I’m going to defend the fans at the game a bit. The news breaks suddenly in the middle of the game. They are all there. I’ve been at Sox games (the Todd Frazier trade night) where stuff breaks, it is an actual game of telephone. Service sucks, and you are getting rumors left and right. Im glad luck is doing what’s right for him and his family, but I don’t blame a fan who may have thought he just made this announcement casually in the middle of a game and didn’t understand the sequence or cause behind it.

Yes, possibly. W-S by year 3 with a hope he splits that with time in Birmingham makes a lot of sense.

Well, we can use Spencer Adams as our lone proxy recently. Year 2 was Kanny and finished up a months worth of starts in W-S. I’d be shocked, even if he was dominant, if more than two levels was feasible given IP buildup.

That is just unbelievable

Man really tried to make it to this game but got too parented up today.

He has an opt out after 2019 too

Guzman went 1. Basically 50 IP this year. Very excited for him to go stateside.

I would put odds of realmuto getting away from Phillies low.

Interesting, in DSL Jimenez started an inning and now Guzmán in. 1 IP, 1 ER, 2ks. I wonder how many innings he gets.

Cease just an easy 97 mph at the top of the zone.

He swung so hard tho

Off the bat I thought that was way gone.

Logan Glass homer. maldanado been hitting the ball a bit, having a better year 2.

Yeah if we buy a bat I want to get a real bat. But if we fail there it is rough not knowing how poor our DH floor could be again.

He had a higher wRC+ last year!

wRC+ is not position adjusted, but it would put him about 7th among qualified DHs, I lowered that a bit, but 10th among DHs of at least 300 PAs edit: I'm a bit confused by your question but the 120 wRC+ would slot him 7th, for OPS it would put him 8th.

I don't know of last time we had an 18 year old with an iso that high as an 18 year old in AZ. Funny enough it beats Courtney Hawkins who had a .129 iso in AZ . Hawkins k rate was only 23%, that's funny. Wish we had more industry hubub on him to know if there's some fatal flaw. He clearly faded last year and was on a terrible team. This year he's had a second wind in August. Interested to see if we get any info from the instructs games in late sept.

White Sox are 24th in OBP and 24th in wRC+. They have gotten -3.5 WAR from their DH but luckily they traded a wRC+ of 120 player because his iso just straight up would not have worked.

It is so weird how people act like this is a thing. - No reason castillo needed to be on team, he was bad and left team out to try after signing him to a contract - No reason the team couldn't upgrade bullpen without trading Narvaez The reason you give up on Narvaez would be if you thought his bat was the issue, but he has now posted back to back years with a 120 wRC+. That beats our 1b, that beats our DH, and it beats the last several years of DHs. He has a high obp, his bat can handle the lower .iso - because he was cheap and under control. A 1.5-2 WAR LH hitting player that can play catcher and is plus offensively would be valuable. The team needed a "defensive" catcher for their pitchers, they chose Castillo over Narvaez, not McCann over Narvaez.

Bird in the hand

In the most expensive league I'm in that I never do well in, it has incredibly sticky keeper options and I somehow always end up picking 12th in the draft (3rd year in a row). I feel like regardless of math getting 12th pick in a keeper league ends up putting you at a disadvantage, and it puts me on tilt to always feel like I need to draft for high variance players to find a cheap keeper and ruins my drafts.

I was wondering what happened, and kinda weird how they only display 5 catchers and two are Zack Collins and Seby Zevala.

his defense isn't that different than wellington castillo and is a 120 wRC+ player. The blind hatred of narvaez on this board reminds me of when people hid under their pillows and said "no actually tatis is bad! He strikes out as a 19 year old in AA!", "no semien will never be able to stick at SHORT" As a left handed counterpart to james mccann he would have been a good addition who can also provide his bat (currently better than any DH/1B we have). Narvaez does not need to make that much of an improvement to smooth out value. Certain posters think that means he will improve to become elite, and that's not what people are saying. It may take time but he just has to marginally upgrade his worst tendencies to be playable as a part time catcher.

dsl ppd.

Yeah I ended up with Kamara and then aaron jones and damien williams. Bell was paid as an RB1 in our league. I missed out on getting ingram but got a little flex with justice hill. I wanted some part of baltimore run game in case it is very stable points week to week. WR I messed up on. Went in sure I'd give what it took for Julio jones but when I paid for kamara I freaked out about being able to get enough RBs. Ended up with Hill as my WR 1 but I am not deep at WR and just hope I can play waivers and find a surprise.
