So which is a more accurate measure of how he hits fastballs? The speeds of the fastball's he has hit for home runs, or the actual data which takes in all at bats ending with a fastball when compared to his cohorts?

To follow up on this, Yermin is 12th in the AL, and 23rd amongst all qualified hitters in MLB against the fastball.

That was about as fast as I have ever seen a post blow up on someone. Pathetic pivot after it blew up. The data IS there, if you want to see it.

And third leading DH against fastballs

I just looked this up myself. He is a big time PLUS fastball hitter.

I will note that now the Sox have 6 of their own 1st round picks on the roster (including Vaughn) and now one of their own 2nd round picks.

Correct. You must accumulate 6 full major league seasons, or its equivalent, to be granted free agency on your own terms.

You can still have a breakthrough case after the vaccine. It is not 100%. Even if you one of the 6% who can still get it, the symptoms are supposed to be very muted compared to a vaccine-less person.

yes, as soon as he can clear his tests, he can come back.

Its a while.

I guess we will see once the state gets back to Stage 5.

Honestly? It has been decades. I remember Jordan playing in one, to let you know how long ago it was.

Ugh, hate to see this.

I don't particularly care what Sportrac has posted, but in this case I am saying it is wrong. In terms of his major league status, he is owned by the White Sox for at least the next five seasons, assuming he doesn't get sent down this one. It would be six years of control if he gets sent down for a few weeks. In fact the Sox are still in the stage where they can renew his contract at whatever total they darned well please for the next two years.

This is 100% wrong. The Sox still have five full years of major league control.

After being 0-41, that is pretty darned impressive.

2, maybe 3 ABs, less if he shows up TLR.

Kind of shocked that Robin Ventura wasn't on this list after his start.

Some guys are just so good, they make it look effortless. Especially if they don't put on a big grindy kind of show, it can look like they aren't trying hard.

It's not my decision, so I would say Joe Biden wanting him in the position.

It is a decision of consciousness that pretty much every official who left the Trump administration talked about in a balancing act of how effectively could they do the job versus how much worse would the next person be.

Not really, no. Again one person WANTS to.

I really believe a large amount of how Fauci messaged during the early days of the pandemic was a balancing act between getting as much truth out there as possible, and doing everything he needed to do to NOT get fired by Trump, so that he wasn't replaced by another TrumpBot that would have no problem parroting all of the Trump lies which were told early on, including just repeating per batum Chinese propaganda on this.
