If there is an issue already, they are in deep poo. Shouldn’t he at least be throwing in games by now? Do you think there is a chance he goes to the minors to build up early?

Was at 97 again. Clevinger got totally destroyed, fwiw. Did that pulled early from inning, return start of next and got pulled again trick. TA7 on Sox lineup, pre-Vaughn injury "I would hate to be a pitcher. From top to bottom, you are going to be competing every at-bat," Anderson told me during a recent conversation. "If you miss your spots, and guys are having a good day, it's going to be a long day. Guys are going to pretty much get you. "We have some good hitters, some good solid contact hitters who will always put the bat on the ball. We got some speed in there, some power. We've got a little bit of everything. Guys are going to give you some good ABs. We got another year under our belt, so a lot more mature and kind of now we understand our plan and what we are trying to do. "You guys are going to see a little bit of growth," Anderson said. "I don't know how much. But it's been another year so definitely some growth in there." From Scott Merkin’s predictably positive MLB.com article…”Even without the hard-hitting Vaughn, though, this shapes up as the most talented White Sox lineup I've covered in 20 years on the beat for MLB.com, with all apologies to the 2006 crew.” What, nothing about churros, craft brews and a slew of spectacular sponsor promotional giveaway nights?

Maybe they are doing all sidework just to build the arm? I would doubt they send him down. They seem to want thise limited innings in the MLB.

TA7 just carrying water for the organization. We all know this lineup has too many holes to make oitchers afraid.

March 30, 20223 yr Interesting read in the middle of this article with Gio and Liam talking about the team getting complacent. https://theathletic.com/3219442/2022/03/30/rosenthal-how-mark-mcgwire-helped-mariners-jarred-kelenic-christian-yelich-looking-to-rebound-plus-braves-pitchcom-and-more/
March 30, 20223 yr Didn't want to start its own thread, but it merits discussion at this point. WTF is the plan with Kopech? He hasn't pitched in a spring training game and Opening Day is now 9 days away. His first turn through the rotation is 2 weeks away. At this point, it seems highly unlikely that he'll be making that start. Is he going to start the season in the pen? On the IL? Obviously the Sox cannot let Kopech just go out and pitch unimpeded from April on as he'll need to be shut down by August. So I think some slow play and rest through the season is coming, and is warranted. We need his arm in October. But the fact he hasn't even started ramping up (in games) makes me think we won't be seeing Kopech in the rotation until at least May.
