I think the obvious question is does Vaughn party with Clevinger?

Oppor now can't start either. So our #3, #7, #9, #12, #17, #18, #19, #21, and #24 prospects, who are all starting pitchers, are all currently unable to perform as starting pitchers.

The big board upgrade broke it. Aka Gaged.

Odds are pretty much 100% this is the peak of his White Sox performance.

Except he played better when the team was better, and now is worse when the team is at its worst.

While posting this, I didn't realize the new Iriarte news.

Grant Taylor is out of the rotation before Memorial Day, and may well be a full reliever. Despite his crazy K rate, Hagen Smith also has a very high walk rate (over 7 per 9) and is already seeing velocity issues and being skipped. Schultz has seen his K rate drop by 50%, walk rate double, and and a very pedestrian 4.50 ERA in one of the most famous pitchers parks in baseball. He's also giving up more than a hit an inning. HIs K to BB rate is down about 2/3s.

Martin probably is a regression candidate, as he is decently ahead of his FIP (3.49 era vs 4.05 FIP vs xFIP 4.31) His expected ERA is actually way higher at 5.16. His K% is pretty low, but he also really dropped his BB% too, so he seems to be pitching to more outs this year. HIs BABiP is still .296, so it isn't crazy out of line though. His GB% is up 2 percentage points to almost 48%. What is wild is that his hard hit percentage is actually up this year to 45%, and his average EV has gone from 87 to over 90. It might actually be the defense is helping Davis this year.

The kid has done nothing but hit. I know he is small, but he has been over .900 OPS at each level.

Let's make those points without needing to personally attack other posters. No response needed.

Hopefully he can suck up some innings.

Sure, but until that point, this is an exercise in jerking off Cub fans. Remember all of the Sox front line pitchers have taken a step back this year in terms of their prospects. We don't have extra pitching in the system.

Martin still has 5 years of control after this season. For a team that still needs pitching, this makes zero sense.

Here's another one to track: Most losses in 2 seasons: Mets 231 1962-63 Most losses in 3 seasons: Mets 240 1962-64 Sox with 222 in 24/25. They set the 2 season record with 111 losses this season. They set the 3 season mark with 119.

You like to see the world burn.

A signing like this hitting the media twice as "close" is wild. It's like his agent is begging someone else to make an offer.
