Pick 6: How does Tristan Peters fit into the White Sox's future?

0:00Welcome back to Pick Six with high pain on 1043 the score. Somebody always has a stupid question. That is the voice of Mike Palm. He'll get a set up for the betting weekend, 844 from Circus Sports and Stadium Swim. Tristan Peters was named the AL Rookie of the Month. So given how Moonay Murakami has slumped, how conceivable is that Peters would end the season with a better rookie of the year, chance than Murakami and how does Peters fit into the future? Well I think that when you look at Tristan Peters, he fits well into the future because he's a guy that has become reliable. And so that's a question for the offseason, but I think right now he looks like, why would you move on from somebody like Tristan Peters or tried to upgrade? This is somebody who is a plus defender, who has come on and really been an offensive asset. You're talking about a guy who's hit for the cycle,

1:02who homeworked in five straight games and now is the AL Rookie of the Month for August. His war is considerably better and I know Moonay Murakami missed a month, which also he can't really overlook when you compare any best rookie seasons. He missed a month. Not, he was injured, it happens. But Tristan Peters' war is 3.9, Moonay's is 2.1. Tristan Peters is in all around play. I think that two things can be true. Murakami changed the White Sox trajectory this season with his early start and his presence and then line up with the way that he lengthened everything. Right now he's in a major slump. He had a terrible month of August needs to be moved down in the order. Tristan Peters had a terrible post all-star break, month of July, but is rebounded nicely. Sounds maybe even ridiculous to say, but as we sit here on February and September 4th,

2:05I think Tristan Peters is on his way to having a more impressive rookie season than the guy getting a lot of the rookie of the year, consideration earlier in the year. Moonay Murakami, even though Moonay leads the White Sox in home runs. I get confused sometimes. Didn't we ask a question maybe in this same exact spot, three or four days ago about extending Moonay Murakami? Like don't let this guy get away. Yes, okay, I just wanted to make sure that. You're paying attention, that's a good sign. I didn't screw that up. I know it's been a busy week, but I'm glad. I didn't screw that up. I didn't screw that up. Sometimes things get said off the air and sometimes things get said on the air and I get confused which part is which. Tristan Peters, good for him. What a story. And again, what a story the White Sox are. If you're outside of Chicago, are the White Sox the best story in baseball like from a worse to first type of thing?

3:06I mean, assuming, and we're gonna talk about this a little bit more, assuming they get to where they wanna get to which is at least the postseason, I don't know that anybody's ever had three consecutive hundred lost seasons and then made the postseason. This is a really good story. Tristan Peters is right there. If you're gonna give somebody some cash, it'd be Tristan Peters because you're not gonna have to back up the truck for this guy. Like this guy told his wife, I think, you'll look for a rental in Charlotte. That's where they thought they were going. They didn't think they were gonna be over at the rate this year. Unbelievably story. Yes, it is possible now that he could win rookie of the year. Like, it's the conversation because that we had on Monday that I was all in the boat to back up the brink truck and play mooney all the money because of being a star. And David tried to get me not to jump over the ledge, but I did. I'll stand on that. I'll stand on that. Yes, to see what Tristan Peters has done.

4:09He's played in more games, better batting average, better defensively and less strikeouts. And we're looking at a guy that has a better war as well. So yes, I think it's conceivable to do that and you have control as well. Years of control on him. So it's not inconceivable to think that Tristan Peters could take over that, but look where we are. Look how mooney started. Look where he's at now. But hats off to Tristan Peters for doing what he's done, man. It's been a phenomenal story, but the old man definitely deserves a spot on the south side for a good time. Bananas, I love them. Oh my God, what a question. What a question. Oh, that's the voice Joe Fortenbaugh. And I believe Les Grabsstein talking about Bananas, Tristan Peters' reference, pencil and paper out, 9.25. Not as usual time, but this morning,

5:10Joe Fortenbaugh, 9.25. The SEC has sued LSU on Thursday after the school ignored rules prohibiting NFL players who were cut from playing college football. This came after former tight end and former defensive tackles from Old Miss announced plans to join their former coach, Lane Kiffin at LSU after leaving NFL training camps. Should players who get cut by NFL teams be eligible to play college football. This is tough for me. I don't like this, but I understand it. It's all a lot of reading through the lines. If you're going to do this, like, yeah, if a guy doesn't sign a contract, but if you do sign a contract and you make a pro roster, college is over. We all know that. That's it. But this 2022 class, if they deserve to have a fifth year, I think it should be given to them straight and not trying to figure out how to kind of mask this

6:12and sneak it into an NFL camp. That's the part that gets me. Because I feel like once you go, you're going for a reason because you're trying to go to the next level. And to bring back, that just only hurts the guys that are trying to make the roster and play in college, especially those freshmen coming in, where you have given these guys another year. So yeah, if the rule, if you're giving it rule, this is not going to be a dust in every year thing. This is only for like still through that COVID, right? It's this is, I understand why we're asking the question. It's the biggest national story. It is, it has an umbrella over week one of college football. But this is specifically for the class of 2022. This is now for now. For now. For now, but you're opening the Pandora's Box. No, no, no, no, no. It is only for now. We are talking about a defensive tackle and a tight end.

7:13OK, we're not talking about quarterbacks. We're not talking about pass rushers. We're talking about two guys in this little tiny window and we're making the biggest, not we, the media is making this massive deal. You can say weeks. I haven't answered yet. OK, I mean, the short answer is, no, of course, not. But the problem is, is the NCAA, the real culprit in all of this is the NCAA. They changed the rules after the draft. They changed the rules after you had a declare for the draft and opened up Pandora's Box. Well, OK, Mr. Take a Deep Breath. There are about 42 players named in this lawsuit. That could be potentially affected by this. And yes, OK, you guys, you just want to shrug your shoulders and say, OK, not us, not now. This is, this is today's, this year's legal issue. What does this lead to? Every time anybody wants to find a favorable judge in their locale, then they can maybe

8:14have a ruling to ensure a temporary injunction. So maybe the guy who's transferring can stay eligible. Let's get down to the bottom line here. First of all, big picture, how the SEC enforces their own rules without NCAA assistance could be a precedent that set as well. The NCAA is toothless and powerless and irrelevant. But this is what it comes down to. First of all, why would you want to do this? You are a failed professional football player. I understand there's a lot of dore me involved because of the NIL that you are entitled to. But you've got guys, once you leave college a campus and once you enter the domain of professional football, the NFL, then you are an NFL player, ex-player, try out candidate, cut veteran, whatever you are. You are not a college football player any longer. So the moment that Desquad Wright or Xavier and Harris,

9:18or whoever the other 39 guys are in that lawsuit, went into an NFL camp, put on an NFL helmet, and tried to make an NFL roster. Good by college football forever. This is absurd. This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard to think that you want to be a NFL player and you chase your NFL dream and it gets shattered in front of you in the smithereens. And you know what, I'm going to go back to college football because Lane Kiffin's going to give me a hug. Go away, Lane Kiffin. You're bad for the sport. Goodness sakes, I hate this story. Okay, I'm done. Couldn't tell. I was awesome. I love it. All right, time to love it. We come back. Something that we can all agree on. Why sex and cubs? And they're playoff possibilities. Dustin raised a question that I dislike almost as much as my answer that I just gave. We'll talk about it next on the extra point. It's on page, Cogsports radio. 104, 3, the score.
