i like the emotion and investment these players have shown in this series

every country but usa plays with emotion

this really had a playoff feel to it

to have that in march is crazy

im really warming up to this shit

apparently thats exactly what trout is thinking too because he wants in for 2021 based on how great this tournament has been -- this is EXACTLY what the wbc needed in order to raise its profile -- i wouldnt go so far as to say it legitimized the event because for years now weve seen the best representation of baseball from the other countries but it has made people stand up and take notice

This is not good.His velocity dropped to mid 90's last year and he was getting rocked if it's even lower he's in trouble cuz harvey is a power pitcher.

he threw 4 shutout innings today but they got to him in the 5th

they should have let him finish on a high note since i heard in his last start they werent even displaying the velocity on the scoreboard lol

his fastball was mostly 93-94 mph today

We'll see when the season starts.I know harveys bread n butter is the 2 seamer,4 seamer and the slider he needs velocity to execute those pitches.I don't know if harvey can be greg maddux & pitch with pinpoint location and catch batters off guard.

his current ST slash line

46 plate appearances

.317/.391/.683 with 3 HRs and 13 RBIs

ops well over 1.000

the obp is impressive

even when he wasnt hitting and was striking out more often he was still taking his walks

When he gonna be up may/june? I'm gonna watch white sox games once moncada is called up.They still need to trade quintana for some more position players then they'll have something.

may 14th

thats the earliest date moncada could get called up to ensure his first full year of service wont kick in till next year -- im hoping he stays in the minors until mid year 2017 or even a september call up so he continues to learn to dominate but more importantly its very important not to win this season

the last weekend of 2014 is why the cubs have ian happ instead of andrew benintendi

and i like happ especially with his continued development but beninetendi is gonna be something different

so i would not hate one more horrible white sox season if it guarantees me seth beer in the 2018 draft

hes said to have a special bat
 
and word im more interested in bats, bats and more bats than prospect arms

on some theo epstein shit

building your franchise around pitching has great benefits but man

when i see teams lose key pitchers year after year

it feels like validation for building around hitters

+ its just more fun to watch hitters hit than pitchers pitch

Yea I remember they won like 4 out 5 of their last games wit the youngins up that's when soler,baez,alcantara got called up in july/august and they were competitive the 2nd half of the season.Yup the cubs were gonna draft benetendi but the red sox grabbed him the pick before happ
 
White sox extended tim anderson 6 years 25 mil wit 2 club options.That's a good team friendly extension especially if he excels

Hope baez,contreras and schwarber are sewed up just like that.I already know bryant gonna get a mike trout type contract and I don't know about russell cuz his agent is boras

love this move

there are also 2 team options at the back end of the deal that could control him through the 2025 season

locking up a core piece like this throughout his prime is the perfect move right now

hahn stays getting guys to sign team friendly extensions early in their careers

sale

quintana

eaton

etc

anderson could only be a 1 WAR player on a yearly basis and the white sox would still do well on this deal

$4 million or so per year for 6 years on a guy in his prime and only getting better

sign me up for that 24/7/365
