How do the White Sox stack up against other AL playoff teams pitching-wise? It feels like their bullpen never got fully sorted out and their once-vaunted starting rotation is falling apart, but other teams have their own struggles so I’m not sure if these problems are unique.
What is your assessment of how much Engel will be an option in RF? How does that affect where Leury will play and where (if?) Hernandez will play? And who is the backup infielder?
The Sox finished 28th in MiLB winning percentage this year. In 2019 their MiLB winning percentage was 19th. I know minor league wins and losses are secondary to player development. That being said are there any changes that you would like to see the Sox make in their player development/farm system this off-season?
76:28: Bonus P.O. Sox (Patreon-only)
Does Keuchel deserve a roster spot? (no) If he’s held off, who would/could be placed on? I would prefer Sheets bat to Keuchel mop-up.
Does Marshall still have a chance to be named to the team if they gat past the first series? And Should I wear my Sox Machine hat to the first blackout game?
