Jordan Guerrero a callup candidate?

 

His strikeout numbers argue yes....he was 2nd in the SL to Kopech last I checked.

 

Do his peripherals argue for more success than his rather pedestrian ERA would indicate? Haven't followed him that closely.

Yes, his pedestrian ERA is pretty much due to bad BABIP luck in his first 5 starts. His 2.86 ERA in his last 7 starts is much more in line with his peripherals.

Which wrist did Moncada hurt?

 

There has to be something physically wrong with him to go through a streak like this...where he was well above a 900 OPS a month ago and now sub 800.

 

The best thing to do would be to shut him down (unless they can incontrovertibly prove no more damage can be done by playing through it)...for 2-3 weeks and bring him back when he's 100% healthy. This is the kind of issue that lingers on throughout the season if you're a Paul Konerko, because he could never sit due to the team competing every year.

After the first game of the DH on May 31st, (3 walks), Moncada was at a 902 OPS.

 

10 games later, he's fallen to a 791 (which is still not bad, obviously).

 

 

Only gotten hits in TWO of the last 10 games, so they were all bunched together, and that was 4 singles and a double, so the home run stroke has PROBABLY been affected by the wrist issue/s.

 

5/37=.135

 

Just 2 RBI's during that time frame, a double, 1 walk (tonight) and 12 K's. 2 runs scored. He has gotten a few stolen bases, but he's obviously not the same player as he was the first two months of the season.

 

 

Frankly, it's embarrassing a team with that amount of talent is 26-33.

 

And yeah, turned 22 the last week of May.

I assume you mean to AAA, in which case, he needs to do this for more than a month. He was shelled last year in AA (for some expected reasons), and struggled again in April before turning it around.

 

If you mean the majors, we're talking 2018 earliest.

No there doesn't. Players struggle from time to time, especially young ones. There could be some lingering thumb issues. Baseball players don't usually have the luxury of waiting for injuries to fully heal. But that isn't necessarily the case.

Shields went 5 innings, 4 hits, 2 runs, no walks, 5 ks. 72 pitches

 

I'm guessing that is his last rehab start.

 

I never really thought I would hear myself saying that the team needs him, but holy s*** do the White Sox need a guy who can pitch them 7 innings in a game.
