Cohen and the SD ownership have it right. You play to win the game. You don't play to just play it. /hermedwards Edited March 18, 2023 by Jack Parkman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Built like a slightly taller Jose Altuve, Chapelli's clean left-handed swing and disciplined approach produce a lot of hard contact. In two seasons as a teenager in Cuba's Serie Nacional, he batted .304/.419/.438, a stat line that doesn't do justice to his power potential. With his hitting ability, bat speed and sneaky strength, he could hit 15 or more homers on an annual basis. After playing the outfield corners in Cuba, Chapelli switched to second base in the DSL. His solid speed, quick hands and decent arm give him a chance to become an average defender at second. He'll be 21 this season and could make the jump to High-A to show what he can do against more age-appropriate competition." He'll be a great follow this year in A ball. People said the same thing about Altuve when no one wanted to sign him. I think Altuve was one of those 15K signees. They knew he had a quick bat, was a leader and good instincts but he was 5' 5" at 16 years old . Hasn't grown much since then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4uckOffCommieScum Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 How about that? I had to look him up because I was wondering if he was an employee they let take batting practice for some reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two years in a row he’s worn down due to nagging injuries. If you want to see an ugly batting line, check out his career numbers in September and later. Part of the wear and tear was likely due to playing the OF, but here he is with nagging soreness already after only playing 1B. I don’t think Vaughn should play more than 5 days/week during the season. Start Sheets 1-2 times/week against RHP. There’s not much of a dropoff between the two (in fact Sheets’s career numbers are better thus far against RHP). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will follow that statement with the disclaimer that I genuinely do not wish injury on any player despite my disdain for them or the team they cheated I mean play for.

This would be the easiest grievance case ever if he was held down for two weeks to "work on some stuff" the magically called up. Sox: "What evidence do you have that we planned on calling Colas up early in the season?" Colas' Agent: "You put up a banner of him in March. Near the stadium in Chicago. Wearing a Sox uniform."
