venom4789 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 While i feared it was a sox management crush that made them get Mazara it appears the cardinals wanted him also. They tend to hit on things pretty well so maybe he breaks out here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 2 minutes ago, Chicago White Sox said: I’m not sure about that. Here’s our roster’s wRC+ against RHP last year: Moncada = 148 Anderson = 132 Jimenez = 120 Grandal = 114 Mazara = 110 Collins = 99 Abreu = 99 I would expect Collins & Abreu to both be better against RHP. Honestly, wouldn’t be surprised if Mazara was the low man on the totem pole next year out of these seven. I would be shocked if Timmy's wRC+ against righties is that high again next season.

If you think this is bad, Greg still endures shit for Tim Anderson at catcher. But basically, Billy Hamilton is everything you advocate against. So, we roll with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisox378 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Hahn probably got too buddy buddy with the guy from Texas and made a silly trade with the advice of our HR or nothing scouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A year ago...Soxtalk posters be like...we really need to acquire some guys with real upside. Sox go out and acquire Mazara, a former top 10 prospect in all of baseball who has gotten Albert Pujols comparisons from Bill James. Soxtalk be like...we should have signed Calhoun to a short-term big money deal (veteran who pretty much is what he is, who has actually trended down with 2 of his last 3 years being career worst, including a .652 OPS). 3 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsideirish71 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Glad we can show this generation the thrill of having Mark Teahan running around in RF. We also picked him up due to him decking our pitching. That was a great evaluation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn’t about comparing what Kole would contribute compared to what Nomar has done in the past. And they better succeed in doing so because we only have four years of control left of Yoan & Giolito and if we get 2016 to 2019 Mazara that could cause our competitive window to shrink a year.

Chisox378 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 (edited) When did Bill James say this? It must have been a long time ago. Pujols put up batting averages of .329, .314, .359, .331 his first 4 years to go alomg with well over 150 HR. It's no comparison to Mazara. Mazaras swing is nothing like Albert's. Bill James struck out here. Edited December 11, 2019 by Chisox378 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait till they start trying to lock those two up to team friendly deals. Then if either of them reject that, my god will all hell break loose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BackDoorBreach Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Adam Engle was worth more fWAR in half as many ABs last year than Mazara. You can't tell me Walker, who has no viable path to the Sox regardless, couldn't have been a throw in for an actual productive player.

If there were plans for a Rendon pursuit, I’d be far more ok with going cheap in RF. Skeptical they would something so bold that would also require moving Moncada and likely trading Madrigal.

TheBlackSox8 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 I'm thinking of this as a Scott Podsednik type move, where it allows you to go buy higher quality at 2nd/3rd/pitching. Say the Sox sign Rendon, and move Moncada back to 2nd...no need to worry about a lefty OF with Mazara. All there would be is pitching.
