Luis Robert is also only 2 weeks behind this schedule. Sox minor league teams are going to rake for a few weeks

Let's hope he doesn't injure himself on the way to the ballpark.

I just realized this also means he will be back for the Cubs series.

THANKS CUBS!!!

A million percent yes. Hopefully no setbacks. Obviously he should DH only. Don't even allow the man access to any sort of baseball mitt until the season is over.

He injured himself running the bases last year. The same way we lost Madrigal and Robert. So while taking him out of the field is a start, Eloy seems to find a way. We've multiple serious injuries running the bases and swinging a bat this season.

The team is stronger because of this. Vaughn is an upgrade defensively in LF and we found out that our top 10 prospect has positional versatility. The OF D is going to be deadly in the late innings during the playoffs with a combination of Robert, Engel and Hamilton

Eloy won't have to run very hard during his home run trot.

I think some have forgotten how really good he is

I worry more about Robert because he was much less of a sure thing when he got hurt. He was emerging. Eloy was already there...and getting better

He wasn't hitting for much power, but he was still hitting above .300 and getting on base at nearly a .360 clip, while still playing a gold glove CF.

Luis Robert's OPS was .822 when he got hurt. I'm not worried about him. He's gonna be good

I decided for tonight that I'll have the Sox on 1 screen and I'll chromecast a Dash stream to the other one. Going to be fun to watch Eloy crush minor league pitching.

Hit a homer today.

I'm guessing Burger is the one to be sent down when Eloy comes back.

Normally I'd say Goodwin but he has played very and his left handed has done quite a bit of work.

Neither one is going to help in beating the Houston Astros in October. Inevitably, a scrub will be a key in a certain game in every series, but it's always random and it usually means the other team made a mistake.

It's studs that win you playoff games.

I just don't understand why we care that Leury almost hit for the cycle against a 30 win team. I don't care that Hamilton made a nice catch that turned into the catch of the year because he got really muddy.

I care that studs are in the lineup and our 3 and 4 starters get right. I care that certain high leverage relievers get the job done. I give zero fucks about Burger, Hamilton, Goodwin, Leury and Mendrick. The're filler. Every team has them and the teams that have a bunch of them, draft high.

I would hope people only care about those guys because its a long season, and having some unexpected guys step up with all the injuries is cool.

When everyone in back healthy, Goodwin or Sheets or whoever gets pushed to the side.

Can't get enough of this. First pitch hunting and it's a dart. It's not one of those lazy fly balls that drifts over the wall, this was a pure line drive

The thing is though, you need guys like that to step up if you're going to win a championship. For the 2021 White Sox, so far, so good. Every heretofore worthless bum that they've trotted out there has come up big in certain situations. And all winning teams have guys that do that. In 2005 it was Timo Perez, Willie Harris, Pablo Ozuna, etc.

Yep. Group 4.

Blum and Widger knocked in the 6th and 7th runs in game 3. and Harris singled and scored the lone run in game 4.

Jim Leyritz. Sid Bream. Bucky Dent. Even John Danks had a moment.

Also, Goodwin is a former first-round pick and hit 17 home runs two years ago, so he is not of the same level of a guy like Danny Mendick.

Yep, 1st round pick, he's not some random guy. He is part of the future here

He’ll be position blocked for years. Maybe they can add him to the oft rumored Cease + prospects for two months of Joc Pederson.

Maybe Hayward’s contract as well.
