The Royals are light years ahead of the Sox in advance scouting. You can see it by how their pitchers attack the Sox hitters. Case in point was Moncada in which they only threw him breaking balls after they got ahead with strike one.

Same old Lopez.  Has no secondary offering he can rely on.

Idk about "same old," he has historically had a pretty damn good change, and decent curve when hes on. Just had a nice strikeout on the slider

That is why I think Giolito has a higher ceiling. He at the very least has a slider and changeup that are very good, and occasionally he'll flash that ++ curve. Gio's slider is more consistent than his curve.  Lopez has a big fastball but his secondary stuff isn't that great. His change is ok to flashing + but his breaking balls are lacking. Lopez should pick either the curve or slider and try to develop feel for one of them. If I were him I'd choose the curveball because it is a different velocity than his changeup, while the slider is similar in velocity.

Jack. Cool it on the Giolito hype for a night. We get it.
