Schwarbs played a pop up that hung in the air forever into an RBI double yesterday, just in case we are tabulating LF defense on both sides of town

I agree.

The basic everyday lineup should be;

Timmay SS
Moncada 3B
Abreu 1B/DH
Eloy LF
Grandal/McCann C
Robert CF
Encarnacion/Grandal/McCann DH
Mazara/Engel RF
Mendick/Goins 2B


I'd even be fine with batting Encarnacion 8th because he's been brutal.

Phil dipshit started this thread August 6th. Since then, Eloy's numbers;

7 HR 16 RBI .831 OPS

I find it really interesting that they've elevated Eloy to the two hole in the line-up with Moncada out of order. Eloy, to me is right now an ELITE HITTER already and his up side is off of the charts. He and Robert in the White Sox line-up for many many years is absolutely awesome.

That really was a remarkable trade. I would have thought Eloy alone would have been sufficient. Eloy and Cease didn't look good for the Cubs even on the day of the trade.

It was robbery from day one. I liked Quintana less for the player he was on the Sox and more for the fact that he rose from being a minor league free agent to bonafide good starting pitcher.

He was a good pitcher. Good enough to fleece a pitching starved franchise. It happens.

Good pitcher, not a good dish washer.

On pace for 50 home runs this year

41 HR in his first 151 games. As you observed, the pace is quickening from every 16 PA to every 11 now.

Everyone talks about all the other players but Eloy is my guy. He plays with such joy and even when his D gets disrespected by Anderson or Robert, he laughs about it. He's also is smart, already having a pretty good grasp of English.

Eloy-O-Meter registering a 455.

Right now. I would put Eloy in the top five hitters in all of baseball category.

He waves to the camera like a burrito.

One thing that is fantastic with Eloy is his plate coverage and pitch recognition. I don't know how in the hell you can pitch to him with that plate coverage. He has very long arms and can reach borderline pitches and get a piece of them and do this until he gets his pitch. And the pitches outside he merely steps toward and flicks them to and over the fence in right field. He really is an amazing hitter.

he does a little bit, but who cares. As long as he keeps hitting home runs, he can suck a golf-ball through a garden hose while wearing a pink tutu for all I care.

It hurts a little...but highly accurate. So long, Eloy!

I think he had a decent start (first handful of games) for the O's, but looked up his numbers, and he actually has worse stats than he did with the Sox.

Sox should sign him
