ChiSox59 Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 31 minutes ago, Timmy U said: 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. I meant the Sox are waiting to cut Yaz until Seby is back rather than going with Lee + Perez in the meantime. Wouldn't be surprised at all to see the Sox option Lee back when Seby is ready, tho.

almagest Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Seby would need to be the best defensive catcher of all time to put up with 34 wRC+. He is not blocking anyone and should be gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Carlos Perez pop time is 1.99 while he was up, while the mlb average is 2.0. While his arm is weak, he has a top 10 exchange time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogan873 Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 I can't imagine keeping Yaz and optioning Lee when Seby comes back. Who cares if it's Seby and Lee the rest of the way? Of course, they could have a mule in the front office right now just stomping it's hoof to make decisions. "Okay, should we bring Lee up? Once for yes, twice for no." *One stomp* "Alright. Send down Perez, one stomp. DFA Yaz, two stomps." *One stomp* "Are you sure?" *Blank stare* "I mean, is there a reason to keep Yaz? He's -" *Stomps wildly while hee-hawing loudly* "Okay! Okay!" 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the strongest arms on record this year, gets 10 mph more than Perez on throws. Despite slower pop time, his 1.95 pop time to second is in the group with Christian Vazquez and Austin Hedges. But to put it in perspective, JT Realmuto is 1.83 seconds to 2nd, and Patrick Baily is 1.87. Those dudes are hell on the base runners.

Timmy U Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 I was Patrick Bailey-curious his draft year. What a weird ride it's been for him. Blocked and off to a rough start offensively, suddenly it's Bart who's blocked. Baseball, especially prospects, is so unpredictable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually both have played regularly since their callups. The 100F weather could be a factor tonight as well. Colas July: Played 19 of 21 games since his July 4th call up. August: Played 17 of 20 games, I believe intentionally benched a game or two due to poor defensive decisions. Sosa Played all 6 games since his August 18 callup, started all but one (played the final four innings the final game in Colorado). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Korey Lee has played in 186 games in AAA, the league that sits below the majors. He's 25. This isn't the 20 year old in AA guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PorkChopExpress Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 I think the plan is to have this guy as the starting catcher next year, and until Quero is ready. Might as well see what he's got now, and identify things to work with him on before next year. Or if he's absolutely terrible, at least they find out now and can start targeting other catchers to bring in for next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
