The Chicago White Sox have another pitcher in their starting rotation who is starting to play well and may be the best pitcher on the staff. They aren’t winning many games, they are struggling to score and their defense is not anything close to being strong. They have problems that all the teams in MLB have but they have all the problems that the other teams have. Poor management, poor pitching, and a struggle to win games are everything that this club has.
It doesn’t appear that they are going to get instantly better anytime soon. That’s too bad.
The Chicago White Sox need some help and some players are slowly starting to come around to help. There are a handful of guys that can help them now and have been helping. Ever so quietly, several players are starting to show their stuff and perform better on a bad team. It’s hard to tell because the bad is masking the good but there are some good things about this White Sox team.
The White Sox starting pitching rotation is a little bit better than people give them credit for. There is one player on it, not named Garrett Crochet, who’s turning into an all-star caliber player. That player is Erick Fedde. The former KBO all-star pitcher has stepped it up and made himself the best pitcher in the White Sox starting rotation.
You need to only look at his last two starts to see just how good he has been. You also can look at his stats to see just how well he is doing, by the numbers. The statistics tell a story about his ever-increasingly good play on the mound but they don’t paint a complete picture of what this newly acquired asset has done and can do for the Sox.
But it doesn’t hurt to look at the numbers to see how well he’s progressing.
