SoCalChiSox Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 10 minutes ago, chw42 said: FWIW, while Benintendi was not great playing in Yankee stadium, his peripheral statcast numbers looked pretty good. He had an expected slash line of .253/.387/.449 while his actual slash line was .212/.354/.365 (this is actually an above average wRC+). His BABIP in that small sample was .212 so it's safe to say that when it normalizes over a larger sample, you're looking at numbers much closer to the expected slash line. Savage numbers incoming.

Benintendi will be that age when this contract is over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be careful with that. AJ Pollock was "good" too, before he got to Chicago 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they somehow acquired Lowe with prospects - I'd be pretty happy (quite honestly). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Parkman Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 I have too much PTSD. The Sox signed him so he's about to have the worst season of his career. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted December 16, 2022 Share Posted December 16, 2022 10 minutes ago, maxjusttyped said: I'm fine with either player, but their career OPS+ is separated by 1 point. For as drastically different as their skillsets are, they have essentially been the same calber of hitter during their career. Some people just get overly fixated on low batting averages & lots of strikeouts. I don't get overly fixated - I just fundmentally don't believe the 2 are equal. I just don't. No one will convince me otherwise but I understand people that will hang up and point to the one stat and say see - they are the same. I go back to - good hitters will deliver more often against good pitching than bad 3 outcome players do against good pitching. Not to mention - tight playoff games, etc - when you need a run, I want the guy up there who can swing and hit for a better average than the 3 outcome guy. That isn't to say I want Juan Pierre over someone who hits .250 with 35HR and a .340 OBP though. That is ludicrious. But someone who is basically a sub .200 hitter. Him getting a hit is basically dumb luck at that point. Yes - it might go far, but those guys just aren't valuable players and are complete black holes for significant stretches. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At that point just add a 4th OF and low salary LH platoon 2B and they're prolly good to go I bet unless they get something huge for TA.

Then there is the whole NL career thing...oh and he is right handed which the Sox don't need but these accounts there is nobody to sign after Harper and Judge.

Was obvious from what Hahn was saying. I still can’t believe Benintendi is only getting a little more than double this year than the great Trevor May.

Sign a AAAA pitcher, AAAA outfielder that can defender an MLB 4th OF (Engel) give Mendick a minor league deal and roll with it.

It's half schtick and half legit PTSD. When was the last time the Sox signed someone that didn't completely suck or get injured at some point during their contract? Grandal was great for his first 2 seasons, but fell off a cliff in his 3rd. Murphy's law rules the White Sox.
