They sure as hell aren't just looking at batting average and home runs.

Do you ever look up what you are talking about? From 2016 to 19, Mazara ranked 20th in HRs by a RF. He ranked 29th in BA. He ranked 39th in OBP. Even cherry picking the best portion of his career, and his best stats,he is a replacement level RF. He is a decidedly mediocre player. Your argument is faulty. Nothing of what you thought is actually true.

What if I told you those things were factored in, and over the course of a season single event anomalies equalize so that measure can be taken that which gives a much clearer view than an eye test which is neither comprehensive nor unbiased.

Well when you put it like that... No, Ozzie is not a candidate to manage the White Sox.

No. /Thread

Maybe you should take a look at the stats. If you run a fangraphs on RF for 2017 to 2020 Nomar Mazara doesn't rank in the top 50. In fact he ranked 53rd. Even if you narrow to oWAR only, he still isn't in the top 50. Hell Daniel Palka ranks ahead of him at #77, as does Charlie Tilson at #87, and Ryan Cordell at #100. In fact Nomar Mazara comes in 2nd to last at 112 of 113 offensively during that time frame. Even if you rerun it without his disaster of a 2020, Mazara comes in at 58 of 113. EDIT: Even if you want to look at the traditional stats, Marara has never hit .275. .266 is his career high. He has carried and OBP in the .320 range. He's hitting a homer about every 30 PAs, so it isn't even like he has been selling out for the long ball or something. He is a decidedly mediorce player with a ton of potential the Sox were hoping would break out. It didn't happen, and he isn't getting an arbitration offer.

Funny you ask that. Go read up on what the far east has done economically since they had a full shutdown and reopen.

The Rangers are looking to cut 50 million in payroll. Kluber has had injuries the last two years, and has a 1 million dollar buyout on a 17.5 million dollar option. My guess is that he gets bought out and signs for something like 1/10 on a prove it contract.

This is probably the thing that angered more thsn anything during the rebuild. I don't know if deals fell through or a Cuban didn't come through (maybe they projected Colas earlier?) , or if they really did go cheap, but this can't happen.

He won't be making nearly as much money in 2021.

This series has been on free TV.

Was just looking at the potential free agent list and saw Kluber sitting with a team option. #1, after essentially not pitching in 20, plus Texas looking to cut salary, he won't get picked up right? #2, What is the status of his injury, and is he worth a look in 21?

Hes put up negative fielding numbers every year of his career.

If people are interested in what White Sox pitching development sounds like today, give this a listen.

Crochet wasn't optioned this year.

If this is a real thing, it probably means bad news on Cespedes and Colas, at least for this year.

Yeah here we go.

Apparently he has said that 36 of the last 54 days.

YOu only get an opt out if a team is willing to agree to one.

Actually that isn't true. Before this season Mazara was a bad defensive RF and a barely below average hitter. The hope was he would have a break out year, and not a breakdown.
