Jack Parkman Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 (edited) Moncada's statcast profile from last year. Well above average with everything, and great with everything other than speed. Edited March 5, 2020 by Jack Parkman 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be mad, but only if it's in the 40-50 range. Pitching is just so risky that you are usually better off just holding them through control and using them and then signing the ones you think are best as FA's when the time comes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wegner Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I wonder if Renteria is concerned that this extension will give Yoan no incentive to work on his bunting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just insanity what the Sox are pulling off. Now let's hope these guys are good lol. I love what Rick's doing, and I think it's great and exactly what I'd want, but the risk obviously exists that you are now tied to this core for 6 years. I think they reward Hahn for this and the organization, but if someone really wants to be a classic pessimist the only pessimistic look is what if these guys don't improve.

Sorry, just a little excited & ready for the season to start? This is why I'm confused when people want Renteria gone. It seems like his players will run through a brick wall for him. Firing him and bringing in someone like Girardi wouldn't work IMO. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renteria takes a ton of flack, but as I've said a managers job is 99.9% relationship management/player management/emotional management and .1% strategic. These players seem to love Ricky, so I will give Ricky a pass and the benefit of the doubt. Years and years of losing and never a negative word out of the clubhouse. That's really difficult to do. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking the same thing! The Sox/Hahn are doing things that other teams would, & try to replicate, do with their young, core players. It feels weird that the White Sox are doing something that other teams & fans can admire. It's a whole new world. The future is bright!

Yes I agree. When Grandal came up as a rookie with the Padres, Ricky was a coach there. He made a good impression with him. Helped his decision to come here.

Jack Parkman Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 (edited) Just saw this: Sox team control: 2021: Rodon, Mazara 2022: Abreu, Keuchel? (if option doesn't vest) 2023: Grandal, Giolito, Lopez, Keuchel? (if option vests) 2024: Anderson 2025: Cease, Moncada, Kopech 2026: Jimenez, Bummer, Madrigal 2027: Robert, Vaughn Edited March 5, 2020 by Jack Parkman Accuracy 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, just a little excited & ready for the season to start? Yes, I can already see/sense something special about this team's personality. They have incredible young talent complimented by a confident streetwise grittiness binding them together and already giving the team its own unique identity. There is no other team I can compare them too. If their talent pans out this team is going to be an absolute dream for fans and marketers.

That's unreal. This offseason has been a dream just like last year's was a nightmare. Agreed. A very good dream! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
