They truly didn’t like his medical report, but some people are just ignoring that aspect. No I agree. That was obviously make or break with them.

scs787 Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 The .898 OPS in his last 21 games, along with taking his low BABIP into account has me very content with this deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asindc Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Solid move that upgrades the roster by trading from minor league depth. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 57 minutes ago, KrankinSox said: Hernandez is a switch-hitting 2B, with 18 HRs and a WRC+ of 100. League average hitter is an upgrade over our current 2B. Owed about $2M more for the rest of 2021 and has a $6M 2022 team option with no buyout. Solid, unspectacular pickup to fill an obvious hole. Ah, the epitome of the 2014-2016 mindset applied to our 2021 championship contending team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmy U Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 I would be interested in what Future Sox guys say about Pilkington. His velocity is up, he’s had some success in a pitcher’s park in Birmingham. I would put him in the 15-20 range with McClure and Bilious. My fear is that Steiver and Lambert do not look like useful depth for the rotation. Pilkington was one of a handful of guys who could give you that next year. Off-season, Sox may want to trade upper level power prospects for upper level pitching depth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may have to switch hotels, though. Westin -> Marriott 24 minutes ago, chw42 said: For those that think Hernandez's HR output isn't sustainable: he's upped his barrel rate by 6% this year over his career norms. That's also 3x higher than his career norms. Is he just running into the ball more? Possibly. But it also just looks like a change in his approach. His rate of hitting the ball in the air is way up too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
