I've (literally?) been Moncada's biggest supporter on this forum over the years but he still had a massive strikeout rate issue as a prospect. He had a 31% K rate in AA his last year in Bostons org and was pushing 30% again after the Sale trade when he was down in Charlotte. These *16 games* are the first time we've ever seen any indication Colson being overly patient might be an issue in his game.

Semien is probably the best comp of walk rate/strikeout rate/age plus both guys were middle infielders with questionable defensive futures. But somehow prospect analysis was at a point in 2013 where a 22 year old putting up a 167 wRC+ in AA wasn't on top 100 prospect lists, lol.

Moncada was consistently running higher strikeout rates than Montgomery has in the minors.

I genuinely cannot remember the last high end Sox prospect with elite OBP skills. I will take one guy who needs to be a little more aggressive over the dozens who swing way too much.

HR for Colson.

Jerry would rather hire people he knows and lose 120 games than hire people he doesn't know and win 100.

Anyone watching Thorpe tonight? Looks like he's been dealing.

This team (and organization) always gets the outcomes they deserve

Flexen is a trainwreck. He might have the worst stuff for any SP currently locked into a rotation.

How long until Elly steals 2nd?

They're a bad defensive team without Robert and Moncada on the field.

Madrigal had a 150 wRC+ in AA and generally was productive hitter in the minors. We're still waiting for Gonzalez to show a pulse.

Sox position players were like 2 wins below replacement level last year if you exclude Robert's production. They are worse than many AAA lineups if he's out for an extended period of time.

I get he's younger but Colas is a brutal watch too. He is terrible

Can't act like that didn't cross my mind we can't have anything good as White Sox fans

The Sox tanked a season for the privilege to draft Andrew Vaughn #3 overall

Looked more like a calf than a hammy to me, but what the hell do I know. Obviously doesn't look good either way.

You've got to be kidding me

He benefited from the juiced ball like a lot of other players with fringe (to be kind) power. TA is another textbook example.

Who needs to steal bases when you have a .400 OPS

No idea if Steve Wilson is legit, but his pitch data is exceptional and that's very predictive of good performance for relievers.

Stone started crying on the air when talking about what Benetti meant to him/his career a few years ago. It was the night he was honored for 40 years in broadcasting.

Yes

The team is going to lose 110 games and he clearly loved Benetti. Can't say I blame him.
