Awful White Sox MLB roster, but some rays of hope early on the farm

The pitchers received for Cease have been great (OF Zavala is struggling):

- Wilson in the majors has an ERA below 2
- Thorpe: 18 innings, 1ER, 0.78 WHIP
- Iriarte: 8 innings, 0ER, 1.25 WHIP

Some other recent trade assets and draftees doing well:
- E. Quero: .300 avg 1.000+ OPS as a 21 yo in AA
- Jacob Gonzalez is actually hitting a bit (.278, .867 OPS)
- Ky Bush a few solid outings
- Brooks Baldwin has been great in AA (.400, 1.064 OPS)
- Aldrin Batista 2 good outings at Winston
- Nastrini, Leasure, and Cannon solid initial outings in the bigs

That said: Colson, Ramos, Pallette, and Eder are on the struggle train

Schultz has been incredible save for 1 awful inning that supposedly he got squeezed big time

Shutout again. This is the worst MLB team in quite some time. Sell, Jerry*

I’m curious what their opponents’ ERA is against this team

Just in (all) runs alone, it’s around 2.00

And because of getting the coveted 5th slot this year in the draft, they can draft no higher than 10

25 point comeback for the win will just make all that much sweeter*

That rule change was way too big of an over correction, IMO

If you want to prevent back to back #1 picks that is sensible, but top 5 is too much.

When something is happening, young people like to say it’s “lit.”

It seems absolutely crazy*

The Sox tanked with absolutely no incentive.

Although I’m not convinced they think they weren’t putting a competitive team on the field.

They're still signing the Tommy Phams and Mike Clevingers of the world

I truly believe Getz was blindsided by the Frankenstein he built. It's amazing. So much more than I could've ever dreamed up.

I can kinda get the point, but it is supposed to penalize teams that 'win' the lottery

Whereas it also penalize teams that 'lose' the lottery. The Sox were the 3rd worst team and FELL in the lottery to 5th. But, bc it's a top 6 pick, they get penalized as well. That makes no sense

So, instead of picking 3rd and 1st as by record, they'll pick 5th and 10th, which really sucks
