NorthSideSox72 Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Only mild surprise to me is Soto, who I thought had a shot at the last bullpen slot. Looks like now it's either Ynoa or Luebke. Chris Beck sure has fallen off the radar. Crumbles when facing MLB hitters, though in his defense he is also coming off an injury and lots of missed time.

Beck seemed like a candidate for the pen as much as he was up last year. He didn't even make it past the first cut. To me that is a pretty big surprise with all of the other guys that could have been sent out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well even though he was cut (second cuts by the way), it doesn't mean he still can't appear in games for the MLB team this spring.

No chance they call up Lopez until late May/early June It would be a big mistake to start his service clock before we have to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could he win a job? Doubt it. They'll want the extra year with a full rotation already. He has more service time than Giolito, so he may actually spend a little more time in Charlotte.

With the young talent acquired and that developing in our system I think the future bodes well for the Sox. How long has it been since we could say that?

I think he'll quickly prove too good for high A hitters, although maybe they want him to be working on his off speed stuff in an environment where he'll have more immediate success.

According to beat writers, he showed a commitment to a routine and approach despite the bad start. That's a very encouraging sign, usually when players struggle they start to tinker and end up making things worse. The fact he did that bodes well for his development going forward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got better as camp went on, and there were less and less stiffs he was playing against. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenSox Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 Surprised by Fulmer; but I'm happy that they will give him additional time. I guess the Rule V guy is starter #5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
