April 29, 20214 yr Author Just now, Jack Parkman said: Upper back=shoulder pretty much. So shocked to see you with this take.

He has a long way to go to be a starter. Command isn't there and needs to throw his slider and change more because his fastball hasn't been as effective this year.
April 29, 20214 yr The way Crochet goes down injured makes me wonder if the Sox sent him down to stretch out to be a starter, would he ever make it back?

April 29, 20214 yr 29 minutes ago, Jack Parkman said: Upper back=shoulder pretty much. uh, no, not really.
April 29, 20214 yr I have felt that Crochet was used on the big league to simply mange him until AAA starts and use that big arm when needed. That has not worked. Send him to AAA and maybe add him in September.

Tony wants Hamilton and Lamb as well. You can have an argument for Hamilton as a fifth OF based on defense and PR, and go with 13 pitchers, but there is no valid argument for keeping Lamb, or batting Hamilton late in a game when you are losing. 2020-2021 fWAR Engel 0.7 (36 Games) Mendick 0.6 (41 Games) <= Hasn't "earned playing time" or even a regular roster spot under La Russa "Earned playing time" per Tony La Russa's "gut" Hamilton 0.2 (40 games) Garcia 0.1 (31 Games) Lamb -0.1 (37 Games) Williams -1.1 (71 Games - 2019 & 2021) <= He's still around in Schaumburg Time for Hahn to man up and administer probiotics to the active roster.

April 29, 20214 yr I wonder if we’ll see a couple different “back strains” this year with Crochet and Kopech. Wouldn’t be a terrible idea.
