There are a lot fewer veterans down in the pen, and Clevinger's now the closer, more or less. That's a recipe for disaster, if ever there was one.

ChiSox59 Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 On 3/30/2025 at 11:39 PM, Chicago White Sox said: The poster said we should send him down to AAA after three games. Sosa is not the guy replacing him on the 26 man roster. He may get more at-bats as a result but he should be getting those at the expense of Maton (and Amaya) and not Baldwin. Both guys are going to be needed if we want any semblance of a competent offense. Expand While I generally agree there is no reason to give up on Baldwin 1 series in, the guy does need to field the ball if he wants to play in the big leagues. He looked like an absolute butcher at 2B today and extremely uncomfortable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is probably because he played 5-6 different positions in the spring and hasn't worked a whole lot with Amaya...that chemistry is something you only develop playing day after day with someone for weeks at a time, not just getting thrown out there in 30's and 40's temperatures in April across the Midwest and Rust Belt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Braden Montgomery is at least two years away...and is the closest to a "future star" with Colson's prospect status fading by the week. Of course, you're referring to Teel and Quero's looming presence in Charlotte as an "alignment," whatever that even means. It's basically all on the Big 3 starters, along with Burke and now Shane Smith...to transform the franchise into a .500ish/competitive team. We don't even have a starting pitching niche/depth advantage with all the UCL injuries that have occurred over the past 12 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
