witesoxfan Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Nice read, and this coincides with Balta's impression of him too. I feel a lot better about him in the top 10 now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 You could hear the excitement in the scout's voice on that video. Pretty neat. I'm sure he'll be a major leaguer soon - might he be considered a Marco Paddy player as he came out of Toronto? Not international, though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGajewski18 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Very good article. Honestly, I do like Reed a lot as our closer. His ERA is a little inflated with giving up runs in non save situations and 2 of his blown saves are because of the defense letting him down. With that being said, I can definitely see Webb coming up once Lindstrom, Thronton and Crain get traded, that if he continues his success in AAA. Going forward, we might be seeing Axelrod in the long relief role, Castro replacing Lindstrom, Webb replacing Crain and a young LHP to replace Thornton (I don't know if we have that in the system, Rodriguez?). But things could get interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 That Frasor trade, which already provided value in getting money off the books, is looking pretty darn good right now. Jaye is doing pretty well too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaye is doing pretty well too. Just looked at his stats too this season. Jaye, I could see having a ceiling of a back end type of the rotation guy. I am impressed how he is pitching though as of late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 HA! I think I was at the same game as this guy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After we published your article and tweeted it, he replied that he was there. His name is Nathaniel Stoltz, I've used his videos in a couple articles and he provides some good info on Kanny and WS guys from games. He recently joined Fangraphs, also writes for Beyond the Box Score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel a lot better about him in the top 10 now. Yeah, we actually do our research and put a lot of thought into the rankings. Who knew? It's hard not to like what Webb brings. He is the rare scenario of a minor league reliever holding strong value. Big velocity and closer upside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 The question right now is what is Reed worth on the trade market? Obviously, the White Sox would probably prefer one year grooming Webb in a set-up role, just like they did with Sergio Santos. Reed is one of the few that has been a closer almost his entire career in college and the pros. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
