TitoMB345 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 THANK f***ING GOD! Holy s***, classic White Sox mismanagement. Wonder who Hahn had to bang to get this to happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Aug 17, 2016 -> 03:37 AM) Such a terrible handling of Fulmer. Just think of it as them limiting his innings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago White Sox Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Glad to see he's being sent down. He definitely needs more development time in the minors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Only about 5 weeks overdue. Hope he enjoyed his vacation in the majors. Only excuse I can accept is side sessions with Coop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerksticks Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 I like everything about how they handled Fulmer. Everything. Bullpen in Chicago wqs a perfect way to bite his innings but more importantly expose him to the quality of hitters in the majors. Plus the main man big daddy Coop got to spill his undeniable and unarguable wisdom into his ear. I can't wait to see the next version of Fulmer.

Coops track record over the past few years isn't impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, he never should've been called up in the first place. I hope this doesn't mean they're calling up Burdi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kitekrazy Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Maybe they need to stop this pattern of little minor league experience. Not everyone is Chris Sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerksticks Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I'm glad he was called up and stuffed in the pen. He learned he can get guys out up here but he also learned how much better he has to be. Now he knows. Nice job FO. Probably saved him a whole bunch of development time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will find out next spring Possible but I think it's more likely the brass wanted to show him how certain things he does won't work in the big leagues. Just seems like the only way calling him up early makes sense. The sox are aware of service time and developmental time and they chose this course of action. They know what they're doing with their pitching prospects. Amazing people doubt that, simply amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 With a guy like Burdi, if he is just blowing away AAA hitters, how is he going to get better? I understand the rushing guys crowd, but Fulmer was having no problems with AA guys at the time he was recalled. Burdi doesn't seem to be having problems with anyone now either. Chances are they will struggle here, but they and the team get a better idea of where they are at, and what needs to be improved. It obviously isn't a strategy for everybody, but if you are a better prospect and not really being challenged at your level, you aren't going to get better.
