Show Notes
It’s an early check-in with our friend and Charlotte mainstay Jonathan Lee on all things Knights, including intriguing bats and the predictable breakdown of the Triple-A rotation:
- Jonathan’s take on the 8-12 Charlotte start: .400 ball, he’ll take it!
- Danny Mendick’s amazing power stroke that forced him back onto the White Sox active roster
- Conversely, the jerking around of Lenyn Sosa and Oscar Colás, never truly able to settle in a spot or role
- Colson Montgomery’s bat has been flaccid, but his shortstop defense stout. Wasn’t it supposed to be the other way around?
- Carlos Pérez, Chuckie Robinson, and the curious catching conundrum with the Knights until Edgar Quero arrives
- A rotation in shambles, but with brighter days (returns from injury, promotions from Birmingham) ahead
- Justin Jirschele: Next White Sox manager? (he learned a lot from losing in 2023!)
- How Nick Nastrini and Jonathan Cannon rank as valuable Charlotte starters and future MLB rotation arms
