Yesterday, the As clobbered the
Tigers, 17-3. Ex-White Sox Marcus Semien
went one for six with three RBIs while ex-Sox Josh Phegley went four for five
with four RBIs. Phegley’s 26 RBIs on the
year leads all AL catchers. Ex-Sox
pitcher Chris Bassitt threw eight scoreless innings to pick up the win. On the season, Bassitt is 2-1 in five starts
with a 1.93 ERA.
The other day, Sox GM Rick Hahn
spouted gibberish about trading away possible NL Rookie of the Year Fernando
Tatis Jr. as part of a 2016 deal to land the immortal James Shields. Speaking to mlb.com, Hahn called the initial
signing of Tatis a “great success for our international scouting program.” And what do you call packaging him in that
trade, Rick?
Let’s see. Once upon a time, we had Semien, Bassitt,
Phegley and Tatis, then we all but gave them away for the likes of Jeff
Smardzija and Shields. If you didn’t
bust it in the first place, you wouldn’t need to rebuild it.
