Why not just have Morel fill in Lilli's spot?

 

I'm sad that CJ has been struggling, as he is probably my favorite farm hand for the sheer fact that he's a huge overachiever because of his work ethic.

 

Edit: Just dawned on me that means Gordon is probably being sent down, to play 2nd, and Lilli's spot is being taken by Morel after all.

My theory is that Kenny will use Morel as a trading chip (later this month perhaps) and wants to keep him in the minors so that he does not expose his flaws.

Typically, if Kw's doing that, I don't think the guy gets a promotion up to AAA, I feel like we start wondering why he's sitting at one level. Case in point: Gio, Carter, both could have been promoted but we held back and kept their numbers up at the level they were beating.

Morel's a better asset to the Sox than he is as a trade chip.

I puked all over my keyboard. If there is a player in our minors who has proven is he more completely worthless at the MLB level than Lillibridge I'd like to find him. He is garbage. BLAH.

I couldn't agree more, I was shocked when I saw people happy to see him being promoted again.

To be fair, 109 PAs isn't much of a sample size.

 

Not saying I want him up. But I don't think it would be the absolute worst thing in the world to see if he's made any legitimate improvements from last year.

At 3b, that might be generous.

I make a lot of excuses for Nix, but I think he’s manageable at 3b. The numbers support that’s he’s at least average, the eye test has him looking wobbly with flashes of brilliance. If Ozzie gives him the time, he might even develop into an above-average 3b. I think we might as well use the time that’s Teahen out to see him he can actually adjust.

Put me in the fathom Rock Raines boat.

Brett Lillibridge as our first “deserved” call-up is a pretty damning declaration on the state of the White Sox minor league organization.

well said...what a mess!

Agreed on these. Morel has never been high on the prospect lists, but I've felt all along he's better than that. Not to say that Kenny won't trade him if someone wants him bad enough, but I really think that if Teahen continues to struggle this season, and Morel looks good in Charlotte, he's this team's starting 3B in 2011.

 

Here comes the Keebler elf. Teahen on the 15 day DL.

So I assume/hope this means Nix plays near full time at 3B, and Lillibridge plays only as often as Nix did previously.

I sure hope so.

Interesting, Teahen's hurt that badly? I'm happy Beckham's still on the Major League squad, even if it's better for him to go to the minors (if that makes any sense). Hopefully Nix gets a lot of the ABs at 3rd.

Why can't Beckham be moved to third and Nix second? I know it is psyche thing but Beckham and Nix are comparable at second and Beckham is better at third.

So, I would assume the lineup today will have Nix at 3rd vs. Vizquel or The Kid patrolling some portion of the infield?

Except its not. He wouldn't be here except for an injury.

Cause Beckham's going to be playing 2nd base during his career here, so you want to get him as many reps as possible.

Most likely because Ozzie wants Beckham focusing on his swing right now, rather than re-learning how to play 3B.

Sox misspell their own player's name on the press release.

LINEUPS ARE OUT! And . . . Vizquel's at 3B and hitting 8th. HUZZAH!

I actually understand with Harden on the mound, but hopefully this doesn't become a habit. I'm sure it will be.
