Vote4Pedro Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 What the hell is this? I go away for like 2 hours to do some work after non stop checking all day and see this? Hahn and co must really not give a shit. Trading for this guy with the options still available in free agency is a slap in the face of all whitesox fans when they say the money will be spent. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerksticks Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Is this all because Hawk thought he was a good looking young player when the wheels came off in Texas a few years back? This is insane. his career war over is 1.8. I think Moncada had 1.8 after 15 games last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the shortened field Castellanos defense is relatively mitigated, so there’s that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KopechThrowsHeat Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 I honestly don't think they are making this move. All we have heard is how aggressive they are being. This is the exact opposite of what they should be doing. Think they are being used to up the price for miami Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He mashes RH pitching instead of LH pitching. Better platoon partner for Leury/Engel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lillian Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Just to clarify, I wouldn't be very pleased, if they settle for Mazara, as their right fielder for 2020, especially if he costs any decent prospects. The Benintendi comps were just for information purposes, not an attempt to argue for Mazara's acquisition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottyDo Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Correct me if I’m wrong, but we are likely looking at carrying an extra OFer with the increased roster size next year, right? Given Mazara’s upside, I don’t see this as a problem, provided the price is right and other OF options are still being explored. I’m higher on Mazara’s offensive potential than anyone else seems to be, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If his role is a utility player then I’m okay with it but if he’s your everyday right fielder as of today/tomorrow when castellanos, Calhoun, and Ozuna are still out there this is a failure by management Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y2Jimmy0 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 This is how I summed it up on twitter. Nomar Mazara can't hit lefties in the majors and Steele Walker can't hit lefties in the Carolina League. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For rebuilds to work you have to hit on some unexpected players. If he works out great, if not then you move on from him in a year. There is lots of talent there with him You are right about that. There were a few guys with untapped potential on the 05 team and broke out that year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the majority of his AB’s are against RHP, there’s nothing disappointing about that. He’s very productive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
