Winner thread. I saw 4 innings. Eloy Tim Naldo Bummy

Brad hand has an elite k rate and has had it for years. That elite unhittability and consistency is why you give up a Mejia.

Pretty impossible it sounds like without top ten money

I got a push notification for at bat, with the seven top relievers on the market. Colome wasn’t on it. A common thread: all relievers with high k rates and cheap. Colome is going to be on the discount track for teams.

when looking for gladney I found this incredible display of his power

So like no games today

And between the velocity and strikeouts, the only thing you could quibble with sustaining is his two pitch mix, but When his changeup is this good...

Thought same.

Most white Sox looking fan ever right there

NVM

McCann CAN

He and McCann are now basically toying with the royals. The more they see him the less they know.

It focuses on a series of players such as Trevor Bauer and their use of targeted training to improve, The hitting coach of JD Martinez, Driveline, rapisodo tech, the astros and I believe the Rays. Its not really a survey around the league. More of how advances are changing the league as analytical scouting once did, and the history of it

Great job getting stuff on the 12th rounder out of PR. Hostetler said he had 80 speed and Sox had him at their workout and liked him. Was by far the least known with next to nothing about him online. His academy though has produced big league talent including Heliot Ramos (still a prospect)

2 out of 40 seems reasonable.

Me neither. I think a true contender would consider Colome a supplemental arm, one that builds up your 7th/8th dominance. If I’m giving up a top prospect the closer would need to be performing well and have a k rate closer to 35% than 25%

So hire him as a GC. That he has more information than a fan and comes to worse conclusions, consistently, is not impressive. We have a great tool to evaluate him, we can compare him to his peers, who have remarkably similar circumstances.

Doesn’t mean he wasn’t good.

Because age is a thing, he is a player with established production, and you are talking in retrospect about signing two of the more successful free agents who were 32 and 33 years old. If you are constantly buying free agents for their next year of production when they are 30 plus, you are going to end up with a substantial part of your budget on declining players who may turn into pumpkins all at once.

Machado would have been good for 6-7 years. There is a reason people prioritized him. Trying to get a productive next year on the second tier market in free agency is walking in a mine field.

That theoretically should help the sox. I know, I know, Robert, but by and large they were ceding ground to the other orgs in international and allowed themselves to get muscled out.

Joakim Soria was good.

I would do it regardless, tbh.

This dude is in his second year of DSL, is 19, had decent k rate last year but lots of walks, this start today was great: http://www.milb.com/player/index.jsp?sid=milb&player_id=679363#/career/R/pitching/2019/ALL Luis Rodriguez, 7 ks in 5ip 1 BB

If they offered Haseley I'd take it.
