And even that 70 innings is appreciably higher than what Crochet has done.

He also seems to really like WSMIke, which probably is more telling as to who he is than anything.

The account is still public, but I am pretty sure that isn't him. It might be someone close to him, but one of the racial posts doesn't make sense. Plus this.

The numbers back this up. His line against him is .172/.238/.220/.458, 5.3 hits/9, 0.3 HR/9. That is pretty absurd. AA Guys are hitting like Andrew Benitendi against Drew Thorpe right now. Sure it was better when he was putting up 12 K/9, but it is crazy to see that he hard contact is actually dropping as his contact rates have increased.

At least before he couldn't see his BA on the scoreboard.

Highlights for those of us without subs?

For the record one of the things held against Pedro is that the Royals passes on hiring him twice. The Sox have passed on Jirschelle at least twice now. Three times if you count Ricky's hire.

If your property taxes go up it means your house is worth more. When the markets go in the tank, buy like crazy for the inevitable rally.

They are trying to thread the needle like they did with Sale and Quintana in their rookie seasons. Hopefully it happens.

Well, it's true, but not for the reasons they want it to be.

Just want to highlight this absurdity.

The name of your sex tape... Just your usual awesomeness.

I mean it isn't quite the @Quin truth squad, but I will take it

They really are ready to be White Sox.

I mean am I supposed to be impressed at being able to add 20 more losses to a hundred loss team? Granted it is impressive, but not in the ways that get you extended.

And greg was saying this was a .460 to .480 winning percentage team. Since then the Sox are 5-14, good for a .263.

Not to mention starting the clock towards major league money sooner.

Pedro couldn't call him flat...

This is why we won't be good for a very long time.

Really?

He needed glasses? You can't make this up.

if you are talking about "load", Crochet hasn't had a starters load since... well ever.

BPA is always one of things that sounds great on the internet, but tougher to measure in reality. There is always the consideration of ceiling vs floor, plus how far away from that ceiling a player is. If Player A and B are roughly equal in the eyes of your scouts, how do you break that tie? There is always how they fit into the cap structure for the entire draft too. Like is Player A better at full price, vs Player B at a discount, but if that also allows you to overspend and get Player C, do you come out ahead of just Player A?
