fathom Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jun 5, 2015 -> 02:04 AM) Under no circumstance does Davidson deserve a major league job. He'd be embarrassed by major league pitching, even in a platoon role. He's actually doing quite well vs LHP these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigHurt3515 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 This feels like another dud game offensively. We need to string together games where we score 5+ runs a game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 59 pitches for Gallardo through 3, that's a pretty poor pace so we should likely see their middle relief in the 6th or 7th at the latest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Jun 4, 2015 -> 07:03 PM) I gotta admit that this is where I agree with Hawk. If your team is struggling to score runs why sacrifice defense? I like Gordon at 3rd because Gillaspie is just too inconsistent. Tell that to Brian Anderson/Mackowiak in 2006....or Andruw Jones/Kotsay over Thome in 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your team is struggling to score runs why sacrifice defense? I like Gordon at 3rd because Gillaspie is just too inconsistent. These are dumb generalisations. It's about the valuation of the player as a whole. Sanchez is not providing anywhere close to enough defence to make up for his completely horrendous offence. At the moment, bar an enormous offensive improvement, the White Sox are much better with Beckham at 2nd and Gillaspie at 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he could run into one and hit a homer. That's more than I can say for about 5 of the hitters in the lineup vs LHP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your team is struggling to score runs why sacrifice defense? I like Gordon at 3rd because Gillaspie is just too inconsistent. I'm fine with Gordon at 3B over Gillaspie for the time-being. But Sanchez has been so awful offensively, that's he actually provided the same amount of negative WAR as Micah in less games. Obviously Sanchez will improve with the bat, but we can't wait forever despite his defense. I'd say give him a few more weeks and start thinking contigencies.

The season before the race to the worst record was the Carlos Rodon sweepstakes, i think at times teams jist out dumb themselves. Houston could have Bryant and Rodon on their roster. BTW Steve Stone, that is an obvious error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll admit I was surprised to see his splits, but I'm still skeptical of him having success at the major league level. If we fall out of the race, I'd try him in a platoon role.

caulfield12 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 (edited) Beckham 14/39 on the road trip (.359, and .302 the season against RHP, about 60 points less vs. LHP...which doesn't bode well for split time with Conor) Alexei Ramirez now playing in his 1,000 game as a White Sox SS.

Chicago White Sox Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I really think we need to change up the lineup a bit. Give Beckham & Soto the bulk of playing time at 3B & C, while moving Melky down in the lineup. 1. Eaton, CF 2. Beckham, 2B 3. Abreu, 1B/DH 4. LaRoche, DH/1B 5. Avi Garcia, RF 6. Melky Cabrera, LF 7. Ramirez, SS 8. Soto, C 9. Carlos Sanchez, 2B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
