Look at Ray Ray Run

He has a 307 obp.

That's literally nothing in the world of defensive metrics. One full season is volatile and tough to draw any conclusions from let alone 200 innings

The pop isn't sustainable either imo. If you wanted pop and a low obp should have gotten escobar.

Because on a total package value basis this year they're similar players? One is on a 2.5 per 600 pace the other a 2.2 per 600 pace. In a sample of 70 games, we're talking about replacing just a guy with just another guy. Cesar has a 307 obp with a hr/fb rats 7% higher than his previous career high.

Lol now we're doing ops vs teams above 500 for a guy with 300 pa's.

We'll just agree to disagree. I don't think this is a big defensive upgrade at all.

I dont care what we gave up, I care that this is a move that makes the bench depth deeper but does not guarantee an improvement to the starting group. And it's not a "very big upgrade" when from a total package value standpoint they've been similar players this year.

Lol a deep dive into what? The Sox replaced leury garcia as their starting second baseman with cesar Hernandez. It's not something you can tell me is a for sure upgrade which is incredibly disappointing

This is really the only decent angle is it gives them more depth. It makes their last man on roster a little better but the improvement to the starting grip is minimal at best.

On a per PA basis, leury garcia and cesar Hernandez are nearly identical in worth this year. ROS you're talking a projected difference of like .1-.2 fWAR. Garcia was your second baseman when Robert came back. This is hardly an upgrade.

I'm not a fan at all really. He's barely an upgrade over what we're throwing out there now

White sox acquire guy who is barely better than guy they're playing lol

Sox just making another trade and keeping it a secret for days! Amazing

LOL what player in the entire league is benched everyday? My comment was he would now be a bench player. Caufield, please stop making up nonsense. Thanks. Statistically Hosmer should not be playing 70% of the time lolol. He's the 2nd worst player in baseball. You crack me up.

Tell Parkman to give you your account back.

What BS numbers? You drive in runs by hitting with RISP. He has crushed the ball with RISP. You are bitching that Yoan hasn't come up with more RBI chances and blaming that, somehow, on Yoan. ?

LOL this is such a dumb post. Yoan Moncada is slashing 347/480/587 (1066 ops) with runners in scoring position. Somehow it is Yoan's fault that the Sox don't have guys in scoring position more often for his at bats. Yoan, why can't you DO BETTER than 1066 OPS with RISP you bum!?!?!?!

yeah, I hate players who are 27% better than league average offensively. BUMS!

edit: I think Seby managed the run down really well despite the runner getting to second. Not sure you can do anything there; faster route to the runner is running him back.

Benetti is honestly never ever right when he says things like "I thought live" such and such. Literally ever.

Which is my only beef with Jack - he acts like his pessimism is data driven, but in reality it's just nonsense made up in his mind that is constantly disproven and he just moves the goal posts to something else.

Just makes no sense, and he did that really dumb thing again where he pulled one of the outfielders for Hamilton and instead of putting Engel in RF he put him in LF. Take Vaughn bat out of the game, keep your worst defensive outfielder in right field instead of left and Leury hits again. lol

LOL Goodwin has a worse wRC+ than he did in 2019 and his wRC+ this year is only 4 POINTs higher than his career average. Leury Garcia has a worse wRC+ than LAST year, and the 3rd highest of his last 5 years. Billy Hamilton has 107 of the White Sox 3700! PA's and his wRC+ is only 5 points higher than his career average. Adam Engel has 75 PA's and is the only guy you listed that has a better wRC+ than they've had in their career. I've wasted way too much time entertaining your made up "facts".

Who, Jack? Abreu worse year in 3 years. Anderson worse than the past two years Moncada worse than 2019. Please tell me all these over performers. Hendriks blows! Jack was right!

Most teams that win titles never have any breaks go there way and certainly don't have any players over perform their career norms, got it. Another brilliant take. You can't even enjoy a World Series that was a no doubter with a dominant post-season appearance, so I guess we can stop pretending that if they won the title this year you would feel fulfilled. You'd likely just call it luck. I'm still waiting on you to explain how you smoke and mirror your way to the third best wRC+ despite not having 4 of your best bats.
