This. Hell Keuchel at least has had past success. Still waiting on Mazara to get to even 2 WAR let alone 1 (I hope he does figure it out).

Not even close.

I think if the Sox would've gotten Wheeler, some people's stance here with the Mazara acquisition would've been more "meh, I don't care" variety.

Actually that was my mistake. That was his career numbers in general against us.

It's an interesting gamble based on his age and gap power. If he can somehow improve his barrel % and his launch angle... could be a homerun. Alot of ifs... but definitely not impossible.

One thing I will enjoy with Mazara out there is his arm. Dude has a very good arm. Not much on range, but the arm is damn good.

Has an opt out after 5 years.

To be fair, Engel is also like 3 and a half years older. I get your point though.

Not big news but just noticed Grandal changed his number. Will be 24, not 8.

I posted it already Badge, not sure if you saw. His gap power is very interesting to me.

I would be shocked if Timmy's wRC+ against righties is that high again next season.

Yes I know that. I just find it hilarious coming from you who usually sites batting average alot when evaluating players (as well as Ks and BBs)

For someone who likes basic stats, you should be salivating at the fact that Mazara's lowest batting average in the big leagues is .253 (Grandal's highest in his career is .247 not counting his sample sized '12 season).

Hawks best defensemen this season likely out a long time and this team is a dumpster fire. Sell high Stan...

They actually thought they should've gotten more! hilarious.

Oh and nice call on this one. @Moan4Yoan

Someone had to.

Texas just couldn't resist Steele Walker's Texas like name. Was hoping they'd like Gonzalez instead. Oh well. Hopefully he wakes up and mashes like Soler did.

He said Price to Angels right?

WOW.

Damn right.

Yes please.

Other than a couple of areas, he favors Tim Anderson in alot of ways. https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/tim-anderson-641313?stats=career-r-hitting-mlb

It was a replay of earlier, but yes.
