Here’s yet
another reason to despise baseball rebuilds: as of this morning, none of the
pitchers on the White Sox roster has a save to his credit this year.
The Sox started
the season with David Roberston as their closer and other options, including
Nate Jones, Tommy Kahnle and Zach Burdi.
Only Jones and Burdi are out with elbow injuries while Kahnle was traded
to the Yankees last month along with Robertson.
Journeyman Tyler Clippard came over from New York and filled the
closer’s role here, that is, until yesterday when he was traded to
Houston. So, we have no closers and no
real reason to go out and get one.
I mean, this
season isn’t about winning, right? In
that case, why bother with a catcher? Or
just get Tyler Flowers back, which would be the same thing. Oh, but what a great and glorious future the
rebuild promises. Next year, or the one after that, Yoan Moncada won’t be
striking out five straight times like he did last week. At least, I hope he won’t.
