Which happens first for the White Sox?

_________________

Both are more likely to happen before 'Addy' wins an MVP

Moncada could win an MVP someday. After he hits free agency and is playing for a decent team.

Gordon Beckham.

IIRC, I don't think Hawk, who is probably as big a homer as there is in broadcasting, ever said Beckham would win an MVP.

Len Kasper said that about Russell, more than once.

Giolito is fucked up I dont know what happened

No, he said it about Joe Crede though. Which is actually a great comp for Russell. I remember that one, specifically.

And Keyser Soze, the best Sox fan in the business, said that about Beckham.

Hasnt he always been fucked up? His stock as a prospect seemed to be always yo-yoing even before the Sox acquired him.

His control has been off, but he's had some nice flashes of potential. First full season after a major adjustment to his mechanics.

Giolito is young and has had some control issues. Much better lately though. He'll be fine.

He also called Adam Engel a "future hall of famer" and has no problem with the .234 avg, .697 OPS, and the shoddy defense that Tim Anderson brings to the table daily. Pretty safe to say his talent evaluation skills are marginal at best.

Giolito's fastball isn't major league caliber. He's rotation filler.

Moncada could be great.

all of whom have been openly touted as MVP quality players by sabermatrician Len

Moncada through 81 games with the White Sox

.246 AVG, 14 HR, 16 2B, 3 3B, 37 RBI, 7 SB, 43 BB, 121 K, .344 OBP, .797 OPS, 116 OPS+, 2.4 WAR

Is Moncada still eligible for ROY?

When did he say that about Baez? That doesn't sound right.

If its something like "if the season ended today he could be MVP" that's not saying he could win one in a full season.

I’m pretty sure he said that about Baez like a month ago on the Score.

Something along the lines of “Now that he’s putting everything together I think you’re seeing the MVP potential long talked about with him.”

Could be wrong. Generally though if the question is did Len call _____ Cub player an MVP candidate the safe answer is yes.

After Len said Kerry Wood's number should be retired, I pretty much put zero stock in his baseball thoughts.

That's not predicting an MVP. That's saying years old projections about him being an MVP are not as crazy as they sounded when he was setting strike out records, but whatever. Len is definitely a homer and very big on POTENTIAL.

Maybe they will both happen this year.
