  1. Wow, I mentioned this a few days ago. MVP shot me down.
  2. Like who? I said its a close call.
  3. Or longer. I get it. I never expected so much support for Monasterio.
  4. When did I say it means nothing? I actually pointed out this exact downfall of the choice.
  5. They called him up as a RP'er, last year. Yes, it was different, as he was even farther away on the progress ladder.
  6. Just when you start feeling better about your rotation, your ace lays a stinker.
  7. Well, the Sox infielders have been gauged week to week. They've sucked. Look, my point was that was a "close call" and that Cheng would fill a bench role held by Monestario, who has been judged to the MLB OBP leader by some here, and perhaps platoon some. You guys are acting like I want him in a FT role batting second. (I'd be fine if he stays in AAA until needed.)
  8. I was gonna post, "No he doesns't," but then you posted this... 🤪
  9. Injuries and or promotions should give him a shot for a promotion, himself, at some point.
  10. I'm not disagreeing, but they said that last season as he led the league in IP.
  11. I do think mistakes can be made and players set back a little bit, but I agree.
  12. The line-up: L Anthony DH R Durbin 3B L Duran LF R Contreras 1B L Abreu RF R Story SS L Mayer 2B R Narvaez C R Rafaela CF
  13. Gotta hate how that destroyed his development time and career.
  14. For now, yes, but they saw it the other way, last year, when he was farther behind on the progress climb.
  15. Agreed. I'm so glad he got off to a good start and didn't have to deal with fan rumblings.
  16. While we all felt it was Mayer as the most likely infielder to be platooned, maybe Durbin is making a case. .402 Durbin v R .472 Monasterio v R Perhaps a lefty bat is needed more, now. (Yes, SSS)
  17. No disagreement, here. Of course, they've had some good luck, too, but it seems like more bad than good, so far. It's not the major reason we are where we are.
  18. Yup, but the close games losses (6) vs close game wins (1) hint at some bad luck. You disagree?
  19. It's a close call. He and Durbin are both RHBs. That's nothing "wrong with him," but I think Cheng is a better fit and better on D than Monasterio.
  20. That's why I did not mention them. He's take Monasterio's slot on the bench or possibly platoon with Durbin.
  21. We will also have to look at Monasterio, Durbin & IKF's Memorial Day numbers.
  22. My Cheng expectation upon a call-up: .600 + Better defense than we have.
  23. Yes, that is a major plus for that choice. I am aware of the advantages and disadvantages. It's a close call, to me.
