Then I'm guessing the White Sox aren't ruing trying to slip Rolison through waivers. 

You know better than to judge a pitcher by one single appearance in AZ of all places...might as well be Charlotte.

 

Is Clevinger going to win the By Young with Pitt since he hasn't allowed a run this spring in Florida?

Yeah, that's exactly why the article is silly. The premise was using a whopping two scoreless innings as evidence that the Sox would regret the loss of a guy who had been riding the waiver wire.

Meanwhile the Sox have multiple lefties who have thrown a whole THREE scoreless innings! With multiple strikeouts/inning instead of Rolinson's 0!

Like @WestEddy said, it's just filler content. If they kept Rolison over Eisert, you could write the same article and arguably have a better case (Eisert is slightly younger with an additional year, and has been better)

I didn't judge a pitcher by a single appearance. I just said it was funny that the subject was getting lit up as the writer posted his article. The true definition of irony. A result that is the exact opposite of that which was intended, almost as if being mocked by fate.

Thanks for the article. It was content-y. I post stuff, too. Most of it is thumb-twiddling until the actual games start. I jones for any actual reporting. Phalen turns out a bunch of this stuff. The "Here's a Move the Sox Should Consider Making" article about a guy put on waivers. Here's one about Eloy. 

White Sox fans might cringe at slugging disappointment's Blue Jays comeback bid

Quote

It’s only been three games for Jimenez, but the big outfielder is 5-for-8 with two doubles and a homer in the early going. He’s never going to provide much value defensively, but he’s shown the ability to be a middle-of-the-order bat in the past.

It's all good.

Except former first round draft picks never die...especially in the Sox system.

See Kelenic.

Sox probably lead MLB in former Top 100 prospects since 2016/17 to hit their roster from other organizations.

Maybe he should put out a White Sox trade half their roster for Skubal article...

There has been at least 20-30 proposed Skubal trade articles the last months.

Most of them at least more realistically pair him with the Dodgers.
