I am intrigued but there is a long way to go from high A to MLB. I certainly would rather guys perform well than not!

Burdi started but only went 2/3 of an inning and ten pitches. Hope nothing wrong, any word???

Laz Rivera three run hr for the Dash. .309. Thanks for the bumps!

I am in no way affiliated with southsidesox but they put out a story on Melendez today if anyone is interested. Also, I know it shouldn't matter but please get my votes off of 13, it creeps me out. Tristadecaphobia! https://www.southsidesox.com/2018/8/4/17649910/under-the-radar-cristofer-melendez-dsl-former-astros

Check out the line Name IP H R ER BB SO HRA Outs BF NP ERA Cristofer Melendez 6.0 4 0 0 0 11 0 18 20 43 1.65 He is 20 so kinda old but looks to have really turned a corner this year. To late to bring stateside?

Robert 1-4 have to admit, I cringed when I saw he stole a base.

Not sure I see them protecting Danish, yet constantly leaving Lopez and Giolitto go to long and spoil good efforts.

dumb dedumb dumb

Pull him. Let outing be positive and give reliever opportunity to have no one on base.

Did he get hurt?

Hi y'all. Been away with the wife for her birthday. https://www.mlb.com/whitesox/prospects/stats/affiliates http://www.milb.com/scoreboard/index.jsp?cid=&lid=&org=145&sc=&sid=milb&t=affiliate&ymd=20180803

Perhaps pitch framing metrics differ from dwar which show up as positives for him.

WAR of 2.4, 2.6 , 3.6, and 3.8 so far this year! 27 years old. this to me is exactly the kind of guy you target. .311/ .361/ .531 and positive metrics on defense. I believe not a free agent till after 2021 or am I wrong. if after 2020, I would reconsider unless extension agreed upon.

Thats why I was doing a quantity over single (preferred by Nats) high ender.

Would you get involved on Realmuto? They were asking for Robles and Kieboom from Nats. Evidently willing to give one not both. Collins, Rutherford and Adams? More?

They are valuing him like an ace and I don't see it. Increasing ERA for several years and decreasing WAR. 4.0, 2.1, 1.3 and .5 this year.

Are you envisioning Avilan, Ceddeno and Gomez being traded? Don't think all would be. I agree on most of your removables. I think Tilson as a CF to avoid rushing a prospect gets half a year, Rondon as one of few ready middle infield depth and maybe Palka hang. I think you could get something for Smith as a backup catcher in the off season. Cordell gets Sept to prove something. I would probably keep Ruiz. Clarkin?

Zavala catching after catching last night so must be healthy.

Zavala back from DL. was 1-4 last night.

Will need to be protected on 40 man if does well. Hence if he is not injured and pitching well, I think we will see him this year.

Tommy John in 2012. Missed 13 and 14 seasons. Improved command this year. I found mid 90's fastball, good slider, and flashes a change up. Previously lefties gave him trouble and now excelling vs them. On July 6 lefties hitting .182 and righties .179 Said to be able to go multiple innings. Guess AAA to start. September call up if doing well?

He had just been promoted to AAA. Very high walk rates until this year where something may have clicked.

Banks 26 LHP having his best year. Old, but becoming a prospect? Parke 23 yo LHP having a good year esp for a 2017, 21 rounder.
