Twenty-Three Skiddoo: Danny Mendick

[Edgy MD]

You know who you haven't gotten a Skidoo from yet? You haven't gotten one from David Peterson, Tylor Megill, Ronny Mauricio, or Tomás Nido.



But you're getting one from me. Because despite my non-roster status, my relative anonymity, and my hugely suggestive name, ZiPS seems to think I'm somebody. And after spending parts of four seasons utility infielding for the Chicago White Sox, maybe they're right. After having my best season in 2022, they've got me down for a hard-to-ignore-for-a-non-roster-guy 1.3 WAR in 2023. And producing a couple of decent moments this spring, I'm still around. I've been trying to put a whammy on Luis Guillorme, but after coming off the bench to play second and left field today and going 0-for-2 with 3 lobs, maybe I should concentrate on myself.



You oughta, also. Concentrate on me and tell me what you see. Maybe I'll make you forget Brandon Drury.
