Hope he is still "loving it" in Toledo with the Mudhens you ****. Lord. Mr. Gonna shock the world and still find a starter role? BS. Hit the road dude- you 're officially taking up the roster spot for someone more capible at this time. There comes a time in everyones lives when you have to swallow your ego and step aside... I think this is your time man.
If he can- it would be good for the ChiSox. I would say GREAT for the ChiSox, but they pitched well last year for the most part already. They need a thread that reads, Rios, Dunn, and Beckham finally discover how to hit a ball into play as opposed an out...
IMO, they get that and the Sox will be right back in the thick of the Central for a run to the post season. Detroit may be the favorite, but the Sox and Tribe still have more than enough parts to make a race out of things easily possible in the AL Central...
I dont see any current third baseman hit like Cabby though. Honestly- there is going to be a trade off. But he CAN play the position. Thats better than Hanley who has to learn it. And thats better than inge who is average now defensive but a black hole in hitting. There is going to be a trade off because there is no perfect hitter defender out there. I know there will be things missed- but I have seen Inge miss plays too. And Don Kelly to boot. The best option is to slide Miggy to third. No question. This is not just physical- but mental. Mentally he knows the position. He will translate bact to a tolerable place. I dont doubt that. I know everyone here does- but no one has hit better than Cabby since 2009. Not even Pujols. I dont see any 3rd basemen even CLOSE. That said, His bat will MORE than make up for the deficet. Maybe I am a glass is half full guy here, but I think he will figure it out and be fine. Maybe a lil tic up in our staff ERA, but I highly doubt he is costing us whole games.
I cant wait to see them batting.. That will be my fun part! I know the defence will be less- but Cabby has lost an estimated 30-40lbs, he isnt gonna be the best but he will be more tolerible than a guy with bad knees, that bats .198, and doesnt have the range or youth he used to either. I will take Miggy and Fielder at the corners any day over keeping inge in the lineup. The man has been a rally killer since the final out of game 5 of the 2006 World Series...
Honestly- I would like to see the two of them batting in Cellular... That band box will be humorous...
I am so freaking sick of this Inge thing. Want to start Inge? Hit the freaking ball. If you cant do that be happy as a late inning defensive substitution.
:p
...so I think Santi and Rayburn will split time but seriously, Inge gets **** and somehow cries his way into the line up...

I know its jaded, I do wish Joel well. But man, I just think he is done.
