Gritty McHustle Alert!

That's the subject heading of reader Karl's e-mail to me about this piece, and I see no reason to change it on this blog.

Erstad, playing regularly and without pain for the first time since 2005, has been exactly what Williams had hoped he would be. He is not one of the White Sox's offensive problems, batting .375 since April 20, and doing all the smart and gritty things that make him valuable. "Love him," Williams said. "Every day, the epitome of the grinder comes out to win a ballgame."

Erstad in 93 AB so far: .258/.307/.366. EqA of .256, or slightly below league average. So, as Karl pointed out, yes, that is probably exactly what Williams had hoped Erstad would be. (Ersty's EqA is above his 90th percentile PECOTA projection, so don't worry, it will probably go down.

Also, if you're from the NE, like me, this is the epitome of the grinder:

This grinder's Deliciousness EqA is like .308.
