flavum Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 I was hoping Young was starting today. Duffy is going to be tough. Yordano Ventura tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Young was on a pace for about 200 homers surrendered... Suicide to start him at USCF with the ball flying out like that. It's bad enough starting Ventura, between his mental frame of mind and the fact that his fastball's gone from a weapon to one of the most hittable pitches in the majors despite roughly being at the same speed as a year or two ago (maybe a drop of 1-1.5 MPH).

Condor13 Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 6/11 @WhiteSox lineup vs KC Eaton CF Abreu 1B Cabrera LF Frazier 3B Lawrie 2B Garcia RF Navarro C Coats DH Anderson SS Quintana P Much better lineup. If Anderson keeps hitting i ould see him moving to the 1 or 2 hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sacamano Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Coats DH today. Surely he has to be better than Garcia defensively, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 COATS (coming out of university) [plus athlete; very strong; special bat speed; decent to average speed; average arm; plus raw power; corner outfielder with good range; pitch recognition could make or break him; 6-2, 195 pounds] Half Glass Full: Pitch recognition and overall approach at plate improves to the point his plus power allows him blossom as an above-average everyday corner outfielder Half Glass Empty: Awesome power goes to waste as 4A slugger due to Jeff Francoeur-level plate discipline Jason Coats: Similar speed gives Coats similar range (to Courtney Hawkins), but having watched them both play and listening to some scouts, the routes and instincts are superior here. He looks like he's likely above average on the corners, and he can and does play a little center in a pinch. Call him 55 or 60 on this grade. Jason Coats: Coats doesn't have the arm strength Hawkins does, but it's close. And having watched him in outfield drills in Charlotte, he was putting on a show compared to his cohorts on throws to the plate, with good strength and striking accuracy. Again plenty of arm for any slot, he's at least a 50 here, and might be closer to 60. http://www.chicagonow.com/future-sox/2015/...nd-jason-coats/ So all indications are the Coats should be an above average LFer and at least an average RFer.

I think anyone is better than Garcia in RF. Coats never really had any special standout tool, but is supposedly average across the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigsoxhurt35 Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 I'd have Coats in the outfield over Avi but whatever. Let's get another win boys. Blow them out to save the pen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted June 11, 2016 Share Posted June 11, 2016 Probably doesn't want to inflict more pain on Avi's fragile psyche to bench him for a rookie (in terms of playing Coats in RF instead). That said, it's hard to imagine anyone much WORSE...if so, the list would be a short one. Maybe Ventura feels Eaton will be more comfortable playing with someone he's more familiar with.

I still think he could net a possible relief option for the Sox. Some team might be willing to think they can get him to perform better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. You could tell by how Melky approached that, that he was the one who made that choice. No one seems to want to talk about Frazier striking out in a big situation, though.
