Honestly what percent of sure "cant miss" prospects actually become the player they were hyped to be? 10%? If Nick can play 100 games / season for a few years, he will surpass Gordon Beckham's value over 11 seasons relatively quickly. Cesar Hernandez: 9 Seasons; 1,008 Games; 15.4 fWAR (1.7 fWAR/season) (Baseball Reference top comparable - Kolten Wong) Nick Madrigal: 2 Seasons; 83 Games; 1.5 fWAR (0.8 fWAR/season) (Not a large enough sample for a BR comparable) Gordon Beckham: 11 Seasons; 1,069 Games; 5.5 fWAR (0.5 fWAR/season) (Baseball Reference top comparable - Popeye) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was almost like saying “if we win great, if not, that’s ok because we are going to win the division “. I hated watching Sunday baseball in 2005 and 2006. Is TA hurt? 2 days in a row off? Yeah, fuck World Series-winning Ozzie for his Sunday lineups in '05. I'm sure that extra rest had nothing to do with the team going 11-1 in the postseason. Should've focused more on the fans, dammit. And fuck La Russa too for keeping his team fresh. Not like he knows anything about winning 3 World Series and 6 pennants. And fuck La Russa again for not playing TA against the professional MLB trainers' recommendation. Reinsdorf needs to wake up. Stop hiring these bums like Ozzie and La Russa, and look at the talent pool we have on SoxTalk. 3 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Sacamano Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 1 hour ago, bmags said: For the record, this is why I wasn't onboard as Cesar for a guy to immediately pick up his option. To say the least, there are a lot of 2bs possible, and it is unlikely you'll be left without a seat. He is a fine option though, but with so many infielders on the market there's a possibility to upgrade or get similar production for similar price - but why lock it in. But it's not life or death and if they pick it up, it's fine. Even if they make a mistake there will be 2bs available next deadline and offseason etc, etc. I feel like they have guys in the minors who may even be worth a look next year for 2B (looking at Romy).

He still had almost 20 home runs with the Indians....they weren't inside the parkers. You would think if he adjusted his swing to have more home runs earlier in the year, he would have more than 1 so far with the Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colome's Hat Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Cesar definitely needs a day off. But I wonder if with TA's day to dayness and Leury being out, we can't really give him one without bringing Vaughn to 2nd. Have a feeling once the two come back, he'll get a day off. I still think he's had some good at bats and he's still contributing with the glove out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJ'S Cousin Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 Where would we be if AJ doesn’t steal 1st base in Game 2? We’d of been down 2-0, going to Anaheim, and they would of had the momentum. This is why I honor him and my monicker is AJ’S Cousin, also loved the way he would ruin Cub fans days when he played against him. He should also have a job rotating in and out of the pre and post game shows. I like Beckham and Scotty Pods, but AJ’S contributions to 2005 out weighs whatever Beckham did his whole career. I’m good with Scotty, he was a MAJOR contributor in 2005. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLR doing ok, he’s just too by the book for me sometimes. Hey, we’ll win the division by 15 games, maybe more. TLR will be manger of the year, Hahn might win executive of the year. All good.

He should have done his job and not quit on the team. But hey just look at how well he did in Miami. Fired mid year and No other team would touch him. KW must be pretty powerful if such a great manager couldn’t get another opportunity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
