Lol. What was that player name?

Matt Davidson, among others.

An incomplete list of things Chris Woodward has called "elite"

Elvis will play 2B for the White Sox.

 

[saddles]

Elvis is certainly a reminder of how some players get old earlier than others. He is only 34.

But do you think he is better defensively than Seager? I think the bat is the difference

Like this sentimentally

Oh no, not at all. His early decline does remind me of what I was saying about Miller though.

Ahhh ok We will surely be watching this as the season develops

 

[Kelleyman]

Lowe a screen presence in the league now!
Lol

Rangers camp 'a world of difference' for Seager

@saddles isn't Chase a dude you are high on?

 

[Kelleyman]

The thought is if Robbie G does not produce they can just bail on him.

I would think Grossman and Miller could put up a .265/.320/.450 25 HR 75 RBI cumulative season in a platoon.. wether that’s in LF or at DH.
Let’s just hope they keep both of them
Strictly in the platoon.

Yep, hope he gets that foot fixed for good. The kid has a lot of talent.

It sounds like they may have bailed on Bubba unless he has a shot to win CF. No one in the media ever acts as if Leody has to win a job though.

Well he has an option but to me but yes Bubba may be in CF at some point.
Have to think him and Leody are the best outfielders defensively in our system

Think one should be in CF maybe batting 9th. If both pan out that would be great

Like this sentimentally

He is now my sentimental favorite to win a bullpen job.

He has had some bad injury breaks but was a tough competitor with mental toughness
I hope his stuff has made a comeback

Yeah, I meant more like them bailing on him for this season. Although, with what we have coming soon, I think any young guy who doesn't get a shot this year will be in even worse shape after Carter, Zavala, and Harris are ready. Wirh Bubba, Leody, Ezequiel, and Josh, it is pretty much shine this year or get left behind.

Foscue might be added to that upcoming OF group this year as well. At some point in 2024 Guitterez could be our top OF prospect.

 

[Kelleyman]

Hope he makes to MLB again
