You can also still win a batting title if you don't reach the qualifying PA's. Your average, for leaderboard purposes, is just calculated as if you had enough hitless at bats to reach the qualifying mark. Tony Gwynn did so in '96.

That's really a worry of yours? Like you honestly believe there's a possibility of that happening?

Who would have guessed coming into the season that McCann would become our 4 hitter with a .900+ OPS and probably an All Star? Anybody raising their hand is a freaking liar.

In 2012 Peavy had a 3.37 ERA, 3.73 FIP, 3.99 xFIP across 219 IP. Accumulated 5.0 rWAR, 4.4 fWAR and made the All Star team. I don't think he really fits here.

This is such a minor risk that it should never preclude you from doing it if that is your best lineup. Worst case your pitcher may have to bat a time or two (so not really any worse than half our lineup).

Exactly. Never understood the hate for that guy. He made just 30 starts with the Sox and put up 4.8 fWAR, what the hell more do people want from the guy?

He has a .304/.385/.478 line over the last 7 games. No way you demote him now that he's started hitting.

I'll never understand why people care so much about this. If McCann gets hurt and Castillo has to come in the pitcher or pinch hitter has to bat the rest of the game. Not the end of the world.

Guess I'm not understanding all the b****ing. Guys need to pitch and if they didn't pitch today it would be a minimum of 4 days off for Herrera and 5 days off for Jones, and that's only if there get in the game Friday.

Why do we need Covey? Just let Rodon throw 200 pitches.

Pre-White Sox Dunn was just "a useful player"? No, pre-White Sox Dunn was on pace for 600+ homers and a spot in the HOF.

This offense could be fun to watch at times. That 2-7 could end up hitting 150-160 homeruns this year.

Thome. And Dick Allen's '72 season is probably the 2nd greatest season a White Sox player has ever had including Frank Thomas.

Dye didn't even lead his team in wRC+ or OPS+ that year.

Wasn't Bucket saying Harper all along? Maybe he was right. Probably the best insider the board has had.
