Watched Stroman pitch for the Yankems today and couldn't help noticing his similarities to Bello. I guess if Bello ceilinged out to a Marcus Stroman, that wouldn't be too bad.
The 2-man offense known as the Yankems lost 2 of 3 against Tampa, so the SOX right now are only 2 games behind them in the loss column. BTW, the Yankems' BP is nothing to write home about.
The main problem, imho, is the 30 teams in MLB. Too many teams and not enough true talent, which uncovers the overflow of mediocrity in today's game.
This is true in the other 3 major team sports, but it seems to be more exposed in baseball.
