Thing is you don't need to be much of a numbers guy to not bat the worst hitters clean up.

One thing is for sure, even if he was good enough he wouldn't be in the majors this year with the Sox.

This wasn't the White Sox idea. They are included because they were the team in the movie.

According to baseball reference Leury is 3rd on the team in WAR with 2.4 behind Moncada and McCann.

Lopez seems to be throwing harder. Fastball has been consistently 97+. Edit- Well he was the first 2 innings.

I agree but with this logic they should both be called up now.

They can't but they probably will.

June? There is no reason at all to keep him down after the April deadline next season.

Why the hell is Yermin not up yet? Probably because the front office doesn't want to look stupid by having to get rid of Reed already.

You are not being sensible.

In the minors he was often 97-99mph.

It is more about him spending the whole year in minors this year delaying his development in the majors.

If you want to win next year then you should want him up this year. Why do so many forget that players need to also develop in the majors? It took Moncada a year and a half and Eloy is still learning how to hit major league pitching.

What is winning percentage?

It is unless you want next year to be another lost season. Players need time to develop in the majors too and it is better for them to do so in a lost season.
