Chicago White Sox Posted June 9, 2022 Author Share Posted June 9, 2022 Just now, fathom said: Yep he’s totally finished. He will end up like Keuchel where the Sox release him in late May next year. Have we ever seen a player fall off this quickly to this extent? I mean, the dude is barely walking even which is his calling card. Seems like more than just natural regression.

fathom Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 0-4 from the lefties against a RHP. I also can’t remember the last time a lefty homered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth 4 WAR and and had a wRC+ over 120 over 3 seasons and now is the worst hitter in baseball. I think Yoan might get his shit together eventually, but the longer it goes the more I wonder. It's weird how he's just lost it at 27 years old. Edited June 9, 2022 by Jack Parkman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Side Fireworks Man Posted June 9, 2022 Share Posted June 9, 2022 1 minute ago, fathom said: 3B, but he can’t play there because the worst hitter in baseball needs to play there But don't we have a hole at 2B? And doesn't that "worst hitter in baseball" also play 2B? If they need to get the worst hitter in baseball in the lineup for some reason, why not use him to plug the hole at 2B? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's weird how he's just lost it at 27 years old. Yoan is clearly not 100% and would be much better if healthy (how much so obviously TBD). It’s not clear if Grandal is hurting or impacted by offseason surgery, but perhaps there is something there. Neither guy walking is very weird though.
