Is there an exemption in the rules for Rule 5 exposure for guys with severe/long injuries? I think I remember that somewhere. Would help with Dunning and Burger and Adolpho perhaps.

I guess it is a balance as he is only seventeen and obviously a very different culture awaits in Arizona. Maybe better to bring a couple or if there are players in AZ he has played with it could help him assimilate. No idea his maturity, language skills, personality etc

Sheets ops for June is over .850

https://www.mlb.com/whitesox/prospects/stats/affiliates?date=06/30/2019 Some interesting pitching

Last year Kopech came up when he went thru struggles then was dealing. Not sure I have seen Cease straighten back out. If he is bad, I hope it doesn't hurt his confidence. I do not disagree he is probably the best option right now. I wouldn't mind Kubat at some point. Relatively soft tossing lefties have had success before.

Wow, looked back at the original post. Of 13 pitchers identified, 6 are currently pitching in our organization. Gio and Cease doing well, Lopez, Fulmer, Hansen, Guerrero all struggling. Three, Kopech, Dunning, and Rodon out for the season. Two, Stephens and Clarkin are out of the organization in non trades so we gained nothing for them. So as everyone pretty much agreed, You can't have to much pitching!

Prior to TJ surgery a torn UCL was a 100% career ender. I think the current stats are about 85% return though I am not sure if that is to their previous success rate or just back to MLB for some time. So 15% don't make it back. We have over six TJ guys so odds are one or more is toast statistically. The comment some come back stronger makes sense due to some fixing/rebuilding mechanics or no longer having a elbow that may at times give you twinges/pain you didn't really report or were managing.

See, all is not lost! Think how much harder it must be for Yankee fans to do this!

I believe he was with Cubs at the time but I remember a drunk Harry in a doubleheader second game started trying to pronounce the players names backwards beginning with grudz.

Nyls Nyman, Harry Chappas, Kevin Bell, guys who were supposed to be good but flamed. Solid guys I liked, (Bucky Dent, my fav as a kid), Jim Spencer super dead pull. Anyone remember Buddy Bradford, if Reggie Jackson was Mr October, Buddy was Mr April.

Sure but not like there are a lot of alternatives.

Interesting that Palka and Tilson played in both the AAA(before suspended) and MLB game. I double talked at first also.

With the way this day has gone with injuries probably making sure there wasn't a car or plane crash.

What a day.

Can't catch a baseball, he got facial breaks.........sorry after all this shitty news gotta try to laugh........this sucks........probably opens up some 40/25 roster spots by putting some of these on 60 day

If Glass does sign then only 15th rounder Caleb Freeman rhp hasn't signed out of top 27 picks. Pretty darn good and maybe he signs as I think he is listed as a signer per the future sox draft tracker so impressive. So while typing SH posts Freeman signs...Cool!

So if Glass is coming in at 200 that eats up 100k so that leaves a max offer of 127,525 to any of the remaining six. the 27,525 probably not enough to sway a high schooler. Oops wrong math. evidently 125k is the max before pool so 152,525 which below goes to Freeman

Guzman 16yo LHP hmmmmmmm. I missed that Albert Perez was promoted to A+ awhile back. 21yo LHP. One hr allowed in 2 years, sorry to curse him lol.

He's a bigga boy! Maybe the guy who subs at catcher/1b and primary DH is still in the minors?

Not defending him, but Hahn should be judged by all aspects of his job. Saying anyone can make those trades isn't true. Theo even said Hahn insisted on Cease and held out. Maybe someone else doesn't. If Alonso hit his career average he would have been an overpay but would have provided some L-R balance. If he catches on and does significantly better maybe being the recipient of all the Machado shit did affect him. He didn't ask to be here and man he fell off the cliff. Wish he had done well and been flippable, glad they cut bait.

It always is especially if they say "it's not about the money".

What I get on links is 2018 data. Is that what you wanted?

ptatc love your input here. I am also medical. Agree something is weird here seeing olden day pitchers go 300 innings and in the last ten years we are to the point 200 is becoming rare. Is it the off season rest as kids the elders got while working second jobs? Ala Andrews thinking year round throwing when young is a big factor. In Japan, I think they throw a lot more between starts, any studies on their rates of UCL that you are aware of?
