flavum Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 (edited) Here’s an interview Eddie Robinson did with Ben Lindbergh last year. Long career in baseball... https://blogs.fangraphs.com/effectively-wild-episode-1454-where-have-you-gone-mr-robinson/ ...and now he has his own podcast. Good for him! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-golden-age-of-baseball-with-eddie-robinson/id1535227249?i=1000494175588 Edited December 15, 2020 by flavum 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Jesse Rogers has been vocal the last few days about the rising possibility of the Cubs dealing Yu. Â Watch out for the Twins here, as they pursued him a few years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VAfan Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 On 12/12/2020 at 3:17 PM, Vulture said: Dahl is arb eligible through ‘23 with a baseline now of 3 million. No reason the Sox couldn’t or shouldn’t have beaten that if they are looking for production at a budget. Definition of a buy low signing. Good move for the Rangers though David Dahl is a Colorado player with Colorado splits. He had a .751 OPS on the road, 1.000 OPS in Colorado. And that was his good year. If you look at his career splits, they are worse. Dahl is cheaper than Eaton, but away from Colorado, he's never been better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Side Hit Men Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 This would have been a nice pickup by the White Sox. $3M guaranteed plus a second year team option. https://www.mlb.com/news/mike-zunino-rays-agree-to-deal Also, MLB reports DeScalfani will sign with the Giants, terms pending.

Dahl is cheaper than Eaton, but away from Colorado, he's never been better. His splits were better than LeMehiue. There have been studies performed that demonstrate coors effect has negative impact on road splits. Players road splits consistently improve after leaving the Rockies. Someone posted these previously Players generally normally hit significantly better at home no matter where they play as well. Probably still a .800+ ops hitter. If you actually watch the game it is clear he can hit Edited December 16, 2020 by Vulture 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiddleCoastBias Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Not sure where else to put this or if it's already been mentioned, but Chuck's podcast interviewed Katz. Some really good insight here, including guys preliminary work with Reynaldo Lopez. He specifically said they're working on the curve ball and bringing that back.

chetkincaid Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 MLB Network is speculating (albeit jokingly) that Yadier Molina will sign with the White Sox soon. I wouldn’t be shocked at all.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's nice to get a brief break from "JR is cheap" "TLR is a drunk" "RH is the worst GM ever" over and over in every thread to listen to this little oasis of sanity. Wow is this exciting. The idea of Katz working with Cease, Lopez, Kopeck and Crochett...be still my heart. There's also a nice article in Bleacher Report about the White Sox home grown relief staff.  So very much positive in this organization. So much to be excited about.  3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was this by Coop's design? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
