Honestly if all gets did was move Crochet to a starter… that’s a damn good move

I think this page is extremely unsupported, it's a miracle it works. Every time I try to find it just by navigating on MLB I never can, I have no idea who found this the first time.

who cares though, that's the kind of player that should be playing on a team like this. Struggles and all. Not a 34 year old shitty reliever on his way to retirement.

SO annoying on the mlb page how the links to the player bios just go to mlb home page!

caulfield that's a good post. I think the bullpen being this atrocious though is kinda my red line. You should be able to find something workable, but because our ML scouting is always so bad, I'm open to it being strictly a scouting problem.

https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5552757/2024/06/13/royals-bobby-witt-jr-royals-turnaround/?utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=mlbtw&source=mlbtw Sad because so much of this sounds like it could be the white sox. A longtime GM/Pres combo being sacked, but sticking within the org for a fresh voice in getz. Bringing in some outsiders to revamp pitching and player dev. But what's the crucial missing ingredient? A new owner who pushed the new gm to cut the s%*# with the old ways and start modernizing the team. I'm sure JR is that voice, right?

It was a shoulder injury right? I basically wrote him off then.

In Context, given how bad the pitching at charlotte was last year, that we traded our best relievers, and the ones added appeared to flounder I'd say it would be hard to have a good bullpen. However, I'd say an actual good pitching coach should be able to pull the floor up beyond this point. If I were Getz, I'd have to say my scouts were a failure. Getting the marginal pieces like bullpen to perform should be where scouts make their money. But ours our bad. They are clearly struggling without someone like Haber helping them with analytics. But as a coach, no reason not to swap out katz based off of this. Well, there is one reason. There is some consistency in coaching between our Pitching coordinator/guy in Bannister and Katz. We've seen some pretty nice performances from players coming up from that system. As we wash away the stink, and the new pitchers come up, it may be worth it.

look at this lineup jfc

we really could have used a hit in rule 5 but without Haber I'm not sure we have the scouting chops to accomplish that.

Yea not a great night

I’m not sure it’s that surprising given he was called up the same year. That said, that lack of development for crucial years for some players is brutal. Part of why I think the Sox strategy of giving that tax incentive to Cuban players who already missed a year in their emigration was a terrible idea.

They are 43-22 despite their injuries already. They won the division last year. I think they understand value better than us tbh.

Both, esp with not having a great showing last summer on the circuit. Would prefer to be getting a guy like that 11-25 range. It's an exciting package it's just there is a reduction of risk I'd hope to get top 5. But all these guys have their warts. but that Mississippi prep stuff hasn't quite found its outlier. Crazy to me given the weather and success of colleges nearby.

so I uh, decided I don't think I can do a mississippi prep player top 5.

Team was run into the ground because in typical white sox fashion, it's depth wasn't very good.

eh i've never loved that case. He's a middle reliever. We made Greg Santos great. I think it's for the most part true that players are wrong that "players thrive elsewhere", bigger issue is they crater here, but a lot of that is bad scouting mixed with bad roster management and salary limitations.

What were your favorite memories of Max Stassi this year?

They also acquired a bunch of phenomenal stuff and some times that’s hard to time with competitive windows. I’d Cease figures it out one year earlier who knows.

Guy has raised his BA by like 50 points in a week

It is crazy, and on the flip side, check out how much of the top ten pitchers are white Sox adjacent.

Question: does anyone else instinctively call him Bobby julks in their head or just me

Was at the game, felt bad for Duke. Great game though, very fun.
