God help the Sox if they have to resort to giving away 10-15000 Benetti t-shirts in the middle of the championship window...

Except that was pretty obviously right at Melendez...with a little bit of a run in.

Of course the Twins and White Sox are opposites about second half comebacks. Only exception 2008.

Except Melendez was running in with the ball and would have taken too long to set up and make a proper throw esoecially if Abreu and McEwing were in concert on him going.

Nobody has ever accused him of being particularly good at anything.

But how? Dodgers to replace Turner along with Hendriks or Graveman? How much money would the Sox have to send along?

Guarantee the Guardians would have scored there...they always are pushing the envelope on the basepaths.

You can't have two consecutive outs without advancing runners there. You just can't.

Gas. Blown away up high.

A long ways from that...even today he's the #11 SS or above average at least.

Another unproductive out. Melendez wasn't paying attention...nor was McEwing.

Would have been better just to bunt them over...

Wow the Sox haven't even produced an Oscar Gonzalez of their own. Luis Gonzalez is the closest. Neither hit for enough power to be everyday players, though.

Mariners with two amazing wins over Yankees, and thanks to Royals for giving them Carlos Santana. First season series win for Seattle against NY in two decade. 27 one run wins, very similar to last year. Looks like it will come down to Rays Balt Toronto Seattle for WC. But CLE/Min both now 1/2 game back, White Sox 2 back.

And then playing Vaughn and Sheets in the same outfield...down the line in RF is almost as tough in KC as Boston LA and Wrigley with that wraparound turn near the foul pole.

Going to put a bit more pressure on Dayton Moore and KC...probably not Rick Hahn.

Old Sock Drawer, ex Sox player discussion
Luis Gonzalez can really play some defense. No idea why he didn't get more run when that's the biggest weakness of Sox outfielders...Engel has been just above average but not great.
-

Look how many at bats he actually had in Jpn. Only around 100. Fastball Velocity and use of slower breaking pitches so different. Remember Takatsu’s frisbee?

Moncada
The question is whether Burger’s defense would ever allow him to even sniff a 3 fWAR, let alone an overall 4.5 like Moncada last year. His OPS at Charlotte this year is only .771, when we should expect 900ish roughly.

Diagnosing the heart of the problem
Very high, top ten first rounder…8th overall.

Diagnosing the heart of the problem
Oops. Last year and this year we had Tim Beckham 1-1 at Charlotte. Cornelius Randolph/Phillies another.

Diagnosing the heart of the problem
Anderson, Burger, Crochet, Vaughn Giolito, Pollock, Lance Lynn (39th pick), Kopech But none before Chris Sale’s draft year still playing. 2014-16, 2018…nothing to show for those four years, and the 2017 pick was Burger
