I like Lee’s tools, Hackenberg’s D, and Michael Turner is shockingly underrated, but Quero has something special in his all-around game. He’s just really savvy. Does a lot to help a club win. I meant the Sox are waiting to cut Yaz until Seby is back rather than going with Lee + Perez in the meantime. Wouldn't be surprised at all to see the Sox option Lee back when Seby is ready, tho.
August 24, 20232 yr Seby would need to be the best defensive catcher of all time to put up with 34 wRC+. He is not blocking anyone and should be gone.
August 24, 20232 yr Carlos Perez pop time is 1.99 while he was up, while the mlb average is 2.0. While his arm is weak, he has a top 10 exchange time.

August 24, 20232 yr I can't imagine keeping Yaz and optioning Lee when Seby comes back. Who cares if it's Seby and Lee the rest of the way? Of course, they could have a mule in the front office right now just stomping it's hoof to make decisions. "Okay, should we bring Lee up? Once for yes, twice for no." *One stomp* "Alright. Send down Perez, one stomp. DFA Yaz, two stomps." *One stomp* "Are you sure?" *Blank stare* "I mean, is there a reason to keep Yaz? He's -" *Stomps wildly while hee-hawing loudly* "Okay! Okay!"
August 24, 20232 yr Been what 3 wks since we acquired Lee? Thats plenty of time to ruin a good prospect

Despite slower pop time, his 1.95 pop time to second is in the group with Christian Vazquez and Austin Hedges. But to put it in perspective, JT Realmuto is 1.83 seconds to 2nd, and Patrick Baily is 1.87. Those dudes are hell on the base runners.

Worth a waiver claim for a team that has Seby Zavala and about to lose Grandal?
August 24, 20232 yr I was Patrick Bailey-curious his draft year. What a weird ride it's been for him. Blocked and off to a rough start offensively, suddenly it's Bart who's blocked. Baseball, especially prospects, is so unpredictable.

The 100F weather could be a factor tonight as well. Colas July: Played 19 of 21 games since his July 4th call up. August: Played 17 of 20 games, I believe intentionally benched a game or two due to poor defensive decisions. Sosa Played all 6 games since his August 18 callup, started all but one (played the final four innings the final game in Colorado).

August 24, 20232 yr Korey Lee has played in 186 games in AAA, the league that sits below the majors. He's 25. This isn't the 20 year old in AA guys.
August 24, 20232 yr Grifol is clueless. The kids need to be playing and the washed up vets need to be selling hot dogs in section 145.
August 24, 20232 yr Here is me being charitable It feels like there was a lot of guys who played yesterday sitting today, and yesterday was a day game in 100 degree heat.
August 24, 20232 yr Lol who the hell called him up? Himself? Jerry doesnt even know these guys' names.

August 24, 20232 yr I think the plan is to have this guy as the starting catcher next year, and until Quero is ready. Might as well see what he's got now, and identify things to work with him on before next year. Or if he's absolutely terrible, at least they find out now and can start targeting other catchers to bring in for next year.
