The Sox cut him loose at the perfect time after 9 good seasons. He fell apart in 2023 once he signed with the Astros, but who really knows if he was truly only 36 at that point? 🤣 Edited 5 hours ago5 hr by WhiteSox2023

4 hours ago4 hr When he was called up last year, my husband noticed that he looks like Nathan from South Park (which makes Vasil Mimsy I guess) so I'll be sad for weird comedy reasons when they eventually get rid of him. But yeah, he strikes out too much and it seems like he might be bad at tagging people out
3 hours ago3 hr His statcast is looking really ugly. I like him as a player but his flaws have been showing up big time the last month. He's a glove first 2B but he's not elite just solid defensively and not sure an xwOBA of .281 is going to play long term. He's gotten lucky with BABIP at .348. He's probably just a solid utility IF without a big increase in his hitting metrics.

I understand starting Meidroth at 2B now with our lack of outfield depth. Ideally next year Brooks Baldwin (or a better free agent) will be in LF with The Chairman at 2B.

Meidroth is going to be very expendable, in fact there are already several viable candidates in the organization.
2 hours ago2 hr Right now, it is so hard to be a good righthanded hitter in mlb. So I feel for Chase. Eventually, he may be a weak side platoon bat with Antonacci?

You don't know if Roch can play second base like Chase does or hit major league pitching with a wood bat. He may turn out to be over-hyped like Vaughn

That said, I personally lean toward Lackey. Edited 1 hour ago1 hr by Lillian

1 hour ago1 hr Back in my day the Sox couldn't find a 2B to save their life, now we have way too many.

He may turn out to be over-hyped like VaughnI wouldn’t mind seeing how good Antonacci’s defense is at 2B because I do think his bat is better than Meidroth’s. I would also like to see more of a traditional slugger in LF. We just need to find another Braden Montgomery. 👍🏻Who knows what’s going to happen? Maybe they move around Vargas once Roch is ready to play? Edited 42 minutes ago42 min by WhiteSox2023
