If we traded for Wendle, he'd eventually figure out how we run things around here and retire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Seems obvious they have someone specific in mind to play 2nd. Probably will be Segura. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a point in September when the Rays had the best record in the AL, AAA, High-A, and Low-A. They are so far ahead of nearly every organization at scouting and player dev it's insane.

Kimbrel doom strikes again? If they could have had Windle they should have beat out the Marlins offer. Only plausible reason was if the Rays didn’t want to deal him to a contender in the AL and that is doubtful IMO. Lame. Pivot. Trade Kimbrel for something else. Windle was perfect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should offer to develop a transaction alert system for them. Utilize Baseball America and Twitter APIs… When a player fitting a range of stat metrics sees an increase in tweet volume, send text message to all front office executives. Create it in a way that an admin can weigh desired positions, contract expectations, trade value estimates, etc. Come on White Sox… just give me about $350,000 and you can have a new shiny toy that would be the envy of the Houston Blasthoes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 31 minutes ago, fathom said: Seems obvious they have someone specific in mind to play 2nd. Probably will be Segura. Seguar isn't great offensively - and he is a righty - but his defense is really good and I think he'd be near elite at 2B (me projecting so I could be wrong) - and his contact rate is high (a plus for this lineup and assuming we add some pop in RF), which is a nice fit in back of order. He also has good speed and is a good base runner. So I really have nothing wrong with Segura. Is he exciting - no - but he will be a good player, under most plausible scenarios what we thought Hernandez would be - and that isn't a bad thing, not as your 8th or 9th best player. The positional flexibility is also really nice - knowing he can play a good SS too. And he has familiarity with the AL - which I think is a plus, having been pretty solid in the cavernous SafeCo (although maybe as a contact / line drive type guy the bigger park actually helped him).
