In lieu of what will be the obvious in that Eloy will break camp with the Sox this week, Delmonico found himself to be the odd man out. But there still may be one too many OFs and if another has to go, it's looking more and more like Palka will be the one.
After a surprisingly solid offensive output from him last season, including a team leading 26 HRs, his ST performance has been gawd-awful. This is a guy who needed to show that his bat alone could keep him on the roster, as he's not exactly a defensive artist out on the field. I think the writing on the wall for him began when the Sox signed Alonzo. That made Abreu the candidate for being the primary DH, which was really the only spot fit for Palka. I just don't see him getting the needed ABs to make a difference, altho he proved to be one hell of a pinch hitter. Does our roster have the luxury of carrying a player whose primary function is that of a PH?
