9/3 at Minnesota Twins

Lol Shuck might be a 4th outfielder on a contending team but he should be starting on the Sox in Avi's place with Avi being 4th outfielder by committee.

Sox 6-4

If they win today, it'll be the first one against the Twins this year? Correct?

5th overall. 2nd up there.

 

They are 4-11.

Just terrible

Abreu's fat ass needs to stop acting like he has speed.

No.

At least he tries to get a hit and not blast it right at players in a shift. On this team he's a starter definitely.

Exactly. But I was thinking he should replace LaRoche. LaRoche has no business playing in the big leagues anymore on a regular basis. Pinch hitter vs. righties maybe.

It's embarrassing to see the White Sox run the bases.

This is what people don't realize. the Sox ineptitude has helped Minnesota be a surprise team in the division this year. Owning the White Sox has made a big difference in their season. Sox have a terrible attitude against their division foes.

Also, see Indians, Cleveland - 2013

No.

 

Shuck is a competent defender and a decent bat. That's more that can be said about a few of the alleged starters RV throws out there.

Is it ok yet to note that Eduardo Escobar was labeled on this site as "Just a utility player" and he's absolutely ripping us and contributed to the Twins for a couple years now?

Indians got exposed pretty quick in that wild card game. I think they were like 15-4 against the SOX. It was ridiculous.

Here they go.

Mauer always does this against Sox.

It's a pretty helpless feeling when you figure the Twins will answer back.

I wouldn't call him a stud but kinda figured we'd regret the trade.

Indians call up lefty Giovanni Soto. It has to happen, right?

I wouldn't play him ahead of any of our outfielders. That includes Avi, who we perhaps still have to learn some things about. We know what Shuck is, and it's a 4th outfielder. A singles hitter.

 

I'd be okay with him platooning with LaRoche.

Who plays when there's a lefty on the mound? Who plays when there's a righty?

Escobar put up a .676 OPS in 2307 PA in the minor leagues, and a .559 OPS in 104 PA with the Sox. In order to see him as anything other than a utility player, you would have needed to see a fixable flaw in his swing.

How does Vince Coleman still have a job?

We've been bad long before he came along. Culture change is needed with this coaching staff. Along with some f***ing good players.

A .676 OPS, even slightly below that, is a decent SS at this point.

 

I really do think we get way too happy to say "Oh this guy is nothing, he's just a utility player", at least on this site. We could use some "Decent, slightly above replacement, utility players". That's better than what we've had at several spots.

I haven't even noticed...was that fulltime job, or just a spring training thing?
