But it would really behoove him, the White Sox, to figure it out well enough to go five innings on a reliable basis because they really need somebody like that because if...

It's not him, and David Sandlin, we'll see who he's replacing, but they might need everybody who's currently in the rotation to hold their spots for a while.

Yeah, I think there's always cases on both sides of the ball where hitters or pitchers are just too talented for what either, you know, pitchers are throwing or what, you know, hitters are seeing.

Like, yeah, I would say the position player equivalent would be like Avisiel Garcia of just somebody who every time he went to AAA, he was hitting 340 and slugging 550 and just...

They couldn't do anything to him.

And it was like years of hard earned progress for him where he finally had an all-star year and had some productive years with the White Sox and Milwaukee.

And I think even with the Rays.

And it just took him a long time to just register what he was seeing and combat what pitchers were doing to him well enough.

And yeah, I think with Schultz, it's just...

The extreme heights, the really good sweeper, the two fastballs.

You don't see many guys like that at AAA.

The hitters at AAA probably couldn't handle those guys in the majors or coming up from AA still haven't seen many like him.

So he might get by a lot in the minor league levels on novelty alone.

So at that point, yeah, it's just a case where you need to call him up and he needs to figure it out.

And yeah, I think Cease is a good example of somebody who just...

Yeah, it's just it seems like it's mechanics seems like it's kind of an inning to inning thing where he has some innings where it looks pretty simple and he gets by on a 94 mile per hour fastball, which plays up and then a slider that you really can grab strikes or be a wipeout pitch and

he gets some goofy swings and misses.

And then he has a string of batters where he gets off as the release points kind of askew and just does walking guys on five pitches or he needs to find a slider to get in the strike zone.

He can't, you know, for a few batters, he just needs to get back to the dugout to kind of recalibrate.

And those innings drag on for a while and eat his pitch count.
