    Tired: Moncada at 3rd

    Wired: Burger at 3rd

    Inspired: Ramos at 3rd

    That's where I'm at now and it depresses me to have finally thrown in the towel on Yoan

    Burger way behind Robert in experience facing professional pitching. Just add up all their plate appearances in minors and majors.

    It's possible nothing can be done at this point, but I'm convinced Burger's issues recognizing spin (and his poor plate discipline generally) are largely due to years of lost development time. He was a low strikeout rate guy in college & in the minors prior to all of his injuries.

    In my Sox lifetime which goes back awhile, I am not sure I ever witnessed a player like Robert before, who crushes the ball. as hard as he does. I'm thinking maybe Frank Thomas, but nobody else even close.

    Btw, Grifol gave Robert a very long and glowing speech in the post game show of how amazing Robert truly is. He didn't just talk about his hitting, which obviously he highlighted, but also stressed how Robert is probably one of the best centerfielders in baseball. Grifol could not emphasize enough, what Robert does in center is not easy, but he makes it look so easy. 

    Heaven forbid, over the next few years if we could ever surround Robert with great on base hitters, both in front and back of him, how much more phenomenal his numbers could be. 

    I think about this at some point during every game. Watching him glide around in CF is incredible. I don't think his defense is appreciated nearly enough. He is a generationally good defensive player.

    Keuchel made his 2023 professional debut in AAA after being picked up by the Twins.

    He spent the last ~year trying to regain velo. I'll be interested to see if that translates into games but early returns are (unsurprisingly) no

    On our way to winning the division by default!

    1 good week away from being in 1st place or having the 3rd worst record in baseball. I can't imagine that's happened too many other times in MLB history

    I would guess Luis will be our sole representative at the All Star Game, unless they go with Giolito.

    Robert is second amongst AL position players in fWAR. There is no question he deserves to make the ASG.

    Through Friday June 23rd,

    Above White Sox Average:

    1. Benintendi .341
    2. Remillard .333
    3. Vaughn .325
    4. Robert Junior .321
    5. Frazier .317
    6. Grandal .315
    7. Jimenez .314
    8. Sheets .303

    Below White Sox Average:

    1. Anderson .284
    2. Haseley .282
    3. Moncada .279
    4. Burger .275
    5. Andrus .275
    6. Colas .265
    7. Alberto .261
    8. Perez .250
    9. Gonzalez .208
    10. Zavala .189
    11. Sosa .145

    Using the White Sox average is quite generous when the league average for OBP is .320. Only 1 regular in the lineup could have a bad week and remain above average. You'll never be a good offensive team when that's the case.
