QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 21, 2017 -> 05:39 PM) He has no plate coverage on the outer half. Looked a lot like an at bat Avi had last year where he struck out swinging on 3 straight offspeed pitches a foot off the plate when everyone in the park could tell it was coming

QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 21, 2017 -> 05:36 PM) What a pathetic at bat by Anderson. Whole inning was really ugly after Davidson fouled off his foot, everyone swung at straight trash

He just seems to have really slow reflexes IMO, in every part of his game

26.0 K%, .666 OPS, .120 ISO, -21.9 UZR/150 ...... time to worry or no?

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Jun 20, 2017 -> 01:48 PM) Burdi has not earned a call up. Keep him in AAA this year. He has had a couple rough outings, 19 out of his 23 appearances show him with an ERA of 1.57, he has 11 of his 15 ER in 4 of his last 8 appearances so while that could be alarming it could also be chalked up to a real rough week for a young guy. I don't see an issue with seeing if he can get major league hitters out and possibly close for us next year. Jones has proven a bit too fragile to put into such high leverage situations every appearance IMO

QUOTE (bmags @ Jun 20, 2017 -> 12:02 PM) I also believe this but I don't really have good reasons for why it should work. Yeah our luck Kahnle would fall apart and Burdi would get shelled every outing but I'd like to have at least some faith that this strategy would work in our favor.

Engel looked like he at least had an idea last time I saw him. Didn't look like a superstar but I imagine his speed will contribute to a high BABIP and he looked like he had decent command of the zone

It'd probably be smarter to move Robertson & Swarzak at the deadline, slot Kahnle into the closers role to increase his off season value and call up Burdi to get some ML experience

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 05:35 PM) How'd the selection go over on here? Everyone overreact to a player they havent watched? Pretty sure everyone was so defeated after getting teased with Hasely that there was no energy to b****

6 runs and this hasn't cracked 1 page ha

Rogers looks like Sale almost

They mentioned the "arm bar" on mlb network.. comped his swing to Frazier which was pretty elite in the league for awhile IJS. Solid pick with a higher floor as a big HR/walk guy

Can't say I would mind having Burger and Beer on a couple jerseys at the very least haha

What were the knocks on him? Defense and body type right?

Bad f***ing year. Probably not even drafting a top 5 guy in our system

Yeah feeling like we got hosed pretty bad with how it turned out.

Wow so maybe Adell?

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 05:00 PM) My gut says Kendall. How would everyone feel if they took Kendall and somehow got him to sign below slot? Bad since our team hasn't been very strong at developing players with no hit tool

QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 04:59 PM) Hoping it either Bukauskas or Kendall. Not for our pick I hope?

I've always hated the god damn Phillies too. Curse them to another 10 years of s***ty play

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 04:56 PM) I'm more and more on the Hiura underslot bandwagon personally. That's also who I'm voting for now.

Just draft underslot at this point. s***ty draft this year

Philly taking their sweet time

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Jun 12, 2017 -> 04:51 PM) Smith. Hmm. Does Haseley make it past Angels? Phillies? Hopefully they're more interested in pitching

Oh wow no way. Gotta watch for Milwaukee now on Hasely?
