Re: 2015 MLB Hot Stove thread

Without those mechanics his hips would be fine, and he would've never played professional baseball.

I don't think they were bad mechanics; he was just too small for the power he generated out of his lower half.

Possibly.

But he had some counter productive moves in his delivery that could have lead to those issues.

The over counter rotation and then the really vicious lead leg swing into a stiff legged plant probably didn't help his cause. Basically like going 100-0 in half a second and not expecting any repercussions to your lower half.

Sad thing is, these are things that could have been corrected without him losing much velocity, but I think it was a case of coaches being afraid to tinker with his delivery in fear of losing the dynamic stuff he once possessed.

Hard to believe a guy at 31 is already passed his prime.

Bad mechanics will do that to you.

You may have a point there. I think that Lincecum's mechanics on a fundamental level are very similar to Orel Hershiser but he (Tim) exerts way too much force and torque in his delivery whereas he could've simplified it a bit more.

Frazier to the White Sox in a three team trade with LA. Interesting to see the return.

Should have traded Frazier and Chapman before deadline last year - makes no sense.

Peraza is a top prospect and played well with the Dodgers last season. Schebler is a power guy that just needs some at bats. Dixon is the only guy that you can question in the deal.

Peraza is such a top prospect that he's now been traded twice in a 4 month span...

What did the Dodgers get back in this?

Micah Johnson and Trayce Thompson, Klay's brother.

And on Peraza. Dude is the 4th best prospect in a stacked Dodgers system. Ahead of a guy that has been talked about as headliner in a big deals. So take that as you will.
