FanGraphs/Logenhagen usually goes with the 90th percentile exit velo, but yeah I think it was mentioned that it was something like 102/103 for Kwan last year. Kwan also hit 12 HRs last year which is 8 more than Madrigal hit in his minor league career. Kwan's ISO was right around .200 in both AA and AAA last year and Madrigal's .120 last year in MLB was his highest at any level in pro ball. Law does seem skeptical that Kwan can play CF though so I agree with the overall argument that high average, low power LF could be considered a borderline top 100 prospect and a similar player at 2B couldn't be.

Given the age distribution here the state of the game threads is even more embarrassing.

How is it possible that a team other than the White Sox signed someone to a "Basically stay healthy" deal? What is even our identity anymore?

Kyle Nicolas is probably more of a reliever prospect at this point, but he would be among the best pitching prospects in the Sox system. That isn't nothing for a backup catcher.

His results finally outproduced his peripherals! Don't ask me about his peripherals.

White Sox not even sniffing around on Gausman at that price is so disheartening.

Possibly drum up interest from the league without having to go around asking specific teams if they are interested. If you get more than one team biting then maybe you don't have to eat salary to move him.

We really need a hand wanking react.

But guys, Kimbrel wanted to stay in Chicago.

Now it is not telling me I need to subscribe, but it is instead telling me I need to be on my home wifi. Not a lot of good since I'm at work. Very cool MLB.

Does anyone who doesn't normally get MLB Network currently have access to it? The supposed free-trial is not working for me when I try to stream the channel through Comcast.

They are! https://www.sportsvideo.org/2021/10/07/mlb-postseason-2021-fox-sports-to-televise-all-playoff-games-in-4k-hdr-megalodon-to-make-playoff-debut/

I would be just fine with Keuchel being the designated weekday day game pitcher so I never have to watch him.

WHAT ARE YOU DOING BUBIC?!?! LUIS ROBERT CAN GO UPSTAIRS!!!

If Tatis didn't get traded away I have convinced myself that the White Sox would not have signed Luis Robert since they already had TA for SS and Tatis for CF. It still doesn't really make me feel any better.

Hopefully you've got your good stuff tonight Lucas. 20 Ks should suffice with that OF defense.

I wish

Not that this is breaking news or anything, but this is from Ken Rosenthal's latest notes column

Glad to see, just for my own sanity sake, that I have some fellow travelers in not liking this trade at all. I'll be happy to eat crow, but I just don't think this team is a Craig Kimbrel away from winning the World Series.

Dick Lovelady no less
