The worry is always that he's gotten figured out. Today i think more of it had to do with not getting picked up by his defense, as he could have been out of the inning with 1 run allowed pretty easily.

Nor defensive positioning, evidently.

The extra outs killed him.

Bases cleared.

Edgarr 3-3 on challenges

Ding

But it was worth 2 balls.

Going to be a whole lot of bullpen today. Probably 11-12 innings worth between the two teams.

Bet that wouldn't happen today.

I have really enjoyed them sticking it to the Cubs the last few years. Let em cook.

Not going to lie. He's got ceiling and athletic ability for days, but his back and whatever happened to him last year at AAA scare the s%*# out of me since no one has really been willing to say what was going on with either. I literally have zero idea what to expect out of him. Three years down the road if he is an all-star or on his way out of baseball, neither would shock me.

This story is a great example of what happens when the media is under your thumb, the fact that we get basically an annual update of nothing is telling. This should have been figured out long ago.

Yep, and those guys don't get better after abusing their bodies too much.

Those guys are place holders and lottery tickets. Nothing more.

Nice little bell curve in the upper 60's/70

hahahahahaha

Prove it then. Put up or shut up.

It never was. If you believe this, it explains a lot.

Imagine thinking this was actually said so that you could argue against it.

Its Schroedingers Roster. Simultaneously the best, and the worst, possible roster depending on how you are trying to sell it.

Chicago White Sox "It's really not that bad.."

You won't see me arguing. MLBs blackout rules are antiquated and harmful.

MLB blackout rules I am sure

At best, if this dude is your DH, you are actively looking for options to replace him. I am looking at full time DHs because that's what we were talking about. If he isn't DHing, but still playing, he is actively hurting the team which is worse than full time DH. The other half of that being the obvious thing that there is no reason the Sox couldn't ditch him for a more active rotation of DHs around this roster and get that same wonderful "league average" production with someone like Sosa as a "primary" and the rotating the other OF, Mune, Vargas, Colson, and anyone else for a day off of defense, into DH.

He's league average if you ignore the fact he can't carry a glove. If you place him with his peers he is not average. It's not like he is playing 2nd or catching with that bat.
