Is there something they're doing since Herm Schneider retired that is causing every pitcher to have a significant velocity drop? Serious question.

Ducksnort Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Might be time to end the Jones experiment. His body failed him his entire career, and I think there has just been too much damage for him to be what he once was. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colome should be solid but still a bunch of mediocrity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Bullpen likely to be better than the rotation in that rotation is probably going to be very close to the worst while bullpen will be merely bottom half of the league, bottom third-ish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneDog847 Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 Is KC already farther along in their rebuild than the Sox? Merrifield and Mondesi both look like players who are gonna be putting up 5 plus WAR for the next 7-8 years. Keller is only 22 and looks better than anyone in the Sox organization right now.

Serious question. Jack it's not even April. Chris sale was throwing 92 his first start. Is he finished? Velocity can be down early in the season for a lot of reasons, weather being one. Jones velocity has been depleted by about 200 injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No but they are much better at developing talent than the Sox (who isn’t). I do like their top two hitters though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
