Recalculating

What to make of one series that finds the White Sox 1-2 after yesterday’s 3-2 loss to the Angels? Well, the team ERA stands at 1.00, which is pretty much to die for. Oh, but the team batting average. When you throw out a bunch of guys who “hit” at a .196 clip, there’s trouble in River City, my friends. Now, let’s turn our attention to Triple-A Charlotte, where the Knights are 3-0 after sweeping Gwinnett. Top prospects Edgar Quero and Kyle Teel had themselves quite a weekend; Quero went 5-for-11 and Teel 6-for-12 with an eye-popping nine RBIs. And these guys aren’t in the majors, why, exactly? As for Colson Montgomery, look out below. The not-so-long-ago gem of the organization is already slumping, as evidenced by a .077 BA (1-for-13) with a stomach-turning nine strikeouts. Montgomery hasn’t hit above .244 since his promotion Double-A Brimingham during the 2023 season. This is the Sox prospect I expect to see on the move soon. Back to Double-A.
