Eloy Jimenez: I'm Ready (Players' Tribune)
Chicago White Sox replied to Jose Abreu's topic in Pale Hose Talk
Kopech had nearly spent a full season in AAA and was coming off a seven game stretch in which he was probably the most dominant pitcher in minor league baseball. It would have been impossible to look him in the eye and tell him he needed start the 2019 season down in AAA. While Jimenez has been insanely good at AAA and is no doubt ready for the show, he’s had less than 200 PA’s down there. It’s far less egregious to keep him down there until mid April. Whether they actually go through with that I have no idea, but if you put a gun to my head I’d say he’s up August 30th. -
Remember, this is a guy who takes any random sample and argues it reflects future performance. See David Bote for reference.
-
Lol...nothing like the internet tough guy using the benefit of hindsight to call others stupid.
-
I mean, the biggest difference is he’s striking out an additional 3 batters per 9 innings in AA. Park factor should have nothing to do with that.
-
Ok cool, Fangraphs will need to eat some serious crow when they do their offseason list. And wasn’t their reliever comment only a few weeks ago? No idea how they came to that conclusion if they’ve been following the kid this year.
-
Can’t tell if serious.
-
You can only send so many guys below AA and Robert has a much stronger case to make the cut.
-
11 K’s for Cease.
-
A Kopech/Rodon/Cease trio could be pretty insane. And we have a ton of other interesting arms to fill up a staff. While Sale would be awesome, I’d still rather add a Machado or Arenado.
-
Yes I did...didn’t he ace two guys like that?
-
Cease is ridiculous. He doesn’t even have his best command tonight and he’s still dominating.

Luis Avilan traded to Phillies for Felix Paulino
Chicago White Sox replied to Sleepy Harold's topic in Pale Hose Talk
I’m not overly surprised by this return. When Avilan didn’t get moved in July, I figured there must not be much of a market. Moving him is still the right move, just to give our minor league lefties more opportunities. -

Alright, I ain’t staying another seven innings without Kopech pitching. -

No fucking way, I was sitting right in front of you. I saw that t-shirt and was going to ask you where you got that. That t-shirt is fucking awesome. We’ll be back after this rain delay. -

Has fathom complained about velocity yet? ? -
No, I’d rather have a 2nd round pick than Dedelow or Frost. If you’re talking about Rutherford, Adolfo, Gonzalez, etc. those guys are top 100/fringe top 100 and would not classify as a lottery ticket under any definition.
-
What shot does an A ball lottery ticket have at ever seeing the big leagues?
-
I think he’ll definitely makes Fangraphs top 100 list this offseason. Not sure about the other major publications. Didn’t someone mention that Keith Law really likes him?
-
They get a comp pick if he leaves, which is better than a few lottery tickets.
