I mean duh.

What's a playoffs?

How long have had this post queued up for? Like 3 months now?

Oh bless your heart.

I did. It isn't true. Just watch him struggle.

To BS land if you believe Eloy is running at 100%

Come on.

Literally every IF on that list a major question mark.

He has all of the physical tools to be a #1 starter. Big arm, big strong frame, fast twitch muscle to spare, 102 top fastball, plus he had an outrageous slider. By all indications he should have been Paul Skenes before he got here.

I disagree fully. Michael Kopech has more raw talent then just about anyone in baseball. He is just missing something between the ears to use it.

Thankfully we fired that guy, right? Right? https://chicago.suntimes.com/white-sox/2024/06/29/how-white-sox-development-plan-is-working-for-jonathan-cannon

Bowl of room temperature dog water would work.

Like Stacey King always tells us, KYP, Know Your Personnel.

Eloy already tore a Hamstring just thinking about running out on the damp field.

Starting to see our 2nd half bullpen come together

Old Friend Alert

He also gave up more hits JUST under someone's glove than anyone I can remember.

He has an option for 25, so you don't HAVE to trade him, but if you get a Graveman type offer, put him on the train to ORD.

Except he had a 3.58 FIP leading some to believe getting away from the worst fielding team in baseball would help his numbers normalize. The wild thing is even with pitching to contact and seeing his K and BB numbers both drop hard, his FIP is still a run less than his ERA.

That's a plus for a guy who is gone in three months.

That's honestly a pretty good call about a dude no one has talked about much. He has been impressive as a reliever. Maybe a low budget team looks at him as a cheaper target than an established reliever. He is a free agent after this season, so you have to imagine the Sox take any offer at all for him.

And while I get the Sox looking at bats, I think we are going to all look back at the 2024 draft and Hagen Smith, the same way we look back on the 2014 draft and Carlos Rodon, wondering how he wasn't the top pick. The dude is just a beast.
