Lillian Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 (edited) McCann should have been credited with his second hit of the night. Rosenberg scored his bouncer to SS an error. That should have been a hit. We all think that McCann can't keep up this pace, but he just continues to have good at bats. I love his approach, taking some pitches to RF and choking up on the bat, with 2 strikes. The guy is a "keeper". He is so good behind the plate. I hope they can keep him, past next season.

poppysox Posted June 29, 2019 Share Posted June 29, 2019 Detwiler was the story of the night with only two runs and no walks to a powerful lineup. Has an assortment of pitches and throws everything for strikes. All on short rest. Want to see more of him. McCann & Eloy were also involved in fun moments.

Ricky said during the day that Moncada would be available to pinch hit if they really needed him. Also, that they are optimistic that he returns to the lineup tomorrow. All indications point it being a bad bruise on the knee that simply needed a couple of days for the swelling to subside. When that happens, it should be all systems go.

Because if you extend him now, you will be overpaying for his current performance. If you wait to see what he does next year, and his offensive numbers go back down to his Tigers levels, would you really want him for what you paid him when he had a .900+ OPS?

If you wait to see what he does next year, and his offensive numbers go back down to his Tigers levels, would you really want him for what you paid him when he had a .900+ OPS? Every contract carries with it the risk of a player getting injured, or having diminished productivity. It's the challenge of the front office to assess the likelihood of any player's future level of performance. McCann was considered a pretty good prospect, out of college, and has made some significant adjustments to his hitting approach, this season. Some of us wanted to extend him earlier. Every month that he continues to excel, establishes his bonafides. Now he has been selected to the All Star team. It would probably cost more to extend him now, than it would have just a month ago. In the final analysis, perhaps the Sox just need to determine if they think they would like to have him continue as a key member of their future core. If so, then they should be trying to extend him beyond next year. I'm sure that Hahn would point to his unsustainable BABIP, as part of his negotiating tactics. If the front office deems the cost too high, they may not be able to sign him. I personally don't think that it's too early to try. For my part, it's his catching ability and leadership qualities, that intrigue me the most. He doesn't have to be the team's highest average hitter to be a solid part of the anticipated contending roster. If he can hit around .280, with a .350 OBP and respectable power, that would be enough to plug the hole, at one the most important key positions. Again, as a fan, I consider him a "keeper" and I'd love to have him be the primary catcher to handle the Sox young pitching staff. When Kopech, Cease, Giolito, Lopez and whomever else they add to the rotation, are on the mound, McCann is the guy I want to be calling the pitches. Collins may develop into a good catcher, and having McCann as his mentor, probably increases the prospect of that happening. However, I would be very surprised if Zack will be able to provide what James does, any time soon. And remember, that window of contention should be opening soon, in fact just about the same time that McCann will become a free agent.

A week or 2 ago I was thinking the only thing better would be if he started hitting a few more homers and poof !, he started hitting more HR's. Not only that but his dramatic turnaround is giving people hope that Engel could someday turn it around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we wait and he has another all star year next season, we will have to pay more, but it would be worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you suppose he will get, if he continues to have this kind of year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
