Jose Abreu Posted July 11, 2018 Author Share Posted July 11, 2018 Gomez and Hamilton are good guesses. I'll go with Thyago Vieira. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Parkman Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Anyone else think it might be Vieira that gets the call? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flavum Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Yeah, could be a Vieira. He was the 26th man but wasn’t used not too long ago. They’ll all get called up after some of the bullpen pieces are traded over the next few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 In all reality, Considering they already had Vieira here once this year, he is who I would bet on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackSox13 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Honestly I'm surprised it took this long after the exchange he and Renteria had on the mound less that two weeks ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthSideSox72 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 There are about 4 different arms that could be coming up. Vieira would be my guess, but I wouldn't put money down on anyone. Here's an outside chance alternative that I think might be interesting - Jordan Stephens. Starting as a reliever, maybe spot starter, then if Giolito scuffles badly again (or someone gets hurt), you slide him into the rotation.

If the All-Star break wasn’t coming up I could see it, but I think they’d rather just give him a couple starts in AAA and call him up once Shields is dealt.

That's possible too, but then either way kinda works in the meantime. Another scenario is, since Covey seems to have so much trouble seeing a lineup the 2nd time around, maybe he moves to the pen and Stephens to the rotation.

It makes you realize that most of the bullpen on the next Sox contender might not even be in the system right now The Sox have some pretty high profile relief prospects in Burdi, Hamilton, & potentially Vieira & Tyler Johnson. Plus some of our starting pitching prospects are going to fail and potentially fill roles like Fulmer, Covey, & maybe Stephens. They will no doubt need to add a couple of relievers to anchor the pen, but I’m far less concerned about that area than any other part of the roster. Having two young promising young lefties in Fry & Bummer also helps matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get your articles out now how Gomez has been a pleasant surprise out of our bullpen this year. He could’ve proven to all of us a month ago if he could still pitch in the majors. Instead we’ve had to endure Rondon’s suckage for the last month. This is the one thing i’ll agree on that Hahn has not handled well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolling the dice on Rondon made sense given his ability and the fact he was under control for a few more years. Obviously it didn’t work out, but I think it was easily worth a shot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they fail, you DFA them and dont think twice about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
