96 times out of 126.

Also of note for the Sox, in 2024 the first pick cost $10,570,600 and the 10th pick cost $5,953,800. Jerry is probably thrilled to save $5 million next year.

Now he is stating he will be back. https://chicago.suntimes.com/2024/08/19/not-done-yet-tough-season-wont-be-steve-stones-last?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=082024 Sports newsletter&utm_content=082024 Sports newsletter+CID_331276d4323eedca6e3246487652b0cd&utm_source=cst_campaign_monitor&utm_term=Not done yet Tough season wont be Steve Stones last&tpcc=cst_cm

They would lose in arb then. He pretty much to be non tendered, because then they can negotiate a lot more.

2024 White Sox progress

Well that's the defense that pitchers will come to Chicago for.

And he managed to be last in baseball in both offense and defense.

He's been a nice surprise.

I don't understand the point of Nick Senzel, so I am with you that far.

Now that's comedy!

Which is way more entertaining than the brooding contrarian who really doesn't hold an opinion other than yours is wrong.

Which is probably our best OF right now

It's been shocking how BAD the Sox defense has been this year. Like most teams could recall some terrible hitting, but slick middle IF guys, or an OF who can do nothing but run down baseballs, but every guy we bring in seems to have worse baseball IQ than the previous guy and just suck defensively, plus can't hit.

Which will be something like a 10 to 15 game improvement over this year

I will also note that while it mostly lacking power, he is hitting for a perfectly respectable average. .286/.324/.314/.639 since his recall. That includes only one XBH, but it is better than most of this line up.

If he can catch a baseball, he is an upgrade over Sheets.

Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Any chance you can also put in for an upgrade of Jerry and/or the White Sox? TIA

A plus fielder and no hit is way better than the no hit, no field guys we have been running out to RF forever.

Ah yes, the good ol Gavin Sheets experiment.

There is a new guy up top. https://www.mlb.com/prospects/whitesox/

Absolutely! We love you Jas!

Starting is all about being conditioned to go a lot of pitches. If they aren't, that's where problems start.
