caulfield12 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Tatis JR. 2/2 with a double and triple for San Antonio...first hit in any game in 10 1/2 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Luis Gonzalez can really play some defense. No idea why he didn't get more run when that's the biggest weakness of Sox outfielders...Engel has been just above average but not great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We traded a pitcher who's still with them. As for Gonzalez, he was a top 12 prospect, at a position of need (both offensively and defensively); letting him go was just kind of typical.

It eventually catches up with you. I'm sure Danny Mendick would have suffered a similar fate had he stayed healthy. Both of their batting averages were highly inflated and neither hit the ball very hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 I'll be in attendance when Dallas Keuchel pitches for Round Rock tonight. Not sure if I should just boo him the whole time or just laugh when he gives up runs. Weirdly enough, he hasn't been that bad in AAA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxjusttyped Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 Trayce Thompson 3R HR off Corbin Burnes. Surely it's just a coincidence so many players join the Dodgers and get better or wildly exceed expectations. Why bother trying to hire away coaches or front office staff from them to see if there's anything they do that the Sox can replicate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can't beat them, replicate what they do to the best of your ability. This doesn't work perfectly because Thompson gets some value from playing CF (8 games played there this year), but there is something on brand (for both orgs) about Trayce having a higher fWAR than the Sox have gotten out of LF + RF this year combined.

I mean, they share a Spring Training complex. It can't be that hard to do some baseball espionage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
