        I guess they want somebody to platoon with Evan against left handed pitching ....


        Grossman, 34, has spent this season with the White Sox, batting .211/.329/.268/.597 (15-71) with no home runs and 4 RBI. The switch-hitter has gone 6-for-16 (.375) with 2 doubles, 4 walks, and 4 strikeouts against left-handed pitchers in 2024. Last year, Grossman batted .309/.416/.536/.952 (34-110) with 5 home runs, 10 doubles, and 23 walks/32 strikeouts against left-handed pitching,

          I guess so because they have been trying Doran and lord knows he can’t play outfield very good.

            That's the dang truth. He needs to stick to the infield.

              I like Grossman but it doesn't really make sense, Langford should be back in a few weeks and then where do you leave him? Also I don't like the idea of not having Carter hit against lefties, he doesn't have much experience against lefties and needs regular at bats and he's to good not to have him play everday

                Why would you think he doesn't have much experience against lefties?

                I think I remember seeing a stat earlier in the season that he was horrible against lefties.

                  Robbie Grossman is no better outfielder than Duran, and he can’t hit anybody…

                  Duran is an infield project, or career utility guy, and it's time for him to be somebody else's. There is no reason to put him on the field when you have Josh Smith. I'd like to see Taveras shipped out too, if he has any value.

                    I don't know about his minor league numbers but apparently there's not many good lefties in the minors and he has only had 33 at bats total against a lefty so far

                      I didn't remember him doing much for the Rangers but evidently against lefties he's pretty solid since hes been away.

                      The switch-hitter has gone 6-for-16 (.375) with 2 doubles, 4 walks, and 4 strikeouts against left-handed pitchers in 2024. Last year, Grossman batted .309/.416/.536/.952 (34-110) with 5 home runs, 10 doubles, and 23 walks/32 strikeouts against left-handed pitching,

                        .309??? That is amazing, that guy was a rally killer from what I remember. I'll eat my words when I see it!

                            Double header today, glad to see they moved the game times from the originally scheduled 11 and 3. We'll see how stupid the lineups look, and which big leaguer needs "rest" rather than play 2 whole baseball games on the same day....

                            I did see Leiter is gonna start one, and Owen White has been called up.
