ChiSox59 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 QUOTE (Sockin @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 03:41 PM) No Robles. Ken Rosenthal Sources: #Nationals close to acquiring Eaton from #WhiteSox. Robles not in deal. Hm, curious to see what it looks like then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank_Thomas Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Not sure why we continue to add pitching prospects when we need position players. And we have only added one in Moncada. This is too strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dam8610 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 QUOTE (Real @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 03:43 PM) http://www.espn.com/mlb/war/leaders Eaton ranked 15th in baseball in WAR last year according to espn http://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=...=&players=0 fangraphs has him ranked 11th in war you guys will have to find the bwar/fwar stuff, can't find it anywhere He was 11th in fWAR, according to what you just posted. If I understand it correctly, fWAR = Fangraphs WAR and bWAR = Baseball Reference WAR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted December 7, 2016 Author Share Posted December 7, 2016 QUOTE (bmags @ Dec 7, 2016 -> 03:44 PM) At this point basically the only pitchers I care about have to throw ambidextrously or 105 mph for me to care. Position players much more fun. We need position players so much worse than pitchers right now. Washington does have guys like Kieboom, Neuse and Stevenson, along with the July 1 guys like Soto and Franco that really need to be worked into a deal.

And we have only added one in Moncada. This is too strange. I continue to have no issue adding pitching, particularly advanced pitching. 2/5 of our rotation last year was scrap heap guys. Good chance we trade away 2 pitchers. It would be very nice to not have to trade for the next James Shields out of desperation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Servino is a defensive catcher who's bat is way behind developing. I just don't get why we wouldn't insist on position players. I get pitching is king but man we need some hitters to go with these guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox59 Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 If no Robles or Turner (obvious), I think we need both Giolito and Lopez, or one of those 2 and about 4-5 others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFutureIsNear Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Ok so what's the infatuation with a light hitting catcher like Severino? It it just desperation for a C in general or am I missing something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted December 7, 2016 Share Posted December 7, 2016 Listen, I was dreaming about Robles. This sucks. But the white sox farm was equally bad for pitching as hitting. We need everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's 22 and hasn't even played a game in AAA, though he's been in MLB twice and did very well in his most recent cup of coffee there. I think the bat can catch up if you give it time.
