You have to pitch inside though...if you just go for outer half mlb hitters will just dive out over the plate and kill you.

94 was his innings count for all of last season. Starting to wear down and lose his stuff/crispness. Smith must be leading MLB in hbp.

Then they still end up at Charlotte. At least Drury was smart enough to ask for his release.

Teel has to do a better job there blocking that.

DBacks just have too much offense even without Carroll. Their pitching sucks...but so does the Sox offense. Notice it took Michael Kopech all the way from 2018-22 to get his first 18 career starts. Smith reached in less than 1/2 season.

Even the Rockies are leading in June OPS for the NL. Not even sure the Braves would trade Acuna, Jr., for the entire 26 man White Sox roster. Probably not.

https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/sprint_speed_leaderboard Outside of Baldwin and Robert... Here's the Sox #3-8 guys Capra Slater Elko Amaya K.Lee Taylor None of them part of the next White Sox playoff team, when/if there is one eventually. Miguel Vargas is #9.

Yeah...Meidroth is far from a burne,r but their second fastest/quickest young player, and has made a number of mistakes on the base paths. Baldwin arguably #1 in base running and defensive miscues.

And they're certainly not building around power... https://sports.yahoo.com/nba/article/nba-finals-is-this-the-arrival-of-a-thunder-dynasty-in-a-copycat-league-okc-may-be-copycat-proof-180924051.html The White Sox will fall to 29th in stolen bases once you strip out Luis Robert's 22 bags. What exactly is their niche? Besides being yet another feeder team for the rest of MLB's contenders? Other than Brooks Baldwin...there's hardly a legit young prospect that even runs better than average. Maybe Bergolla Braden M. and Zavala. It's pretty clear they're not building around power...but why not speed/hustle/defense like Getz promised potential pitchers coming into 2024??? What happened to THAT? Where's our Sam Presti(gious)...? https://bookies.com/mlb/picks/2025-mlb-teams-ranked-by-age-oldest-to-youngest And then the average age of rostered Sox players is nearly 29...with 7 teams somehow below them. No excuse to be right there with the Twins and actually behind the Tigers (same goes for the moribund Rockies too). The A's Nats Marlins are all understandably there...but the playoff-competitive Cards Guardians Rays, too???

Yeah, currently they're limited to $3-5 deals...$15 million seems absolutely preposterous. The anti-Dodgers.

He beats Benetti in at least one category...albeit unrelated to broadcasting ability.

Maybe Houser gets you someone who slides into the Top 30 (see Banks for Bergolla). None of these guys have been close to "great" though, other than Shane Smith until recently, and Houser on his current run. Amaya and Capra and Palacios "protecting the exposure of unprepared or underprepared" prospects like Baldwin can hardly be described as great. Virtually nobody has described Taylor as great since he was a top prospect with the Nationals over a decade ago.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/mlb/konnor-griffin-is-looking-like-baseball-s-next-no-1-prospect/ar-AA1GYTD4?ocid=BingNewsSerp Just shows how far the Sox have to go with the Pirates having Skenes, J.Jones, Chandler, Griffin, ONeil Cruz, Reynolds, etc...and still being non competitive.

Very simple. SGA Williams and Holmgren....with lots of complementary glue pieces like Dort Hartenstein Wiggins Caruso Wallace. Need 3 difference makers.

Paying down debt ... infrastructure building out...or stadium related.

Keenyn, but also not a legit first rounder

is that ColSat46? or he passed away?

Courtney Hawkins and then Jared Mitchell was never right again after his injury.

Except it only happens once every eight or nine games. And now the rotation is under even more pressure with Martin out and Smith starting to hit a wall.

Has missed too much time...doesn't have the counting numbers to match a crowded outfield competition.

Perfect game so far.

.239 and .748 with erratic defense doesn't equal AL All Star at a deep deep position.
