chitownsportsfan Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Covey is a perfect tank commander in the rotation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox59 Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Mar 29, 2017 -> 02:38 PM) Covey is a perfect tank commander in the rotation. If it were up to you, you'd run out a rotation of Shields, Holland, Covey, Beck, and Danish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 Maybe Covey is throwing on the side now. This may be a minor league game by the 6th, with the rest of the team heading to the airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 Collins walk, Jake Peter homer. 9-9 in the 8th of this minor league game. Abreu got 4 ABs. He must have wanted them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 (edited) Did anyone actually see how Basabe looks as a hitter in terms of his stance and approach? That was his PA, right? Edited March 30, 2017 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was his PA, right? He has looked solid from the left side. His swing righty in the 9th was as ugly as possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 (edited) So we might have another Jose Valentin situation on our hands...well, if Basabe has 85% of the career, it's still a huge win for the Sox because of his speed and defensive tools. Fwiw, 816 OPS career against righties and 598 against lefties (Valentin). Hit: Left-handed, stands slightly open with slight crouch. Has a small leg lift. Keeps hands in good position to hit. Pull approach. Right-handed, stands more square to the plate and crouched. Short stride; hands in good position to hit. Plus bat speed from both sides. Left-handed swing appears more advanced; more length in swing from right side. Very aggressive early in counts; first-pitch swinger; wants to hit. Poor pitch recognition leads to lots of swing-and-miss; will improve with experience. Still in the early stages of developing an approach, but will take a walk if the pitcher doesn’t give him anything. Potential fringe-average hit tool.
