Chicago White Sox

I don’t think that’s the case, but obviously them using him at DH isn’t a great sign.

Vaughn is untouchable IMO. He’s put up a 199 wRC+ against RHP over the past two weeks (31 PA) and his K rate has been cut in half during this stretch (26% before, 13% during). SSS no doubt, but it’s clear he’s starting to figure them out and is becoming an absolute monster with the bat. Throw in the fact he can play a passable LF and you have a middle of the order fixture for the next five years. He ain’t going anywhere.

Drank three Truly’s and then had three glasses of red wine and now rebating what I’ll drink three of next...

But we should be playing Billy Hamilton against righties!

Mendoza at .292 with an .804 OPS

Mieses now at .300 with a .781 OPS.

They are definitely getting better at talent evaluation, but still need to place a greater emphasis on youth. So far that’s been the case under Shirley.

Ramos may be our #1 prospect by the end of the offseason.

I think he’ll still be fine as a back of the rotation starter next year (no doubt overpaid), but we’ll need to manage his innings to ensure that 2023 option doesn’t get picked up.

Fuck

I pray we take some prep infielders in the draft and build another wave of prospects after the current Kanny crew.

But why will he be impacted more?

Again, did sticky stuff not exist last year?

For fuck’s sake, Cease is 30th in fWAR!?! He is not a failed prospect, he’s a valuable major league starting pitcher!!?! And the best part is you’ve drawn all these conclusions because he was bad in 26 starts prior to this season. To think a rookie can’t get better is just plan fucking stupid. I award you no points and may god have mercy on your soul.

Did “sticky stuff” not exist prior to this year?

Cease’s ERA is higher than his FIP this year...

It was the entire point before Jack went on his entire “Cease sucks” tangent

Murder ?

Murder ?

Are you a Sox fan or just a pessimist? I honestly can’t tell anymore what you want to happen.

Why do I think a consensus top 30 prospect is a finished product as a rookie? He also focused on mechanical changes this offseason to remove some of the cut on his 4 seamer. His whiff rate is up ~25% on his fastball despite little to know change in his spin rate. I honestly think you have no idea what you are talking about at this point.

Rookie sucks and can’t get better. You are a damn joke Parkman.

His spin rate on his 4 seamer is barely up, just a bit more active spin.

Preach!
