June 20th Game Thread: White Sox @Minnesota Twins

Featured Replies

Davidson is now rocking the hallowed ISO over .300. I love that, one of my favorite stats. A true slugger. Power for days. He also almost has an OPS of 900. Wow.

He's getting squeezed.

This is a fun team for a rebuild imo.

Eh, there's a reason these guys are 4th/5th/6th starters on good teams.

483 foot homer

Holland is nibbling and can't get the close calls. He is forced to come in and gets hammered. He gives up too many long balls. We now trail 6-4

Davidson *only* being 13th in ISO (min 50 PA) is another example as to why I think the ball is juiced. Also, kind of crazy with all his power he only has a 128 wRC+.

Regression has finally caught up with Holland.

Holland is a flyball pitcher. He was a bad match for the Sox from the get go. With all the home games left and warm weather, his ERA will only grow.

Good rebuild loss.Holland sucks we weren't getting much for him in the first place anyway.

Yep you were all over it. Probably a big career mistake by him not taking the Pirates offer.

Guess the only starter that gets traded is Pelfrey...and maybe Q.

 

That was the nail in the coffin.

Not sure how much more rope you give these guys. At this point they're not getting you anything of value in a trade and they're not really eating innings either. Hopefully Rodon & Lopez are called up in the near future, so we can finally move on from these two.

$$$ or pride. Or maybe prefers AL. Who knows? Logic says a park like SD or Pitt would work better. Even Minnesota...

Guys, I know the ball is juiced, but we have a decent middle of the order already.

 

Maybe a rebuild but this team has been competitive

This year's Latos. Agree on the good potential loss, be nice if Timmy can do something productive

He hasn't drawn a lot of walks this season and OBP is more valuable than SLG.

Who the hell is trading for Pelfrey?

I think he makes an interesting long reliever. Obviously won't bring back much

Yea if he starts taking more walks, lookout. I'd love to see him finish like 260/330/550. Pitchers are going to start nibbling if he keeps this up.

Holland, Pelf, Migo and Shields are like the four guys you package in the older (and easier) OOTP games where the computer confuses four AAAA guys for one "A" prospect as a solid trade.

 

They fixed that in like OOTP 16 so somehow I think the return in the real world won't be anything either.

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jun 20, 2017 -> 07:27 PM)

Anyone who needs rotation depth/experience and willing to surrender C/C- level lottery ticket...minimum salary, etc.

 

Same reason Swarzak will draw some interest. Not taking on salary, not giving up anything of significance.

Teams in pseudo-contention mode like the Angels are starting guys I've never heard of. Pelfrey would be an upgrade
