  1. Mazara is outhitting him right now...including the game-tying RBI in extras against the Cubbies yesterday.
  2. That said, Tim Anderson wasn’t far off experience-wise from most higher schoolers, with more time spent playing basketball than anything.
  3. BASEBALL OPERATIONS Dan Fabian begins his 30th season with the White Sox, 23rd in the baseball department and fourth as senior director of baseball operations. Fabian oversees the daily operation of the team s professional scouting efforts, including scheduling, communications and the development of the White Sox Scouting Portal, which features both amateur and pro scouting reports, statistical information and video clips The portal is used extensively by General Manager Rick Hahn in analyzing potential major league roster moves, trades and waiver claims. He also oversees the club s video coaching efforts, processing of advance scouting reports and general statistical research for the baseball department. This is from a media guide around 2015-16. Fabian hardly fits the image of a cutting edge, industry outsider. More of a JR loyalist who has adapted to changing times. Jeremy Haber went to Stanford, by the way. Exactly who one would expect Hahn to take under his wing, another version of himself...who perhaps is closer to NBA head coach Quin Snyder (law and MBA degrees) in background. As far as KW graduating, you can say the same thing about Tiger Woods, right?
  4. You’re not going to see me defending Hahn...
  5. It’s actually not that bad except for Eaton at 2, and and the ubiquitous presence of .500ish ops Leury. The problem is Madrigal’s not hitting well enough to be moved up. Then what, Vaughn or Mercedes there?
  6. I mean combining with Tatis, not a wholly separate thread, lol...
  7. Eaton and Garcia aren’t going anywhere...not until at least July or August. Hamilton should only be a PR, designated bunter and defensive replacement.
  8. A range of $75-$200,000 was the guess for actual investment or resources devoted to analytics/data collection and analysis itself...FYI.
  9. Amazingly insightful contribution...
  10. Twenty years of history, minus 2008. The Indians have four really good pitchers now....well 3 1/2 with McKenzie. Just not enough offense and Rosario hasn’t added much. Franmil Reyes the second biggest threat now, and Luplow.
  11. Indians trailing M’s 4-0 so far, but Sox are going to bring everyone back into the division fight if they go 2-4 or 1-5 in Minny and NYC next week...
  12. The surface of the track...unless they were wearing light body armor, lol.
  13. Twins had a huge, much-needed comeback win today as well. Might be teams with two game winning/losing streaks if this plays out according to typical Sox/Twins form the last two decades.
  14. Darn him for diving/hustling into first base...Stone of course noting that doesn’t get you there any faster.
  15. Benetti can’t judge anything off the bat...a unique knack Harrelson had until his last years in the booth.
  16. Why in God’s name is Rodon still in this game? Idiotic. Wouldn’t treat him this way with team control beyond this season.
  17. And leg it out with his 65 grade speed, lol? Yermin actually gets more infield hits.
  18. Madrigal might be advised to think of another area of the field to hit it to... He’s not Gwynn, Boggs or even Kruk yet.
  19. Someone basically lit himself on fire (aka self-immolation). Not sure if Pepsi-Cola was involved.
