BackDoorBreach Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Im actually happy to see this. At some point you have to figure out what he is going to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonofaRoache Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 I dont know why but I still believe in him. If he can just figure a few things out and be a good BP arm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjm676 Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 hopefully this is the last chance for Fulmer. Time to move on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moan4Yoan Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 I’d rather see Fulmer than Banuelos. Give Fulmer to the end of the season to prove himself to be a useful reliever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChiSox59 Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 With Banuelos on the shelf, the Sox pretty much have to call up Cease this weekend. Literally no other options in the upper minors even remotely worth trying, and they are not going to roll with 4 starters, though they maybe could with 2 more off days in the next 8 days.

Look at Ray Ray Run Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Detwiler will be the starter called up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerksticks Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Let him work on shit as long as we have control. Would love to get some production at some point. Maybe he makes a tweak that clicks one of these years. He knows what he’s doing isn’t good enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we won't be able to option him back to AAA next season without exposing to waivers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you. I also just have a feeling that he will be a useful bullpen arm when we are ready to really compete. Throw strikes Carson!!

Chisox378 Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 Fullmer is a tad better than Banuelos I suppose, but remember Fullmer was given opportunities this year but still had trouble. I dont expect to be thrilled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 I don't think Carson was called up because of an assessment by the FO that he's definitely ready...in fact I suspect they'd prefer to keep him down there until his walk numbers get down. But Vieira can't be called back up at this point and they aren't going to open a spot on the 40 man for someone else to get the call.

I think Rick has to deal for a pitcher soon, whether he likes it or not, not just for the rest of this year but as I stated previously to get a jump on the off season when the price of pitching poker goes way, WAY up. Regarding Fulmer, as they say in baseball he's down to his last strike in my book. We'll see what happens.

The dude was drafted as an almost ready college arm over 4 years ago. If he isn't ready for the big leagues by now then he most likely will never be ready. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It turns out he wasn't almost ready and the Sox seemed determined to ignore this information as they kept promoting him despite him struggling. For me, it throws off any obvious timeline for when he might reach his potential because he got to the MLB before he showed he was ready to move on from AA. This year, his numbers are much different in that he's getting a lot more strikeouts and swings and misses than ever before, but his command is worse as well. I don't have high hopes for his time in the MLB right now but I don't dismiss the possibility that he eventually figures it out and becomes quite useful.

No one expected this from Fulmer but they expected more than these numbers from a 1st round pick: 6.72 ERA and 1.69 WHIP in 77.2 career innings 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beautox Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 I would like to believe the team gives him till the end of the year to try and figure it out at the ML level. If he could reproduce his results from AAA he would be a welcomed addition to the pen; here is hoping he crushes it this go around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
