Oh, That Rebuild


It’s all about the learning.  On Tuesday, Lucas Giolito of the White Sox went six innings against the Indians, giving up five runs, all earned on nine hits, including two doubles and two home runs.  But here’s the positive—Giolito didn’t walk anybody.  Go, rebuild!  As for yesterday, Reynaldo Lopez went 2-2/3 innings, more than enough time for him to yield seven earned runs on eight hits.  But this is a rebuild year, so everything’s a mulligan.  Yea, rebuild!

Tim Anderson and Yoan Moncada are the Sox double-play combination of the future.  Anderson made his tenth error at short yesterday while Moncada bobbled number five.  Mulligan.  Daniel Palka butchered another ball in right field.  Mulligan.  Adam Engel has struck out 43 times in 140 at-bats.  Mulligan.

On Tuesday, 19-year old Juan Soto collected three hits in the Nationals’ win over the Orioles.  Meanwhile, 21-year old Eloy Jimenez, the Sox #1 prospect and #3 in all of baseball according to MLB.com (Fernando Tatis is #7, but we traded him for James Shields), toils away at AA Birmingham.  Despite hitting .333 with 36 RBIs (second-best in the Southern League), Jiminez has to wait his turn.  GM Rick Hahn has a plan.
Mulligan.
