Ducksnort Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 I wish more pitchers wouldn't shake off the catcher and just trust their stuff. Especially young ones like Gio, even if he has been around for a little while now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Giolito actually getting some swings and misses on fastball. Huge development Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Parkman Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Love that Giolito is getting tons of swings and misses on the fastball. That was a huge problem in ST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose Abreu Posted August 23, 2017 Author Share Posted August 23, 2017 (edited) Engel really isn't a MLB player unless he makes drastic, and I mean really drastic, strides at the plate. I don't get why people are penciling him into the starting outfield next year over guys like Leury, Willy (who have actually shown flashes of being good MLB hitters), Cordell, etc. His defense is great but that means nothing if your OPS is in the .500s Edited August 23, 2017 by Jose Abreu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the allure of Engel, but I just don't see him ever putting it together offensively. Delmonico and Leury both have a chance to be part of the next good Sox team in some capacity.
