Low risk deal, and I think he still has some gas left in the tank. Hard for anyone to dislike this move as long as we look to add a higher quality option(s). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWSpalehoseCWS Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 I’m ok with this. They could have done much, much worse. Really hope this isn’t the only move for SP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCsoxfan Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 They’re no longer convincing that they’re trying to win as a top priority. Priorities 1-5 are maximizing profits while providing a glimmer of hope. You can’t really be upset about this signing but nobody is excited about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 I don't hate it assuming we're still going to spend money on another arm. Gio wasn't bad last year with Milwaukee but had a lot of issues staying healthy. If it's a cheap deal and he gives us 150 innings, it's a good signing.

GradMc Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 (edited) Reinsdorf is a joke. Catching lightening in a bottle is the way he's run this organization since he bought it for peanuts then realized he couldn't compete with these far more affluent ownerships. The White Sox are cursed by historically bad ownerships. I hold out hope I'll live long enough to see this paradigm finally change.

Moan4Yoan Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 If this is the top SP Hahn signs this offseason, he may not want to show up to SoxFest. If Hahn still grabs Ryu or Keuchel, fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at Ray Ray Run Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 10 minutes ago, 2Deep said: I agree. As a 5th starter this is a very good signing. Yeah, amazing what statistics can do to change a persons mind. Didn't like the signing at all when I read it, but then dug into Gio and realized that my opinion of his performance the past two years was wrong and misguided. He's not going to get you deep into games, but he still gets some swings and misses and is still a productive big league arm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gio Gonzalez is a lot better than the Covey’s and Despaigne’s of the world. This is a big upgrade for the Sox. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's way better than Santiago Gonzalez has had a really underrated career, with over 32 WAR (fangraphs). There's still upside to this signing that many might not realize.

Hatchetman Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 No complaints here. Better than Covey as your 5th/6th starter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
