Whit got his first SB and his first CS on April 11 against the ChiSox. Not sure which came first from the box score, but that means he's stolen 23 or 24 in a row without being caught. Quite remarkable given his good but not great speed.

But yeah, the team sux. I'm ready for an active trade deadline season and focusing on the progress of Witt, Pratto, Pasquantino, Olivares, Dungan, Heasley, Coleman and some others at High A that are performing well. As bad as they've been, with Witt at 3B, Pratto at 1B, Mondi healthy (we can dream right?), Whit at 2B, Santana at DH, and perhaps a FA CF, there is some hope for improvement in 2022. The biggest problem with contention in 2022 is the regression of the young SP.
