You would hope, I just don’t see elite skills at all. Doesn’t hit the ball hard or far, bad in the field…he’s just a guy at best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there’s a bad decision to make, Getz will make it almost every time. Don’t forget trading for Fletcher instead of McCarthy and cutting Pillar too early. I thought he was supposed to know about player development and scouting? Edited August 4 by WhiteSox2023 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were willing to deal one of their top prospects, a top 100 guy, and possibly more but the Sox decided to move off from it. This was for Fedde.

Not to mention he’s been terrible in his MLB stints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capn12 Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 The kid has destroyed every level of the minors, along the way. Maybe we give him a chance to be a full time player in the bigs for a bit, before carrying the torches, demanding a DFA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DFA is extreme, but this isn’t some guy who came up and stunk in a handful of games in his debut. He’s had a decent amount of run so far so there’s definitely reason to be skeptical about his future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the brief write-up as well Quote After a standout draft spring with Arizona State, Keaschall landed with the Twins in the second round of the 2023 draft. So far as a professional all Keaschall has done is hit. He has shown contact, approach and average power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
