SweatyFreddy Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 After the Sox failed to sign Manny Machado, I remember Rick Hahn saying that they will continue to be aggressive on premium talent. Well, Rick, here's a news flash: the starting pitching staff on your ballclub needs a major league shot in the arm. Lopez and Giolito have regressed (see my post on Don Cooper needs to go) and for all his talent, Carlos Rodon has been inconsistent. Dallas Keuchel remains unsigned. Kindly ask Mr. Reinsdorf to release the vice grip he has on the team's checkbook and sign Dallas Keuchel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGajewski18 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 No. Drop in velocity. K rate has gone down, walk rate has gone up. Will lose a draft pick and isn't a major upgrade. Do your research Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moan4Yoan Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Why? Losing a draft pick to sign a pitcher on the decline in a losing season would be pretty stupid. Shields is still available and this time he can be acquired for just money instead of a franchise player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisox378 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 (edited) If the price is right I agree we should sign him. Him and Kimbrel. Everybody is mad we didn't sign 2 average hitters in Machado and Harper for outrageous money, when pitching(and defense) wins championships.

And there’s a reason these two guys are still free agents — no team wants to give up a the draft picks.

I agree Harper and Machado were and are waaaay overrated but I don't like the fact he has a pick attached to him. Kimbrel? Sure, at a good price. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisox378 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 I could at least find 15 better hitters Harper and Machado and they want the most money ever. I Still believe the Sox can win this division. I'm not scared to sign Dallas or Kimbrel. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tnetennba Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 At this juncture, IMO, the games Keuchel might win for the Sox this season don't outweigh the draft pick that they lose to sign him. The Keuchel ship has sailed for 2019. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirmin' for Yermin Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 The Sox have a better chance of finishing with the worst record in the league (good chance) than they do of winning 75+ games... wtf are you talking about you think we will make the playoffs lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisox378 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Imagine having the lead and going into the 7th inning with Herrera in the 7th, Colome in the 8th, and then Kimbrel to shut em down in the 9th. Dallas can lead us to many leads going into the 7th! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the White Sox sign either of them before the draft, they would lose their 2nd round pick. There is also "hurting 2019 draft pick position and cutting amount of money available for 2019 international signings" that would be affected by the difference between 70 and 73 wins or whatever they produced.

Flythesock Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 So a 65ish win team should throw away money and a draft pick for a mediocre pitcher that will be of no real benefit? In what world does that make sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
