So, do the Sox keep letting him steal bases, or do they put him in bubble wrap?

No issue other than his stuff tanking. MOG. I can’t believe that elbow soreness is not at least a partial impetus for the biomechanics work without a timeline to work with. A pitcher flying open with a delivery is usually a team’s pitching coach’s job to fix

Crochet was always a violent delivery guy iirc. The shoulder goes before the elbow usually. And it did. He is also on the list

If he already had the surgery, and presumably he had his delivery examined already, and the mechanics are still causing problems in the pros, does not inspire confidence in them finally working it out now. They talk like they already knew what his issue was, and we are still dealing with whatever inflammation this is causing

I mean, I don’t care what the MRI says. Listen to the elbow. Shut him down. Unless there is a physical therapist that can contradict my paranoia.

Pitchers should immediately schedule surgery right after the draft. Just get r done

The dreaded clean bill of elbow health

That’s the same WAR as his replacement so far LOL.

Vibes?

That’s what passes for decent, depending on what standards some of us are using

Reinsdorf is embarrassed and was embarrassed losing to the Cubs. So we have that going for us

Is a -.2 WAR underachieving?

God doesn’t like ugly

Honestly, without Wrigley Field, that “lovable losers” stuff don’t fly.

she didn’t start it did she? The fans were doing first? I always heard it was Chet Lemon’s song. No idea. Maybe I’m wrong, but she definitely takes credit for it.

Sunlight is cleansing

All I would say on his window, is that if he really is this all star type prospect, there’s not much more time to show it. If he’s just a guy Major League roster dude, then sure, he’s got a couple more years.

animal abuse analogies. 🫥 Sorry. I will now see my own over-sensitive bleeding heart way out of the thread…. PS: go .280 Sox!

OTOH, there’s more reason to believe it than not.

I mean, as far as I know, the things people worried about when he was drafted are mostly the things he has trouble with. Perhaps it’s the flawed player and not always the “developmental programs”

We took some good swings for a minute .

So, this is how it ends.

Every time a publication had him on one of those dang top prospects lists, was always a case of “Are you guys sure?” for me.

He can try to get back to who he was allegedly trying to be anyway.

If the White Sox need 2 more years to make decisions, the problem is (still) much bigger than Colson
