Why?We don’t even want those guys on the team if we can help it.Because if they get a couple of key injuries at the same time, Joe Rock is probably a more workable option than a not-100%, under-performing Wikelman Gonzalez.

It also could have been him having literally no control that lead me to that conclusion. He also went from 95-96 in his first inning to 92-93 on his second inning. He isn't ready for the majors. I'd rather him just work on his stuff in the minors.Schultz and Hagen Smith having apparently mediocre stuff is not something I predicted coming into the season.It's unbelievable really. The 1-inning drop off in mph is crazy. Smith practically falls off the mound after every pitch.Why do the Sox draft so many sidearm/low slot guys? Is that what Bannister orders? Getz? Shirley on his own? All of the above? And it was the same thing in the 2026 draft. Edited 2 hours ago2 hr by GreenSox

The guy has a 2 WHIP in both the minors and majors right now. Edited 1 hour ago1 hr by WhiteSox2023

I don't get it.1-5 pickBoston Smith only had a $50,000 bonus in the sixth round out of Wright State, pick 171. And no obvious position. Edited 1 hour ago1 hr by caulfield12
