Have to imagine we'll start seeing Gonzalez on top 100 lists this offseason? The kid looks the part.

8/21 - Sox vs Twins, 7:10, WGN (Kopech Debut)
ChiSox59 replied to flavum's topic in 2018 Season in Review
My guess - Leury DL. Then tomorrow a Gomez DFA or Vieria option with Rondon or Tilson coming up. -
Don't we also need a b/u infielder? Rondon maybe? When Davidson is your b/u infielder, you've got some problems. Not that it really matters. I could see a Leury DL today for Kopech. And then maybe Gomez DFA or Vieira option and call up either Rondon or Tilson tomorrow.

Not really. May be a few sprinkles here and there but they’ll play this game delay free.
-
I'll be there. Go Sox!

Excited to watch him pitch in the bigs but the timing is curious. Not the move I would have made, but is what it is I suppose.

Heyman: Eloy/Kopech may not be promoted this year

In other news, water is wet. -
Except I doubt the Sox rid themselves of Davidson, Tilson, Engel, Smith and maybe even Danish.
-
Lol, I made the post days ago within minutes of the pitch. Yes Narvaez was positioned inside. Yes Rodon missed his spot. Yes the umpire blew the call. Yes the catcher who ranks near the absolute bottom in pitching framing in baseball could have caught the ball better. Moving along..

Did the Sox know he was going to need surgery or did this occur after the draft?

Rodon just threw a ball right down broadway for stike 3 against Candelario. Except Narvaez has no idea how to catch, so it was called a ball. HPB next pitch.- 90 replies

He's been awful in the sense that you clearly expected a former #1 prospect to be much more dominant at this stage in his career. But I've provided you the numbers. Based on pretty much any calculation of WAR, Moncada is on pace for 1.5-2 WAR season. That is very much an everyday regular and it isn't awful or a trainwreck. You just expected him to be great right away, so being a merely an average everyday regular early in his career is horrible in your eyes. I don't care to go in circles anymore. I don't think he's been particularly good this year and I am (very) disappointed, but I am also patient. At worst, he's been an average overall player this season. Even if he never improves on his current shortcomings, he'll still have a long career in the big leagues as an average to slightly above average regular.
-
Lol. You can spin the numbers however you want to fit your narrative that Moncada is a bad baseball player. Clearly providing you stats that illustrate otherwise doesn't work. We're all disappointed with his season. We all think he should be better. We all hope he will improve. But he hasn't been totally awful or a trainwreck. But continue on.
-
Ummmm. Only 79 players put up 2.5 WAR or higher in the AL last year. Exclude pitchers and the number is 52. So tons of everyday AL regulars didn't surpass 2.5 fWAR last season. So I don't think your comment really holds much water.
-
1.1 fWAR and 1.5 bWAR 73% of the way thru a season isn't "awful" or a "trainwreck". But it certainly is disappointing all things considered.

Race for the worst 2018 record (Top 5 pick) again
ChiSox59 replied to caulfield12's topic in Pale Hose Talk
No. -
Smith has already been optioned this year I am pretty sure. So he could be optioned again. Narvaez, who won't be optioned, should still have several left.

Expanded September Roster - Who Gets the Call?

I think you're in the minority here. We've discussed at length, don't see any point in discussing it further.
