Southwest Sider Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 QUOTE (TitoMB @ Apr 29, 2015 -> 01:54 PM) lmao if you thought Shark was an ace, you are sorely mistaken. Well obviously, he's not pitching like one. But I think that he believes that he either is, or can be an ace, which is why he's so excited for free agency. My point is that having games like these inflate his ERA is not going to help his cause in the offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eminor3rd Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 29, 2015 -> 12:55 PM) Actually his second half in 2013 was pretty awesome. I don't know why he upsets you so much. His second half was so good, it propelled him to 0.4 fWAR for the year. The 0.1 fWAR he's earned this year by starting off awesome is sitting on the back of a FIP almost exactly two runs higher than his ERA, a 68% (!) GB rate, and a 90% (!!!) strand rate. That isn't just unsustainable, that's impossible. No man, it's still a terrible contract that we should be thrilled not to have. It's ok to be wrong about a guy. I'll eat crow on clamoring for Saltalamacchia all day, for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whisox05 Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 29, 2015 -> 02:11 PM) The White Sox have also played 3-4 less games than most of MLB, which is about 15 to 20% less games. And read my stats on the 2 teams that played only 2 more games one of which is Baltimore which is at least top 10 in offensive categories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason we even scored was because of an error and we are still down 5 That's what I thought. 2 runs thanks mostly to an error. Offense looks as bad as ever.

Connor is my least favorite player and I have been following davidson since we aquire him and really like what he brings to our lineup if we give him a shot.

Just because he is hitting over .240 in AAA doesn't mean he will be in the MLB, it would probably be much less.
