romad1 Posted August 12 Posted August 12 I'm thinking Torres has a good night. He has been resistant to negative streaks and he had a really uggo of a night last night. Quote

I also hope that the heavy use of LHP last night by White Sox means they are burned and can't throw as many at Greene, Mckinstry and Carpenter tonight. Quote

Yeah - I expected him to crash a lot worse than he has. After the blistering start he had a week May but then had a good June and has managed to hang around 750 OPS all through July and August, which is more than I thought he could sustain that long. His fielding grades look weird though - of course he's moved around so much they are all too SSS, but BR grades him high as a SS and poorly as a 3B so far, but I'd argue it's the reverse that is more likely the truth.

Just the eye test, he seems to have a good arm. When he gets to a ball, he usually makes a strong throw. The problem, at least at SS, seems to be his range. IDK if the stats support it but he seems to have limited range at short. Quote

IdahoBert Posted August 12 Posted August 12 For those of you living in Chicagoland I’m expecting either driveway or stoop reports every 10 minutes. So chop chop get with it. Quote

Tigermojo Posted August 12 Posted August 12 This will be Keith's 40th game as DH. I'm surprised they don't give him more time at third. Quote

I suppose even on his best day Keith doesn't have McKinstry's arm, so if you aren't using Zach in the OF, either Torres or Keith ends up a DH, esp since Torkelson is quietly earning plus fielding grades at 1st this season. I do wonder what they are going to tell Keith to work on this winter though. Edited August 12 by gehringer_2 Quote
