Jake Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 I'm thinking the plan vs RHP is Vargas 1B, Rojas 3B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 9 minutes ago, kitekrazy said: Always assign players positions they don't play and somehow you hope it doesn't hurt their career. Of course for the Getz Sox that would be trade deadline career. No shortage of stupid in baseball when it comes to habitual losing small market teams. If baseball had stupid rankings instead of power rankings the Sox would be juggernauts. And they just keep doing it. I think a lot of it has to do with LaRussa. He loved to play guys where they didn't play. He once put Ron Kittle in CF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zisk Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 The best thing about this is someone got through to Reinsdorf. Maybe it means the young players will be unblocked. We don't have great young guys, but playing bums in front of tem is still a huge mistake. The Rojas signing was a big red flag. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 This move also frees up 3 catchers on the roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joejoesox Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Org is a clown show. Sent Vaughn down way way way later than they should've, and sent Elko down immediately because "we know what he is after 10 games" Team is gonna lose over 110 games this year. Who's your long term 1B option? Sosa? Palacios? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramos is still not even a good hitter at Charlotte...Vargas/Sosa have what value at 1B???? Vargas 3B Meidroth SS Sosa 2B Elko 1B...it's plain as day.

Who's your long term 1B option? Sosa? Palacios? IMO this is a good solution for now. Vargas has proven he's more than solid at 3B. He's not just going to lose that playing a couple times a week at 3B and it protects his body a bit. Elko probably is JAG, replacement level, he can go rake back in AAA. The key is just getting that black hole and aura vampire Vaughn away from the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Also, thank fucking god Vaughn’s ass has been demoted. Two years too late, but hopefully I never have to see him again in a Sox uniform (if I’m ever able to watch a Sox game again this year).

nrockway Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 seems likely that Teel is coming up soon and the three catchers can all play first base. in addition to Sosa or Vargas or frankly anybody. first base is easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 They should have released Vaughn. Sending him down is silly, stupid, dumb. Nice to see them messing with Elko's head already (sarcasm). Another sad day in franchise history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
