Chicago White Sox

Are we really using strikeouts as the end all be all? Go check Kris Bryant’s minor league strikeout rates. Moncada was rushed through the minors, his development will like take a little longer than expected. Let’s all give the kid some god damn time. He’s already shown significant improvement in July, which a loud group of posters here continue to ignore.

JFC Caulfield, neither kid is a finished product. They 25 & 23 years old FFS. People’s need for instant gratification here is infuriating.

Looking through this in more detail and they still don’t have Ian Hamilton & Jimmy Lambert on the list. While this is a vast improvement over their pre-season list, there’s still some big misses

Lol...what? Moncada & Anderson can’t be the answers in the middle infield? Do people here honestly think before they post this garbage? Anderson has improved his BB & K rates this year while improving his power. He’s providing positive value in the field & on the bases. The only thing holding him back a bit is a BABIP a good 40 points below where it should be. This has been a fanatic year for Tim. As for Moncada, he showed significant improvement in July. 14.8% BB rate & 25.9% K rate. He was able to maintain a pretty good ISO of .176. All this was good for a .750 & 108 wRC+. Given his .295 BABIP, those numbers could have been a little better with some more luck.

Oh I agree, just thought it was funny he was the exact last of 65. A little more concerning is Frare coming in at 65, but I’m not sure how much stock to put in their assessments on fringier prospects.

Fangraphs rated this guy the worst of all prospects moved at the deadline.

That’s my hope as well. Let’s give him an offseason to adjust his swing before we all panic.

Seems like the Blue Jays did real well here given the circumstances.

Impressive that Duvall has triple the WAR with triple the playing time! Isn’t misusing counting stats fun?!

What exactly is your complaint here? I’m not sure what he said that draws your hate.

lol...Hitler, Stalin, KW

Lol...that should hold him down until April mid of next year!

Because of one bad night? His wRC+ is like in the top three in the entire league and he’s actually age appropriate. I’m far more worried about his ability to stick behind the plate based on the most recent scouting reports.

As crazy as it sounds, I expect more than a .830 OPS from Eloy with the juiced ball.

Jimenez one hit away from that final “hit .400 in AAA” checkbox!

Rough night for Collins & Basabe.

The real question is what goober keeps applauding his male chauvinism posts.

Wow, thank god for bad base running or Cease would have given up a run or two that inning.

I think those guys are overworked or something, because I normally find myself aligned with their views for the most part, but their Sox top prospects list was outdated and quite frankly embarrassing. Cease has serious fucking helium and all you need to do is watch him pitch to see it.

I just don’t see how Hahn can keep him down. Even with Kris Bryant the kid was K’ing 30% of the time. Jimenez has simply been too good for this “hasn’t checked off all boxes” comment to hold weight much longer.

The Sox farm is having a bad year? The injuries have sucked, but overall this has been a fantastic year. The only guy who has really fallen off is Hansen and it’s way too early to write him off. The Sox are clearly top three with the Padres & Braves IMO.

If the Rays are demanding Tatis or Gore, I would definitely position Rodon as a slightly cheaper alternative. Would still require a haul and a couple of their next tier of prospects.

Burdi, Hamilton, & Johnson all have incredibly high ceilings. Those are the guys to watch to see if the strategy works.

I still think the Sox make two moves before the trade deadline. One will be a trade of Avilan or Cedeno for a middling prospect. The second will be a bit of a surprise move. That could be any of Abreu, Avi, Leury, Carlos, Fry, or Rodon getting traded.

Must bring up attendance in every thread possible...
