Is it really going to be a surprise if and when Crochet hits the DL at some point this season? Obviously we all hope it doesn’t happen but there is a high chance of it happening.

He looked great though yesterday, and it would make his starts worth watching if he can stay healthy.

March 29, 20242 yr Two backward K's for Monty. Both strike 3 calls were very close, very good pitches. I guess you like his patience but he's gotta swing the bat too.

March 29, 20242 yr Is it common to go into series with four total infielders, or are the rosters pretty fluid to cover even a day or two injury?

As has been pointed out, a pitcher starts rehabbing about 2 months after surgery. Please post his doctor's medical opinion, or just stop.

As has been pointed out, the average time for a pitcher to make their first appearance is just under 18 months. No big league pitcher has come back from TJS in that short of a period and thrown more than about 10 innings since 2019 as far as I could find. What's actually ironic is that in January 2023, I wrote clearly that there was a smarter plan for Crochet - sending him to the minors, bringing him along slowly, and I specifically predicted that the White Sox would do the exact opposite, rush him back by May and he'd wind up just like one of the guys who threw under 10 innings. It could never have been more obvious how it was going to go. It
March 29, 20242 yr 5 hours ago, Timmy U said: 7 guys over 30 on that roster plus a handful of 29 year-olds. Woo! If all the prospects are going to be at Birmingham, I wonder why they promoted Colson. Maybe they wanted him to focus on power in that launching pad. Gonna be interesting who plays short at AA. Popeye’s best position by far is 2b. Any chance Baldwin makes it to AA? Baldwin might be the shortstop in AA. Rodriguez will join Charlotte. Hes out dealing with a family matter. 5 hours ago, WestEddy said: No Terrell Tatum, Yoelqui Cespedes, Jake Eder or Ky Bush, either. AA, A+ & A opening days are April 5.

March 29, 20242 yr God we really busted out with all of our cuban post Robert signings. Sucks to not even get a single utility guy out of it.
