The OF are now Robert, benetendi, Slater, tauchman, Taylor and Palacios? Do they really need 6? Unless there is an imminent trade its weird. But the true question is Who's on first? 😁

I have been doing pretty well this year.

Yeah, didn't they have 2 streaks of around 20 losses in a row

I didn't look at era just toral runs earned or not.

Coffey, nastrini, palette, Taylor, Gonzalez

True. I'm just stating what's currently happening. I do think it will improve once they bring up some of the kids for the pen.

Last year they averaged giving up 5.03 runs per games. This year 4.39.

Braden won't be up this year. The rest will be up between the all start break and the trade deadline is my guess. Maybe earlier for Colson if he continues this improvement.

Considering what has happened with injuries this year, I'm sure they are going to be very conservative.

True. 6 innings of scoreless pitching is hard to beat for anyone.

If anyone can contribute to a win for this team its a good signing. There aren't going to be many wins this.

Maybe there is an individual evaluation of each player and their capabilities as opposed to we treat everyone the same. Maybe crochet insisted he wanted to be a starter and his arm felt good throughout the process and Taylor is having trouble with his arm bouncing back after only 3 inning outings. People, not necessarily you, are stating very definite views without having all the information.

You have to think that his arm isn't recovering well even after just the 3 inning outings. If everything was feeling good, they wouldn't need to go to the 1 inning outings. Hopefully, he still gets enough innings in tobbuild the endurance to try starting again.

Lip agreed with you? There's a surprised. There two of you usually have such objective and divergent views from one another.

Talk to the Mariners, Yankees, Mets, Cubs and Dodgers who all have 2 if not 3 starters out of the rotation with injuries

I'm shocked this is your take on this. Because this only happens to the White Sox players, of course.

It's the backup QB syndrome. The player you don't see has to he better, until the fans see them play.

Unfortunately, that is too true in society today.

The real question is he better than Slater and Tauchman who will replace Palacios.

Or you could look at the hitting data and realize that no 2 prospects are alike and objectively determine if you think they have a chance. Nothing is all or none.

I enjoyed that discussion, very informative.

It looks like he may get his innings the rest of this year in the pen. Hopefully he gets 60-80 to progress as a starter.

Not like players have any responsibility for their own performance.

That's pretty good. Maybe similar to baseball draft pool where the teams with the worst records get a little more to moderate the competitive balance.

How about this. We know they top draft picks are guaranteed to go to the worse teams but guaranteed money. How about having a system more like baseball where Williams could have gone to let's say the Vikings, a good but not the best team but needs to sign a lesser deal for more years. That way the player can choose, bad team more money, better team more money.
