I thought he had Covid end of February or something but if he’s over it by now and in camp, I don’t think it would be much of a factor.

Just listened briefly. Was at 97 again. Clevinger got totally destroyed, fwiw. Did that pulled early from inning, return start of next and got pulled again trick. TA7 on Sox lineup, pre-Vaughn injury "I would hate to be a pitcher. From top to bottom, you are going to be competing every at-bat," Anderson told me during a recent conversation. "If you miss your spots, and guys are having a good day, it's going to be a long day. Guys are going to pretty much get you. "We have some good hitters, some good solid contact hitters who will always put the bat on the ball. We got some speed in there, some power. We've got a little bit of everything. Guys are going to give you some good ABs. We got another year under our belt, so a lot more mature and kind of now we understand our plan and what we are trying to do. "You guys are going to see a little bit of growth," Anderson said. "I don't know how much. But it's been another year so definitely some growth in there." From Scott Merkin’s predictably positive MLB.com article…”Even without the hard-hitting Vaughn, though, this shapes up as the most talented White Sox lineup I've covered in 20 years on the beat for MLB.com, with all apologies to the 2006 crew.” What, nothing about churros, craft brews and a slew of spectacular sponsor promotional giveaway nights?

Yeah, we can never have enough of these guys. Of course, we could have just paid legit money for Taylor and not had to juggle so many question marks in the line-up.

ChiSox59 Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Didn't want to start its own thread, but it merits discussion at this point. WTF is the plan with Kopech? He hasn't pitched in a spring training game and Opening Day is now 9 days away. His first turn through the rotation is 2 weeks away. At this point, it seems highly unlikely that he'll be making that start. Is he going to start the season in the pen? On the IL? Obviously the Sox cannot let Kopech just go out and pitch unimpeded from April on as he'll need to be shut down by August. So I think some slow play and rest through the season is coming, and is warranted. We need his arm in October. But the fact he hasn't even started ramping up (in games) makes me think we won't be seeing Kopech in the rotation until at least May.
