fathom Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 My guess is Hector Santiago or Jesse Chavez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Judging by this FA period my guess is they’ll be on a minor league deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac9001 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 It would make for good TV if they just randomly throw a new guy out there every 5th day. Covey, Danish, Cooper, Guerrero, Stephens, Adams, next man up. I'm going to be optimistic and say Rodon is ready by May. Just throw Covey or Danish out there and let them take a beating for a few turns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Clay Buchholz, after the Sox sign him to a minor league deal, $4M if he makes the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eminor3rd Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I think John Danks still has a year left on his deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sacamano Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 QUOTE (fathom @ Jan 10, 2018 -> 05:29 PM) My guess is Hector Santiago or Jesse Chavez Yeah probably. Add Tillman to this list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know...that sounds like a good marketing plan. Have a fan lottery where they can bid to pitch an inning for the Sox. Every fifth day they would just roll out a string of fans to throw an inning at a time. Line up 5-10 fans per game to cover the first five innings. Have the bullpen cover the rest.

Yeah there has. And I guess he wants a 1-year deal. He should probably go somewhere like Minnesota where the team can be competitive again and the ballpark could help his numbers.

Kyyle23 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Covey time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sacamano Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 11, 2018 -> 09:13 AM) Covey time I've got him pegged for long-reliever/spot starter at time to give guys more rest. More possibly though, he doesn't make the team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
he gone. Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Give me whoever has the best flipping upside. If I had to rank that? I think Bucholz is the type of guy that Coop could work with. And then once Rodon is back, you flip him to the bullpen. We've seen renaissance's before like this where all of a sudden maybe he's worth a bunch to the Sox. I actually had my eye on Henry Owens before he signed elsewhere. Great arm, no control. I really wanted to stockpile guys like that in this offseason and so far we haven't. Rubby De La Rosa, Owens, Bucholz. Why the hell not. After that I'd go with the Santiago/Tillman type of guy. Jesse Chavez does me no good. He fills a hole like Shields. He'll give you innings, but to me, you can get those innings and wins elsewhere. And I actually don't mind Chavez, hes been on my fantasy teams for spot starts for the past few years, just don't want him in a ChiSox uni.

GenericUserName Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Looks like its gonna be Miguel Gonzalez again. Rosenthal tweeted we signed him to a one year deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrathofhahn Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Jan 11, 2018 -> 09:57 AM) Yeah there has. And I guess he wants a 1-year deal. He should probably go somewhere like Minnesota where the team can be competitive again and the ballpark could help his numbers. I think he'll likely prioritize opportunity over winning considering it will be a one year deal. Our rotation is bad he'd have zero competition for the 5th spot until june-ish when you can call players up without starting their clock. In fact, that would be really the main purpose of Tilman he would be a meat shield and save us having to start the clock of one of our young pitchers early. It's actually one of the big concerns of this current rotation. I don't want the sox to burn through the service time of our young pitchers to find a 5th starter. Right now the rotation looks something like: Shields Rondon (???) Fulmer Giolito Lopez Shields is done. Rondon is a ???. Forget 5th starter ideally we should bring in two starters.

flavum Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Welcome back, Miguel Gonzalez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
he gone. Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Well, that didn't take long after my response. I forgot about Gonzalez to be honest. I'd throw in the same category as a Hector Santiago. I'll take it. I still wouldn't mind Bucholz as a piece in the pen if he's willing. That's where you hit your real HR on a flip deal. Imagine if he turned into a nice bullpen arm somehow and revives his career. you can hit the lottery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted January 14, 2018 Author Share Posted January 14, 2018 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 11, 2018 -> 08:29 AM) Hasn't there been a number of teams saying they're interested in him? Might be the best reason to go after him. Means there is a better chance at their being a market for him this summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
