oldsox Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 1 minute ago, chitownsportsfan said: It's probably the build and skin color but I cannot help but liken Lopez a bit to Dave Stewart. As I kid it always seemed like Stewart was a tough customer that never would give in, even if he didn't really have much other than one pitch and some guts. I see Stewart had 27 career fWAR. I would take that from Lopez, to say the least. Lousy General Manager, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean it's not awful for a california blend cheapie but I've had better at the price point. let's be real after it's half gone anyways I don't care that much.

chitownsportsfan Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 Adam Engel has swing mechanics where if you saw him at a camp you'd think he didn't have a shot of getting a D1 scholarship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 It wasn’t about extension...it was in just a little on his hands and he got under it..but the process was sound at least. If he extended, he would have had the bat sawn off with the knob left in his hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chitownsportsfan Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 I mean he's out there gutting it out with 1 pitch. That's more than you can say for Giolito most nights for example. Not saying this is some great performance but he's hanging in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a below average fastball spin rate, and almost non-existent secondary stuff, I'm not sure he's anything more that AAAA fodder to be honest. I have more faith in Giolito and Dunning than him. Giolito was a project and we knew that, we might be about to get the payoff on that one. If they can flip him for a hitter or other prospects this TDL I wouldn't have a problem with it in the least. try to get someone to buy fools gold.
