Hatchetman

These 30 year old slugger free agents seem to fall off a cliff with their new team most of the time.

QUOTE (ChiSox59 @ Nov 3, 2017 -> 05:25 PM) Sox claim Daniel Palka from Twins. 26 YO 1B/OF. Numbers are nothing special. 34 Homers in 2016?

QUOTE (iamshack @ Sep 3, 2017 -> 09:13 AM) I want to see him start lifting the ball a bit more...imagine the damage he could do with his exit velocities if he got the ball if he increased his launch angle. I don't want him to change anything. He's finally doing something that works.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Aug 25, 2017 -> 02:15 PM) Bone contusion is not the correct term. It really should be the stress reaction terminology. But I think that will scare too many people. Didn't Tilson have a stress reaction?

Are SBs really essential to his DSL experience?

Not sure how to max Kopech WAR given expected TJS.

Your aunt can be whatever she feels like.

DL right oblique

If Davidson could play an average 3B he'd be a plus 1-2 WAR player.

They were a mediocre team. Not a championship caliber team. I thought it was a good trade at the time. Barcelo blew out his arm and Caruso turned out to be a head case. But the media created s*** storm made JR "go for it" every year for the past 19! What a mess.

somebody up thread said he doesn't have big power. Check out his highlights on MILB.com. when he hits them they are bombs.

That's more like it!

This guys got back problems too? Holy cow.

initial reaction is yuck. Would rather some 19 year old in low A.

QUOTE (oldsox @ Jul 1, 2017 -> 04:22 PM) Ynoa is consistent. Rick Hahn's boy. The guy he insisted that Oakland give us along with Shark. They all suck. who do you want to run out there?

Funny when you scour the evangelical websites you find someone talking about religion. SHOCKING!

The more everyone else hates him the more I like him.

QUOTE (Lip Man 1 @ Jun 29, 2017 -> 02:01 PM) Time to move on...past time actually....and you can make that claim for about a half dozen other stiffs in the organization. Don't be so mean. I'm sure they are very nice boys who call their mothers every Sunday night.

Absolutely not.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jun 29, 2017 -> 10:02 AM) I hope they use it somehow. Gonna be tough to spend it all though without big $$ items. I'd be cool if they spent $3 million and traded away another $1.5 million. Yeah, spend, trade, whatever. Don't just pocket it.

Let's hope they spend the $4.75MM

He had a phenomenal year in 2012 in low A at the age of 19. Given his physical skills I can see that justifying a rating in the 50-60 range.

Time to move Guerrero up to AAA IMO.

QUOTE (Tony @ Jun 28, 2017 -> 08:49 PM) All things considered a good night for Rodon. Very good. Assuming his arm is OK tomorrow.

Quintana's stats should be adjusted b/c he doesn't get the advantage of facing Sox hitters.
