He's about a broken down Jose Abreu statistically at this point...minus the bigger salary, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So disappointing, Thought he would turn into a first class hitter. But like you said, it's back to struggling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The quote came from Dave O'Brien and Middlebrooks in the Tampa Bay series before the White Sox series. Since then, the White Sox have won 3 games against Boston in the 2 series. O'Brien must have been embarressed by the remarks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could’ve augmented their roster with vets and more proven young players and they said no. They overvalued their core.

They overvalued their core. And their successful hitting coach, now running the Sox hitting program We were telling those posters from their forum that not every prospect would become great, that their pitching was weaker than they thought, and that they needed to use some of those prospects to acquire some premium players before the luster wore off. It's still early, of course, but they basically did none of that and are now 3 games below .500, 12th in the league in runs scored, and second worst in runs allowed by 1 to Colorado (Sox have given up 24 fewer runs than Baltimore). Our run differential is only -6 because we can't hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Oh yay, Meidroth needs imaging and could require an IL stint. Knowing our luck, it will be a torn UCL and he will be out for the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desperately need Josh Rojas back just to solidify the infield defensively if Meidroth is going to be out for an extended period of time...in ST, that toe issue seemed like it would be a 7-10 day thing but has stretched on for weeks and weeks now into the season.

Minor sprains might heal within 6-8 weeks, while more severe cases requiring surgery can take 3-4 months or longer for full recovery... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
