May 15May 15 The Sox whole damn lineup is lefties basically. The only right-handed regulars are Vargas and Meidroth. This team will get eaten alive if we face a good lefty when we make the playoffs. What's the solution here? Is trading for a right handed DH the obvious move? They really could use a righty between Mune and Colson.
May 15May 15 There's never such a thing as too many savages, Ron.Our lineup is actually fine vs even LHP (see below WRC+ vs LHP not including tonight's game):Murakami 137Montgomery 135 (he's actually slightly better vs LHP than RHP at least so far)Vargas 217 (!!!)Grichuk 113 (it will go way up after tonight)Meidroth 164 (!!!)Romo 121Antonacci 7 (ok that's bad but you can platoon him with Pereira against lefties)Pereira 206 (!!!)I'm not gonna count Beni because he shouldn't be in the lineup regardless of the pitcher.And ofcourse when Braden comes up he is a switch hitter. This lineup is full of guys that also kill lefties. Even the two big savages are very good against lefties. Edited May 15May 15 by SoCalChiSox

May 15May 15 I could absolutely see us targeting a RH DH, a starting pitcher, and a reliever at the deadline with moves that won’t sacrifice our prominent prospect pool.While that is true, I just wanted to construct a sentence with such a masterful example of consonance:“Prominent prospect pool.”
