wegner Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 I know I am out on an island maybe by myself, but I still have hope that he will be a serviceable piece of the Sox bullpen. Throw strikes Carson!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throw strikes Carson!! Its definitely too early to give up on him. This is has last option year though, so he best figure it out soon. Would frankly prefer him in Chicago to Minaya. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WBWSF Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 The White Sox offered Eloy Jimenez a long term contract this spring. He accepted the contract and was on the Opening day roster. The White Sox also offered a long term contract to Dylan Cease, and he declined the contract. Cease is still in the Minors. I can't help but wonder if Cease had signed the contract, he would be pitching for the White Sox now. Seems crazy that the team keeps calling up stiffs like Fulmer and won't bring up Cease.

However, I'm not sure it would be this early. Definitely by the All star break though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that many pitchers skip AAA. Cease only has 5 starts in AAA and only had 3 in AA. Regardless of the contract, I think it makes sense they give him 15 or so starts in AAA rather than rush him up.

Ducksnort Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Hopefully Gio can go 7 innings tonight and we won't need Fulmer, and/or the offense comes alive and we are up by so many runs it won't matter if Fulmer comes in or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More likely is that we get 5 innings in and have a rain-shortened game. Hopefully Gio is bringing it again.

I have a pet peeve about this. Show these guys some Buehrle film or point out on the mound while Gio is pitching. Not surprisingly, the defense behind them would improve as well.

Only difference in AAA is that he can throw it past guys to work out of his own jams. He K's 13 batters per 9 in Charlotte. He can't do that in the big leagues. Nothing has changed with who he is... and I see no reason to suspect that it will at this point. If he does become a valuable reliever, it will almost assuredly be elsewhere.

Giolito did not start pitching quickly until he started pitching well and gained confidence. I'm not sure a pitcher going poorly can pitch quickly.

poppysox Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Apparently not. Lots of bad pitchers pitch slowly. Can't think of a bad pitcher who pitches fast. Coincidence...I think not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
