WestEddy Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Bobby Malbec is the hittingest dude on the Knights, so, maybe HRs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleAleSox Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Little pop added to the roster. Hopefully chase doesn’t need surgery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogan873 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Hopefully Chase will be back soon. Better to give him the rest needed and IL him than have him be day-to-day. Let's see if Dalbec can keep hitting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 I wonder if a guy like Vaughn got brought back not because of his talent or potential, but because unlike the rest of this roster, he just doesn't get hurt. What are we doing health-wise as an organization? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy U Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 The Perez part of this is bad. Now, Sox need a fifth starter for the rest of the year. Iriarte may get first crack, but I would be shocked if he is any good. Maybe B. Wilson? I wonder if this hastens Schultz’s timetable to July or something. Crazy all the TJs.

46DidIt Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Perez was the one guy I thought Sox could count on for 30 decent starts. Sox going to need like ten starters to get through the season. Clevinger probably back in the rotation by June 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like teams are clammoring for bad 1B who can't hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just thinking of the connection in the context of health, maybe that's why Vaughn? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Vaughn was STILL 36th of 43 1Bs with at least 300 PA, as the White Sox primary 1B. Granted they managed to also have #41 in Gavin Sheets, but it looks like maybe two teams had a primary 1B worse than Vaughn. One of them didn't resign their primary 1B. The other got more fWAR out of a 1B in less than 300 PAs than the Sox got out of Vaughn in 619 PAs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrockway Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 shout out Chase going out and playing shortstop yesterday. sucks about Perez, he's off to a really nice start, they really need to think of a new term for "elbow inflammation" because "elbow inflammation" doesn't sound like that big of a deal but it's pretty much the death knell of a pitcher.

ChiSox59 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 I have not been one clamoring for Elko immediately, but Dalbec over Elko is an interesting one. Neither really cover anything but 1B/DH. Both hit RH. I guess Dalbec could stand at 3B, but he's not going to over the other incumbent 3B options. Dalbec has been solid so far, but he's nearly 30. I guess perhaps Sox feel his 40 man spot will be easier to clear than Elko? That's about the only reason I can see for this decision. Unless Lee is really close and we will start seeing Quero at DH most days he's not catching, then there really aren't At bats for Elko at the moment. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dalbec's been playing RF too in AAA which I then assume to mean he can also play LF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 9 minutes ago, CaliSoxFanViaSWside said: Dalbec's been playing RF too in AAA which I then assume to mean he can also play LF. Usually a reasonable assumption, but this is the White Sox. Eloy "played" RF. He couldn't play LF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 FWIW, Elko has the biggest wOBA vs xwOBA differential in all of AAA. That is, he hasn't struck the ball nearly as well as his stats would suggest. Dalbec on the other hand has good underlying metrics. Might just be that simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
