@TheBigHurt_35 I just showed my 6 year old white Sox son this picture of the best White Sox player ever.
His response: Is that AI?
Me: No, that’s Frank
Him: But, how’s his muscles so big?
Sox shouldn’t rush Braden.
AAA Total: .290/.368/.462, .830 OPS
Home: 1.065 OPS, 3 HR
Away: .609 OPS, 0 HR, 29.6% K rate
Charlotte stats are doing a lot of the work. Before a call-up, I’d want power to travel, road K rate settle, and the away OPS look playable for a few weeks.
As much as I'd like Braden Montgomery to have a successful career, he is unfortunately destined to fail because he is hitting much better in Charlotte (.356/.442/.622) (fake, doesn't count) than he is on the road at AAA (.204/.286/.318) (real).

1:12 is where my concern with how Roch’s stance and leg kick will play. If feels like Paulie is being nice about it the leg kick when he switches the messaging to head movement. If not, Roch’s head movement seems fine.
@HBreak8898 Again, it’s the stance into the leg kick that concerns me. Not just the leg kick itself. And again, I’d happily be wrong or have my opinion changed with more edu. on why the wide stance and transition won’t be a problem. Vargas and Mune don’t require the same pre-swing mechanics.
