Possibly, would take a incredible leap in his batted ball profile. I'm with @JUSTgottaBELIEVE I see an OPS around 900. Getting to Yelich level is something few ever do, if Eloy does it next year he'd be on a path to be one of the greatest hitters of all time. Maybe he can put up a 170 wRC+ in his prime but I don't see it next year. Crawl, walk, run.

He literally has light tower power. There's been some contact issues but the ball explodes off his bat when he makes contact. I'd expect him to get a BABIP boost as well next year. He should be rocking a BABIP higher than 297 (maybe around 310 next year) and that will give him a nice boost on his BA.

Really feel like that stinger on his elbow cost him about 20 points of OPS, oh well, if he can finish over 800 that sets him up nicely with a solid rookie year and should be able to build on that next year and get into the 280/330/540 range.

At least we aren't the Mariners folks.

It would take an AAV around 25 million and a number starting with "3" on the total amount. Not happening in our wildest dreams.

Would be "on pace" for about 7 fWAR if he didn't miss about 35 games. Still is going to finish over 5 unless he absolutely craters over the last 3 weeks. 21st in MLB in fWAR at the moment and t30th in wRC+.

Yoan: .307 .363 .539 137 wrc+ wow.

wow 106 on that for moncada, guess he's ok from the right side.

I love the mariners they make the Sox look like a halfway competent org. Yoan is such a stud.

That's a bad idea because the draft pick is fool's gold and that AAV is 200% too high even at 1 year. Teams will just wait like they did this year until after the draft to sign him. And Jose and his agent know that. Oh, I see you just posted that as a follow up. This is the most obvious team friendly low ball scenario imaginable. Offer him 1 year, 1 option year. AAV around 9-11 million. He won't get better than that on the open market.

I'll be at one of the games front row behind Sox dugout calling for Rickie to be shitcanned. Can't wait.

He's played himself out of anything other than a super sub role. His 2nd half has been a bummer.

He's put up almost 9 bWAR in 4 seasons and is still young enough to where a breakout is possible. He's lefty and can play RF a position of obvious need. The comparison would be Adam Eaton if you want to somehow link it to previous Hahn moves.

Engel now has a higher OPS (644) than Yolmer (641) yikes.

is palka going to set the record for lowest BA ever for more than 100 PA?

We should be looking to trade for him this offseason.

The guy with an 890 OPS is bunting. Rickie you are a real piece of work.

Hate is a strong word and one I don't like to use but I"m approaching that with Rickie.

wow, not every day you see a record like that broken, congrats gio!

lol, I threw you the softball.

Careful you can't dare point out that there's more to player value than RBIs and HRs without the peanut gallery coming to white night him.

Yoan wants that 5 fWAR. He can taste it.

On the 2002 White Sox maybe.

overall team defense this year has just been bad to mediocre instead of horrendous. Baby steps. It helps having Moncada and Yolmer in the lineup every day as both are plus defenders at their positions.

If Moncada ups his walk rate to like 13-15% he's going to be insane.
