Teel started as catcher in 58% of their games after he was called up. 58% of 162 is 94 games or so...maybe its closer to 60% of the starting time.

caulfield12 Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/47909756/mlb-2026-most-surprising-offseason-decision-all-30-teams White Sox predicted at 61-101 and 28th. Very informative piece that provides some key insiderish insights on most teams and their offseasons. Most have the Sox at 65-67 wins...and all the recent optimism has pushed others into the 70s for win totals, but this is kind of a wake up call that much heavy lifting still remains in Year 3.25 of the rebuild.

Other entities have models that run simulations. Is this guy just making it up? They don't explain it anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty standard. https://www.espn.co.uk/mlb/story/_/id/47561030/2026-free-agency-mlb-30-teams-stock-watch-midwinter-progress-report This was before the offseason. Same author has run these Stock Watch reports for a number of years. Sox were projected at 60-102. So have moved up one win based on the offseason. Seems like it's quite similar to FG and the old 538.com/Nate Silver projection models that provide playoff odds updated after every single result during the season. Author remains optimistic generally despite 28th/29th rankings for the Sox. Catching Minnesota won't be as easy as previously thought last trade deadline...unless Ryan/Lopez/Buxton get traded.

Except they didn't even get the two playoff seasons like the Sox before rebuilding/retooling yet again. Snake bitten franchise since 2019 WS with Soto leaving and Rendon/Strasburg falling off the face of the earth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the perfect usage if they’re a contending team. Problem is they aren’t. Maybe Quero will just mash facing mostly lefties and raise his trade value.
