Just ran Todd Frazier's expected BABIP through a calculator and his xBABIP is .284. That would mean (assuming a similar split between types of hit, slightly weighted towards singles) a batting line of .264/.375/.546. That's a lot more of a valuable deadline piece than he looks now, simply attempting to remove luck.

Rutherford as well as hoping for Andujar.

I am lower on the Charlotte pitchers than most, but good god the Sox farm system is a juggernaut right now.

Yep, Rutherford.

Thinking Rutherford and Mateo fit Nightingale's description.

IT'S HAPPENING!

For Frazier and Robertson, sure

 

If Kahnle is involved as well im not as excited about a depth package

I'm talking about 4 or 5 guys like that. Fowler was a top 100 prospect before his injury. Mateo was a type 50 guy a year ago. Andujar & Abreu are both in the 100 to 150 range. That's a ton of talent IMO and something the Yankees can do because of their depth.

Soxtalk needs to now down and start worshipping hahn if we get Rutherford ++ package

Rutherford will headline the deal. Huge get, way beyond the type of player I thought they could be adding without dealing Rodon. If they can add Florial/Adujar/Mateo that would make it even better.

 

Sox have quite the nest of OF prospects

We suddenly have a lot of OF's

mateo not believed to be on list of prospects who'd go to chisox. CWS has shown interest in rutherford, clarkin, others.

f*** yeah!

 

Now what else?

Don't know how I feel about a Rutherford headliner. It's coolfor a DRob or Frazier trade, but including Kahnle too?

 

Kahnle is the guy you hold until 11:50 on trade deadline night for absolute pillaging.

Clarkin would make a ton of sense. I'll take that south paw.

Holy s***, Rutherford is a great get.

 

But gonna need like, three more names.

Clarkin would make a ton of sense. I'll take that south paw.

 

Rutherford + clarkin + what else??

Remember when Todd was a healthy scratch?

If it's a package of just lower level guys, I'm assuming Rutherford, Florian, Clarkin, and maybe one or two more

But luck has nothing to do with Frazier's crappy approach and swing. And his BABIP has been under .240 for 1000 straight AB's. That's not luck, that's called a trend.
