fair enough for game 1 or 2. I'm more worried longterm that he hasn't shown the ability to get through innings on lower pitch counts.
His problem had always been health If he had always been healthy he would likely be our #2 prospect behind only Correa Can't over react good or bad depending on how tonight goes, but he definitely has Ace potential

If healthy, he is better than McCuller. Many scouts had him ahead of McCuller and Appel when they pitch together in A ball.
Moran will not hit for power, he is a Magadan type of hitter, but is exactly what we need, a guy hitting .280-.290 with an OBP of .350 to .370
He's hitting .276 in AA with an OBP of .322. Not only do you think he's ready to come up, but you think he'll far exceed his AA numbers in the majors? Also, your favorite player's last name has an 's' on the end of it.
We need a win for sure but who feels good about the prospects we finally have up? Losing streak hurts but I'm excited these names are finally here.
Great lineup. We're not even complete yet. Going forward, It's great we were hitting HR's but we need to go deeper into counts and even out our small ball game.

Sheesh... how many lefties to the White Sox have???? 6 games this year... all lefty starters (granted, we're in re-runs now with Rodon and Quintana).
Last month, so the past 7 games? Yeah i guess he did go over .300 going 7 for 23 (.304), but so far he has gone 0-2. I like Moran, but I would like to see him hit better.
