lowest hanging fruit.

"Panic" for a team that's 30 games under .500 is such a bizarre and illogical concept that I'm not even sure what it means. Should the worst team in the league not shuffle the roster? Should they not panic? I mean, wtf are you even saying?

You are 30 games under, quit playing awful 38 year old DFA candidates and embrace the fact you suck. Personally I imagine Getz already calling Avi to see if he will come back after he clears waivers.

Unless you think Julks should play every day instead of against just lefties. Which I guess he has earned (for now). Edit: very small sample size for both, but he's definitely better against lefties than righties. Could easily platoon with any young lefty (Colsa, DeLoach, Fletcher, Sheets with Colas at 1B) and it would be fine. Edited June 4, 20241 yr by Bob Sacamano

Personally I imagine Getz already calling Avi to see if he will come back after he clears waivers. So they should "embrace the fact they suck" and not do anything with the roster? What? That makes absolutely no sense. What are you saying? ?
