He and Tanner McDougal seem to possess the two best arms in the low minors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac9001 Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Something about Fox's fastball just looks odd to the naked eye. Just doesn't move like you would expect a fastball to move and he has a super short dart throwing motion. I can only imagine how it must look to a hitter.

This isn't a case of a guy going to a new level and playing horrifically. He had a disappointing year last year, but it was nothing like this. So you know it's not a case of him hitting a wall that he doesn't have the talent to break through (in the sense of: we know he has the talent to strike out less than half of his plate appearances in AAA). If you buy that, then the question is why the huge regression? Health? Yips? Some other kind of mental issue? Change in swing/mechanics/etc.? Hard to see from my perch here on the internet which of those things is going on. Things like a demotion could make some of those problems worse while potentially fixing some others. As for Teel, I'm not pushing the panic button. But this is why you put him in AAA rather than break with the team. You're going to get scouted and people are going to try to exploit your weaknesses. See if he can work through it. His brief time in AAA last year was just so-so anyway. Quero is a similar case and similar reasoning for keeping him in AAA to start the season, but you can see how his game was always bound to be a bit less boom or bust. But he may well see his numbers decline soon too (if he keeps up the 1.000 OPS for very long, I guess we'll find out just how patient the Sox plan to be). You're a breathe of fresh air.

BigHurt3515 Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Are we ever going to have a big time hitting prospect who actually succeeds through the minors and in the majors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chitownsportsfan Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 8 hours ago, fathom said: It just seems Colson has had a real issue with the improved command in AAA. He’s still selective, but he’s falling behind in counts and/or taking strike 3. He has too much swing and miss in his game to keep falling behind. Also, I’m sure other teams know he struggles with velocity up in the zone. Looking a lot like Yoan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(18.9 total fWAR with the White Sox) Robert, especially for two seasons, 2000 and 2023 (12.4 total fWAR). Burger, depending upon your opinion of him. Not exactly a great testament to your system with Romy Gonzalez might be the 4th/5th biggest big league contributor on the position player side...obviously Moncada is Top 5 due to fWAR/bWAR but still not worth the return on investment overall. Or Nick Madrigal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
