Having attended a few White Sox games and watched the occasional one as well,  this is very true.  That team didn’t lose 121 games by playing stellar defense…

How's that vaunted BoSox defense? How'd the ChiSox play against the BoSox?

I’ve been railing about our defense all offseason, although limiting it to corner infield and catcher.  I think Story will be leaps and bounds ahead of Rafaela at SS.  2b is a mystery but I think we have good candidates in house.  (And why Bregman at 2b?  Do the Sox care that little about defense on purpose?)

I prefer the DHern example to Ort.

First 3 seasons (79 IP)

14.2 K/9

Only 7 hits per 9 IP

7.4 BB/9 was the killer

In the last 100 years of MLB, there have been 2865 pitchers with 80+ IP:

14.2 would rank 6th. (His 13.8 K/9 ranks 8th, all time. His 7.4 BB/9 ranks 8th worst!)

Trade Casas for pitching. Raffy is DH.

DHern wasn't a STUFF guy though.

Yes, it's annoying. Be more agreeable.

Say something right! LOL.

(BTW, I've found myself agreeing with you more and more. It's about time you started coming over to the right side.)
