Chicago White Sox

I think they will be a bit more aggressive with Vaughn because so many of the young pieces will already be up and they will be looking to compete next year. They were able to be a bit more patient with Madrigal and Robert to a lesser extent because this was a lost season.

And just so we can all chuckle at Jack’s overreaction a bit more, Vaughn has a wRC+ of 140 at W-S despite a .282 BABIP. He also has more walks than strikeouts.

Maybe it’s a good sign we were most connected to him & Vaughn.

Sorry fathom, but we can’t have two 1B with a Rendon comp and Gavin Sheets already has claim to it!

Lol...warning signs?

Another Collins bomb tonight.

I didn’t even realize it had been that long, which is even more reason not overreact to his DSL numbers.

So wait, he just missed one and then actually got one? Kid is a fucking stud.

His August BABIP is .333

I mean, he probably does suck based on his Cuban League numbers, but he was out for a while prior to this season, has a ridiculously low BABIP, and was always going to be a project offensively. Your expectations are way off here.

It’s not park adjusted, only league I believe.

Collins now 3/3 with a HR. Prior to tonight’s game, here are his stats since his demotion: 15.1% BB rate, 19.4% K rate, .227 ISO, .320/.430/.547/.977, .375 BABIP, 149 wRC+ Obviously that BABIP is running a bit high, but otherwise his numbers have really taken a turn for the best.

Sheets has a wRC+ of 145 since mid May and that’s playing half his games in one of the most pitcher friendly parks in all of the minors. He’s arguably been one of the best hitters in the entire Southern League this year, at least since his adjustment period.

The signing bonus was spread out over three years, but the Red Sox sent over cash to cover it all. We aren’t on the hook for anything but his current salaries.

Jack - Have you tried networking with anyone in the Chemical Engineering field? Have you looked at unpaid internships, if those exist? You’ve got to really think outside of the box, because no one is going to hand you a job when you’re in your mid 30’s with a complete lack of real job experience.

I’m not sure I understand what you’re saying, but Boston covered Moncada’s signing bonus and corresponding penalty. He’s essentially owed the minimum for us.

Guaranteed up-front money means it was already paid?

Lucas has a real shot at the single game strikeout record right now.

Lucas Giolito is a motherfucking ace...

Ok, done! Now how do I access this article?

Eloy walk!

Robert, Madrigal, Collins, Vaughn, & Walker all with walks early on.

Are you guys releasing individual rankings or doing a round table like you’ve done in the past?

Shoulder might be separating as we speak as Lucas just tossed two 93 MPH heaters in a row!?’

Oh I agree, I was just saying it’s not a great comp in terms of player style.
