greg775 Posted December 25, 2024 Share Posted December 25, 2024 My view is different. In fact, I'm upset the Sox didn't sign him to a minor league deal. The chances of Eloy making it are the same as say, Robert, who also has proven nothing. In another throwaway season coming up, why didn't we reacquire Eloy. He still looks good in a uniform so to speak and if he's gonna save his career with a breakout year, why not with the Sox. Risk/reward. We should have picked him up. Cmon. He'd be as good as anybody we currently have for the outfield. Beni, Robert and Eloy on paper "again" would be potentially a winning threesome. Potentially. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To the best of my knowledge the team does not have a DH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why though? That should go to literally anyone else at this point. Even me. God knows I've been to more Sox games than Eloy has. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted December 25, 2024 Share Posted December 25, 2024 I would bet money that if the Sox would be the last team Eloy would sign a MiLB deal with after hearing his comments while with the Os Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus you had the negative optics of often jogging down to 1B to preserve what remained of his health.

Money/greed/fame is a great motivation for players...especially when the gravy train of "easy money" on that early extension came to an abrupt end. Why the White Sox "coddled" their players and DIDN'T force them to get into the "greatest shape of their lives" over the off seasons is a question best addressed to Hahn and Getz, especially in the past cases of Anderson (more off-field distractions), Grandal, Lynn, Rodon, Jimenez, Moncada, etc. Edited February 13 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 It’s just astonishing how the last core just fell apart. Abreu might be 45 years old so we can leave him out, but TA and Eloy are probably done with MLB. Vaughn and Madrigal are nothings. Moncada still seems to be able to hit, but certainly not at the level a top 2 or 3 overall prospect would hit, and he can’t stay on the field anyway. Robert can’t hit ,200. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johno Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 i’ve been a sports fan for over 55 years and i can honestly say i’ve never seen “so many top prospects” just completely fizzle out like we have seen with the White Sox prospects from 5 years back!!! You would have thought at least one would have become a consistent all star, but no, all became total bust!! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitekrazy Posted July 12 Share Posted July 12 Amazed how many become injury prone. We would like to blame lack of conditioning but it happens to even the most conditioned players in all sports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
