I hate you do this to me but while the minors have had some guys perform well, it’s still very mediocre.  Lack of anything close to MLB-ready pitching is going to hurt next year.

I don't disagree, but they've had a lot of guys in the low minors take steps forward this year. But yeah, most of the help is still 2-3 years away.

He had something ridiculous like a 40% strikeout rate when he went on the covid IL. People hate that excuse, but it's exactly when his production cratered.

Yep, and neither he nor Moncada has been the same since they had covid in-season. Gio had covid in the winter as well IIRC.

Great, we have arguably the two players most impacted by it in the majors

I know, it's just shitty white sox luck. 

I know people don't want to admit it, but long covid is very real. Nobody is immune, not even pro athletes. Can hit anyone at any time if infected.

He was still effective and missed a ton of bats after the sticky stuff ban. I really don't think that's it.

He just doesn't have a good enough breaking pitch to make up for the loss in velocity on the FB. 

He's basically a FB/Change pitcher.   When he was 94-96, he'd could live this way on 2 pitches.
