CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted April 24, 2021 Share Posted April 24, 2021 White Sox Team WAR 3rd in the majors behind LA 7.8 and Boston 7.5 , CHW 6.6* . Right now a little defense and pitching will go a long way. *fangraphs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the 3 of them in a row. Power with pain in the ass qualities. Pesky...is the least of it. Pain in the ass is their long suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything is bad with these guys no matter what the numbers say. I was half kidding. I don’t like him though and I don’t think what he contributes on offense or “defense” is worth the richest contract in franchise history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m a Yaz fan but I can respect this viewpoint and I certainly know how frustrating he can be when he’s dropping pitches and hitting into double plays.

Rodon has thrown a lot of pitches his last two starts and Giolito barely threw in his last one. Seems likely Giolito doesn’t feel 100 pct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandal is not a black hole in the lineup. I do love Yermin of course but this is a prime example of "what have you done for me lately?" fandom. Why not enjoy the fact the Sox have a catcher who could start for any team in the league. Let Yermin relax at No 7 in the order if that's what the Sox think best for now.
