Giolito strikes me as being a mental midget sadly. Expand Giolito's delivery last year was a work in progress the entire year. The way he pitched in April was completely different than how he was pitching in August/September. It wasn't until around June that they focused on having him pitch more over the top, and after they did his release point was about half a foot higher and his velocity was 2-3 mph more than it was earlier in the year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GermanSoxFan Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Using underachiever and Cooper in the same sentence is crazy talk. If the Sox let him go, he would have a major league job tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenericUserName Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 I almost hope the Padres really are in it and do have a strong offer out there because then we can get some real negotiations going and hopefully wrap this up quickly when one team drops out and Lozano realizes he got the most he can get.

He's just quoting Levine and media reports. He has no idea what the offers are. I wouldn't necessarily bet $$ that he's coming to Chicago at this point but I'm fairly confident that he isn't going to the Padres.

If the Sox let him go, he would have a major league job tomorrow. Expand Would he though? He was saying the other day he wants his starters to continue going 7-8 and even 9 innings throwing 100+ pitches and his ball clubs will always do that. The trend for MLB lately is to rely heavily on the bullpen and seem to be drifting away from that kind of stuff.....not saying that old dogs can’t learn new tricks but maybe time is starting to pass him by.... I will finish this up by saying that his job is absolutely safe here due to the “loyalty” from ownership and not having a negative track record with our staff.

Expand That's something that is not up to Cooper, a front office lays out the plans for pitcher usage. I think Cooper's track record in having success with pitchers who were challenged, to say the least, to have any semblance of repeatable mechanics or command speaks for itself.

If it comes down to Padres and White Sox then he will not get his wish. The East Coast idea may have been when he wanted the Yankees to make an offer.
