wegner Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 (edited) Is this guy supposed to be a defensive or offensive 1st kinda catcher? Oh, and congrats to Korey on making it to the big dance. Edited August 24, 2023 by wegner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWSpalehoseCWS Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Man they REALLY dislike Perez. I know he isn’t the best catcher out there but you’d think the kid would get a small look to see what he’s capable of. He’s had success hitting the ball in Charlotte. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ehhh, is a .245/.306/.736 slash really that successful for a guy that isn't really a catcher? I agree they should be giving him a look over playing Yaz at this point, but Perez clearly isn't in the long term plans for this org.

restinpiss Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 This is typical WS. Start the clock early on a prospect who isn’t close to being finished. They have done this time and time again. Rodon, not ready gets injured and wastes two years of his service time on the DL. Crochet, same thing. The only player it worked out for was Chris Sale who was clearly a unicorn. Instead of realizing that he was a unicorn and not a product of their developmental genius, they keep fucking up. This guy should be up June ‘24 or whatever the service time falls below a year. Just stupid s%*#, time after time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I’ve seen, we’re all just waiting for Quero. I like Lee’s tools, Hackenberg’s D, and Michael Turner is shockingly underrated, but Quero has something special in his all-around game. He’s just really savvy. Does a lot to help a club win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His service clock is meaningless unless we think that someone’s breaking the bank for a 32 y.o. likely back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to disagree with this one, and this is from a person who always complains that the White Sox call people up too quickly. This is a guy who had plenty of development time in the Astros system. He had his first appearance at AAA back in 2021, and has over 800 plate appearances there on offense, he's listed as playing nearly 200 games there, all at AAA. You can quibble with bringing him back as the return for Graveman, his problem with the Astros is that he has been passed in quality and performance by Yainer Diaz so he has legitimately no role there and he isn't viewed as a sure fire guy, but it's totally worth the White Sox trying him out now that they have him. He was on the IL when the Sox traded for him, but if he's healthy and had enough time to rehab, there is zero reason to keep him in the minors any more and he should absolutely be in the big league catching rotation all of next year if healthy. The odds may be against him working out, but he's definitely worth a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy U Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Just now, reiks12 said: Is the consensus still that Quero is a below average defender? I have not seen that. I think he is young, inexperienced calling games, the arm is just average (unlike Lee’s cannon), but he has a pretty quick release, I think he’s been decent at blocking balls and when they do get away, he’s been very quick to pounce on them. He made a great play to save a base in the game last night. Molina is his all-time favorite player, so he works hard on his D. I think he’s going to be above average. When you pair that with his really great baseball IQ, there’s no doubt in my mind that he stays back there. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
