It's gotta be that, otherwise his fall doesn't make much sense at all.

And Cease's FG page says he's greatly improved this year.

If any pitcher has a bad start they're trash and must be thought of as such by the industry and sold for scraps. I get being a contrarian, but like, dude.

It's a thought, mostly a dumb one. Joc has been bad this year, and in no way costs Cease+.

Although this is just a proposal from a caller on the Score, it's comically bad and figured it should be shared if anyone is looking for a good laugh this afternoon.

So maybe not 4-6 weeks anymore?

The money aspect doesn't matter though, since they're just paying him to go away now as a sunk cost. Goodwin is currently providing value with the bat, Eaton hasn't since April. Eaton is (probably) better defensively than Goodwin, but Engel and Hamilton are better than the both of them defensively. To me, it came down to this. Do you want output with the bat or the glove right now with your other OFer? This move seems more about having the better hitter right now available in the OF rotation/off the bench over riding with the worse hitting, but slight defensive upgrade. When Eloy and Robert come back, I don't picture Goodwin sticking around all that long, but that's also assuming relative health of the OFers on the roster now.

At this point Goodwin is the superior player, so it makes sense to keep him over Spanky.

I know everyone is hurt, but what a lineup.

I'd never thought I'd see the day where Trevor Story isn't needed on the White Sox because Leury Garcia has now got his batting average up to .251.

I think Eaton is only around until Engel, Eloy, and Robert come back. I think Hamilton and what he brings to the club will stick around, and if Goodwin continues to hit, I think he's a fine 5thish OF type. Eaton is here because they literally need someone capable of playing in the OF, and with all the injuries, there just aren't all that many better options right now.
