Take 10 with Tim – May 30, 2025 – 9:30/8:30 am - 45 minutes to an hour

1.We briefly discussed Gavin Sheets on Sunday and I got a note from one of our Patreon members that said he changed his swing and this was real. Let’s explore and see if he’s right.

2.Hunter Renfroe was DFA’d. Does this mean that we are closer to Jac Caglianone time?


3.Veteran pitchers not living up to expectations. What do we do? Sit, start or trade at any cost.

1)Dylan Cease (SD, ADP=11, Rank=107) – 59 IP, 1 win, 72Ks, 4.58 ERA, 1.254 WHIP
2)Zac Gallen (AZ, ADP=47, Rank=126) – 66.2 IP, 3 wins, 66Ks, 5.54 ERA, 1.395 WHIP
3)Shane Baz (TB, ADP=72, Rank=116) – 54.2 IP, 4 wins, 52Ks, 4.94 ERA, 1.390 WHIP
4)Lucas Giolito (Bos, ADP=158, Rank=205) – 27.1, IP, 1 win, 23K,s 5.27 ERA, 1.427 WHIP
5)Sandy Alcantara (Mia, ADP=55, Rank=206) – 51 IP, 2 wins, 40Ks, 8.47 ERA, 8.47 ERA, 1.667 WHIP

4.Tanner Scott. What the heck? He’s blown three of his last five chances, giving up 9 runs in 4.2 IP. Is this a bad streak or time for a closer change in Los Angeles? If a change, who would you speculate on?

5.Lane Thomas is suffering from plantar fasciitis, which can be very painful and may involve a lengthy recovery time to relieve the pain. They can’t go back to Jhonkensky Noel. Chase DeLauter is back and playing after yet another stint on the IL. What about Mr. DeLauter as a replacement if Thomas ends up on the IL?

6.Over/Under game

1)Bobby Witt Jr. – 20 HRs – He has five.
2)Byron Buxton – 500 PAs – He has 173
3)Andy Pages – 25 HRs – He has nine
4)PCA – 30/30 – He has 14 HR and 16 SB
5)Ryan O’Hearn – 25 home runs and a .300 BA – He has 9 HR and is hitting .340
6)Jackson Chourio – 26 walks (one a week). He has nine
7)Any pitcher – 20 wins – Who gets the closest?
8)Tarik Skubal – 250 strikeouts – He has 92
9)Robert Suarez – 40 saves
10)Rockies Wins – 41 (number the White Sox won last season) – They have nine
