White Sox Reportedly “Planning To Keep” Alex Colome

By Jeff Todd | July 31, 2019 at 8:25am CDT

The White Sox are “currently planning to keep” closer Alex Colome rather than shipping him out of town today, according to Bob Nightengale of USA Today (Twitter link). Colome checked in at the #26 spot on MLBTR’s recent ranking of the top 75 trade candidates in baseball.

Colome has all the outward signs of a top trade target. The 30-year-old carries a 2.21 ERA and has racked up 21 saves in his 40 2/3 frames on the season, and still possesses mid-nineties heat.

Otherwise, however, he hasn’t been very impressive in 2019. Colome’s combination of 7.1 K/9 against 2.7 BB/9 and a 44.8% groundball rate looks more like that of a common middle-reliever. He surely deserves some credit for holding opponents to an anemic .147 batting average on balls in play, but Statcast figures suggest quite the opposite. Colome carries a .324 xwOBA based upon the quality of contact against him, well north of the .223 wOBA that batters have produced.

As ever, contract rights matter quite a bit as well. Colome is earning $7.325MM this year with one more arbitration season yet to come. That’s an appealing situation for a lock-down closer, but seems quite pricey if that’s not how you value Colome. Indeed, the low ERA and lofty save totals he’s accruing this year also promise to raise his salary quite a bit in 2020.

In the aggregate, it’s not especially surprising to hear that interest isn’t building to a crescendo on deadline day. True, the White Sox’ postseason hopes are dim. And Nightengale says that the South Siders have fielded interest from “plenty of teams.” But the club wants a reliable ninth-inning arm for 2020 and already paid a fairly heavy price for Colome. (In addition to the salary, the cheap and controllable Omar Narvaez is raking in Seattle.) Rather than swinging a trade and going out to find a replacement this fall, the Chicago organization will seemingly hang tight and keep the known quantity.

    I just don’t see them competing next year. I think they’ll be a decent team, but I see the Indians and Twins being ahead of them in the division, and 2 Al East teams, and a Al West team ahead of them in the wild card.

          The White Sox just signed Eloy Jimenez to $48M/6, and their total active payroll is a paltry $61M. Please explain to me why the Sox That means they have more to spend. They offered $30MM to Machado recently. So please, wax poetic on why they wouldn’t spend money to retain star players. Otherwise you’re just some numbskull cubs troll.

          The White Sox staying away from Harper and Colome is probably a smart long term move but Harper would have been the better move for the White Sox. Having Colome for one more year is not a bad thing with the White Sox waiting to see if Burdi can bounce back from current injury.

      Still shouldn’t give Colome away for nothing. I’m okay with Hahn kicking the tires on this one. Whether it was his peripheral stats or his remaining salary that made teams reluctant to pony up a descent prospect, it’s their loss in my opinion. Colome throws hard, he throws strikes and hitters don’t square his pitches up. I hope the Sox resign him if he keeps this up next year (or anything close to his solid career numbers, since everyone thinks a regression is so inevitable).

      Colome has poor peripherals and is expensive compared to similar pitchers on the market. The Sox would likely have to eat some money and only get back a couple of guys in the 15-30 part of an average farm. It’s makes sense to just keep him for that.

        as a Phillies fan, i have realized not all pitchers can pitch in the 9th inning. Jeanmar Gomez was ruined by the 9th, Neris is a setup man, and Seranthony was run into thr ground last year. in sure showing you can pitch in the 9th is a boon in the eyes of GMs, regardless of what “experts” say.

          0.76 is based on a BABIP of .147, while his career BABIP is .276. Do you really think the .147 BABIP is sustainable? If there was a market for this, I’d bet heavily against that.

          Dark side I just don’t think you want to get in this argument. You’re arguing over your head clearly. You’re making the argument that this guys always outpitches his FIP. Which is fine. Some guys can do that. But what you cannot do is argue that he’s so lucky that it will continue when his BABIP is .100 points below his career average and all his other peripherals are down.
          That’s a complete nonsense argument. He’s never sustained an ERA at this level w this profile. It’s not sustainable. You can throw the FIP/xFIP equation out the window.

      So with your thinking, Craig Kimbrel’s ERA is 6.75, but his FIP is 8.10. Considering he has an average defense behind him, does that mean he’s a candidate for regression? Because if that’s the case then that may be the worst FA reliever signing in history.

          Why are you stuck on a 1/2 run career different in FIP? Using one stat in isolation is silly. But even that is off by 1.6 runs this year. I guess we’ll see over the next 18 months how he fares in an important roll on the South Side.

          Let’s not have an anti intellectual argument here. Colome tends to outperform his FIP/xFIP that’s eminently possible. His .147 BABIP v.279 career BABIP and drop in K rate is a whole other story. .275 WOBA v .300 xWOBA.

          He’s performing over his head right now. You’d have to close your eyes and refuse to look at data to say he’s not. Even with regression towards his mean he could still be a useful reliever. Just not nearly as effective as he is today.

      Metrics apply to him, they apply to everyone. They are indicators though, rather than exact. Some guys consistently outperform their FIP for isolated reasons, some guys consistently underperform it. We have a pretty good idea why the latter can be true, at least in many cases. We don’t know as much about the former. Regardless, the the Babip and low strikeout rate are glaring and indicate likely regression.

    White Sox are not hidebound by such antiquated stats as team ‘W’s and ‘L’s. They prefer the modern metrics, such as ‘Wpp$s’, (Wins per payroll dollar spent), in which category they are amongst baseball’s leaders.
    However, Colome has been MUCH better than has been often portrayed here. As another noted, a good portion of the very few runs he has allowed have been in garbage time, game lost situations. Not saying he won’t regress since most relievers do. For example, Mariano hasn’t notched many saves lately.

    Here’s the bottom line. Colome has outperformed his peripheral stats, and teams are weary about trading for him, expecting regression. He continues to dominate so is worth more to the Sox than they can get in his return.

      Exactly right 100%. Typical Reinsdorf organization.. Over valuating what you posses. While the rest of league knows said player is not worth asking price. And, next season when Colome is blowing saves, then Hanh and Williams will realize they botched yet again

    Kenny Williams has used Nightengale to blow southside smoke for decades. I suspect there is interest in Colome but the return is paltry and would amount to a salary dump. GMs not falling for the banana in the tailpipe.

    If Colome isn’t dealt today then I’m grabbing a torch and hunting Hahn down like Shriek! When your organization has (5) 23-24 year old relief pitchers in your top 25 prospects..Johnson, Hamilton, Burdi, Heuer and Hansen closing in the minors you find out in 2020 which one or ones will be your future closers. Your not going to compete until 2021 since Kopech, Rondon etc are a year+ removed from surgery.

    The Sox have no reason to trade Colome right now. If the offers are lackluster, Hahn is smart to walk away. They can always trade him this time next year and get a better trade.

    If your NOT going to contend in 2020, why would you pay a closer $8-10MM if he’s not part of your future. In addition, why allow him to block the arms that you consider to be your future closers? I’d rather throw that money into a free agent that fits your 2020-2024 outlook.

      The White Sox have an extremely low payroll going into next year. Overpaying Colome is not a concern.

    I wonder what the return was in terms of best offer.

    If they didn’t get someone who can help the team now, at a position of need, I can understand not making the deal.

    The last time they traded a closer, they got a failed starter who they had to put on the 40-man roster.

    Now, this makes no sense if they have no intention of trying to win next year, which, based on the fact that Robert is still in AAA, and Madrigal in AA for absolutely no good reason, I doubt that is the intent.

    Still have no clue what Hahn is doing.

    It boggles my mind how this site and others continue to ignore Alex Colomes’ most important stat: Holding opponents to a .079 average in 22 save opportunities in 2019.

    I’ll take a guy with the clutch gene any game of the week!

    Analytics are critical to make informed decisions, but too often are used to silence any debate. Makes some people genuinely upset when pitchers that don’t rely on K’s can still be effective. Granted the pitch to weakish contact is a better attribute for a starter to be efficient/go deeper in games, but still room for RPs like Colome that aren’t as intimidating. Substance over style.

    Colome has saved 21 games out of 22. chances.. The man is a closer. He save almost half the WS wins. I don’t get the stats happy people. It just sounds like cover for a really bad team, who wants to stay in black. I remember the only numbers that matter were the ones on the back of a baseball card. Those were the days.

    I’ve been going to Sox Park since 1951. I’ll always love a closer who blows only one save in four months. Don’t care about his numbers — just care about results.

    Pretty nice late action to finish the deadline.

    Gotta make this quick, which figures, since there’s a lot I could say.

    The one I’ll say from quickly scanning the posts is this: OK, I get Colome’s numbers will regress, I’m expecting it myself (though nowhere near the regression some of you believe). But, man, some of you act like Colome is a fringe reliever who just got thrown into the closer’s role for the first time in his career and has just been the luckiest player in MLB history. Problem trying to trade him was he wasn’t the big fish for closers. He wasn’t going to get what Hahn was asking.

    The team has to be in winning situation for the closer to come in. But since the all star break there hasn’t been many chances. I don’t know what happens But Colome is still doing his job. Also Hahn asks to much for his players.
