They dumped him to even out salary in that deal. Somehow between when they scouted the guy in Asia, and when he got here, he went from deceptive in the mid 90s to low 90s and wasn't fooling anyone.

I know Grant Taylor had high first round potential if he had been healthy and pitched like was hoped.

Does this surprise anyone? It's part for the course in 2024.

If it were just Vaughn I would be less scared, but seeing Torkelson on the same road makes it more scary.

Well hopefully people learn something.

If he truly won't change, it means they don't want him to change.

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.
