Fantrax write-up on Eloy has me chubbing up over here.

quote:

2. Eloy Jimenez, OF, Chicago White Sox, ETA 2018

2017 (A+/AA): 333 AB, 22 2B, 19 HR, 1 SB, 85 RBI, 54 R, .312/.379/.568/.947

If you were to tell me that only one current minor leaguer was going to join the exclusive 500 home run club, I’d bet every penny I own on Eloy Jimenez. This type of power doesn’t come along every day, folks. He’s the only man on this list that has the ability to hit 50+ home runs AND over .300. That’s a rare feat, but if anyone can do it, it’s Jimenez. Jose Quintana is a fine player and all, but the Cubs are going to regret trading away this powerhouse. Jimenez has explosive bat speed and generates good loft on his swing. Basically, everything he hits is a missile. What more is there to say? Jimenez should be blasting baseballs over the fence in the south side of Chicago later this summer.

What did you give up to get him? I don’t recall it being very much.

I'm surprised there aren't regulations for every ballpark to store balls at the same conditions to keep it consistent.

With all the talk of this offseason being so slow do you guys think teams are legit changing their attitude on spending on FA?

I think maybe its a little bit of that, but I think the big spenders, yankees, dodgers, etc. are all saving up for next seasons ridiculous free agent class and so agents have no stalking horses to drive up prices.

Mostly I think teams want to keep their payroll lower in anticipation of the next FA class, but there is also something to be said for teams learning that the real value is in the younger players under cheap control and not in the 30ish year old free agents.

They got their big stick via trade...they're young and don't need to add much. Same with Dodgers. And the remaining FA options, frankly, aren't that intriguing...especially compared to the options next year.
