Tnetennba Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Robert Yo Abreu Grandal Eloy Mazara TA DH? Madrigal Even penciling him into the line up doesn't do much for me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moan4Yoan Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 (edited) 2 minutes ago, Chicago White Sox said: They probably have it their demented minds they’ll make a run at Mookie next year. I mean, they refused to even take a token run at Cole & Strasburg, but I’m sure they’ll pump themselves up for a half-assed Betts pursuit. Let’s just hope that a bunch of the 2021 free agents don’t sign extensions beforehand or we will really be in a fucking predicament. This wait until next year to spend big stuff is a freaking joke. The front office must be hoping they can delay the supposed spending until fans simply forget about it.

Donny Lucy's Avocado Farm Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 The Sox have a major league RF'r now. Could have done better with the stars aligned and all, but... its not Ryan Cordell. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very MEH player We were told the Machado money would be spent, it still has not been spent and now we’re gonna be spoon fed by the White Sox Talk guys Mookie to the White Sox in 2020 Jerry isn’t gonna spend the money it takes to put us over the top. I have not read one single fan say or even accept this as a "big move." Edited December 11, 2019 by HOFHurt35 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 3 minutes ago, Chisox378 said: Steele Walker is a better hitter right now than Mazara. We should have kept Walker and put him in RF. For someone who likes basic stats, you should be salivating at the fact that Mazara's lowest batting average in the big leagues is .253 (Grandal's highest in his career is .247 not counting his sample sized '12 season). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difference is Grandal can draw walks as he had 109 last season as a catcher. I'm sure someone on the Rangers scout team feels like I do otherwise they wouldn't have traded for Walker straight up.

mataipaepae Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 What if Mazara is looked at as a DH? Still bring in a Joc peterson type to play RF. And sign a bumgartner 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I look at k to walk coupled with batting average and doubles and triples. Love Madrigal!!! Mazara batting average not too impressive. Most importantly smart unselfish hitters, not HR or nothing guys. Edited December 11, 2019 by Chisox378 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 19 minutes ago, fathom said: Funny thing is he’s probably our 2nd best hitter against RHP behind Yoan I’m not sure about that. Here’s our roster’s wRC+ against RHP last year: Moncada = 148 Anderson = 132 Jimenez = 120 Grandal = 114 Mazara = 110 Collins = 99 Abreu = 99 I would expect Collins & Abreu to both be better against RHP. Honestly, wouldn’t be surprised if Mazara was the low man on the totem pole next year out of these seven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Nomar Mazara was the worst qualified OF against LHP last year with a 55 wRC+. You know who would have been a perfect platoon for him since that's really all he can be trusted for?......Hunter Renfroe, who I wanted before he got traded to the Rays. 139 wRC+ career vs. LHP. Sigh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
