Yes they did, Loaiza, Contreras, Danks on occasion. Bartolo Colon for a season in 2003, Javy Vazquez in 2007. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoosierSox Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Plesac was a nice find for the Indians as a 12th round pick. Too bad the Sox couldn't find him with him right in their backyard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barrel% triple the mlb avg and top 5 OVERALL in all of MLB, EV of 92mph puts him in the 91st percentile, hard hit% 95th percentile, career best xSLG and xWOBA, launch angle up 2 degrees from his career average....were these the stats you were looking for? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're overthinking it. 2017 - Jose Quintana - Even if they traded him 2018 - No one, but the pitchers were clearly all in the development phase. Any other beside the point technicalities?

Not really. Nobody talks about wins and losses any more. I've been told by the advanced stat lovers those stats are meaningless. I would like to congratulate Gio. Nice to see a first-round draft pick excel with the Sox. And he's only 24. Obviously Hahn won that trade with Gio about ready to land an all-star berth. Rey has to get more consistent though.

Nice to have a former Indians player make them think twice about the Sox at least. Now we need to acquire a former Twin. The Royals will always act dysfuncationally when they play us (beanballs, fights) so we don't need to acquire any more of those stiffs. Hopfully Jay will be the last.

Southwest Sider Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Abreu's on pace for well over 100 RBI and people are shitting on him. Is that stat advanced enough for you? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gio sought advice from someone outside the org and has found success. Does that automatically mean that his professional pitching coach had no input? or didn't give his blessing? does it really fucking matter who said what where or how? Gio is pitching like a legit ace and agendas still want to quibble. Frankly I don't give a fuck who wants or wants to attribute credit I will just bask in Gio's awesome pitching. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron, his Quality of Contact stats are currently better than they were his rookie year. 2013: soft 17.0% medium 46.6% hard 36.4% 2019: soft: 15.9% medium 46.5% hard 37.6% and yes, we all know his K rate is up. Save it. If Abreu gives us the 70 Xbh and .800 OPS he’s on track for, I sincerely doubt anyone could deter you from wild guessing and incorrectly projecting negative scenario to fit your agenda? Here is just something for you to consider: perhaps given the myriad mistakes you have made in estimating his future value over the past three plus years, perhaps your brain is just dead wrong about José Abreu.

Ron it's easy to hate on guys you see play every day. Your anger regarding Abreu is unjustified. Come over to the right side re. Jose. Give him his due. He's one of my all time favorite Sox.
