So, yeah, it's kind of calling out for his skill set and profile.
And
Even if it doesn't work out, it's a worthwhile experience just to see, based on what he'd done at AAA, seeing if it works.
And if it continues to work, he's going to be immensely popular.
And we saw it in the first game, just how everybody seems to rally around him when he's in a clubhouse, in a dugout.
Yeah, he went down to see UCLA and Rock Cholowski, still the number one ranked prospect on most draft boards and trying to figure out where he is.
And it's a it's a mixed bag right now.
Like defensively, he's fine.
The skill set is still there.
The strength is there.
But, you know, Josh says that he's kind of in between swings right now and he's not really driving the UCLA offense.
And
I think for White Sox fans who are hoping for what they thought when the draft lottery happened of just looking for a surefire number one pick, no brainer.
I think Chlowski is still that guy in terms of the draft boards being number one, but he's not having the kind of performance to where he's running away with it or cementing it or kind of closing off avenues for other opportunities for the White Sox to draft a high school shortstop or something like that.
I will say that, you know, when it comes to prospects like Chalowski who build up so much hype in their sophomore year and then have like an OK by their standards junior year, it reminds me a lot about Carlos Rodon when he was supposed to be the top overall pick out of NC State.
Had a shorter season and wasn't as effective.
A few more walks.
The White Sox had the third pick that year.
Everybody thought, oh, there's no way they're getting Rodan.
He's the first pick overall.
