fathom Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 10 minutes ago, chw42 said: The problem I see with Cishek is that he got absolutely lit up in the 2nd half of last year. His ERA didn't show it, but his peripherals were terrible. There is a lot to like about him though. His statcast numbers on EV and Hard Hit % are excellent and he's been pretty consistent throughout the years. He was injured a good part of the 2nd half I believe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Send out the kids for all I care, don't overpay for that side-arming junk. The Sox already have two guys who may be in the bullpen that could be flier one year wonder types in Marshall and Cordero. Sign someone with a bit of consistency. Not someone for 3 years and $24 million. A cheaper guy. But it’s only a little bit of money dude.

Good for Harris sweating it out and getting the money but I want no part of that. He first tweeted Sox interest in Harris, Cishek, and Diaz on Monday. Of course, it could just be throwing a bunch of shit at the wall. https://mobile.twitter.com/NOTCishek/status/1211865782126338048 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Sox may have dodged a bullet (assuming they actually were in on him). Plus, I don't know that many 38 year old [effective] relievers still around.

The Sox traded Nate Jones to the Rangers, along with international slot money, last trade deadline for a couple bum arms to avoid paying out Jones’ $1.25 million dollar buyout. The Rangers paid it in October and Jones is a free agent. Rangers acquired RHP Nate Jones, international slot compensation and cash from the White Sox for RHPs Joe Jarneski and Ray Castro.

TheFutureIsNear Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Guess I’m alone that I would have been happy with this deal. Sure, maybe the 3rd year would be a waste, but I think Harris will have excess value at 2/16. He’s been consistently getting it done for a long time, I see no obvious reasons that he will suddenly fall off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, yes, thank you both for refreshing my memory. What a shame his career ended up being. Such potential to be an elite arm and injuries just derailed him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s been consistently getting it done for a long time, I see no obvious reasons that he will suddenly fall off. Going three years for a 35 year old middle reliever is playing with fire. The fall off could happen at anytime, especially with bullpen pitchers. Sox likely had a two year offer on the table, but were unwilling to go to three years for Harris.

A-Train to 35th Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 I've liked Hudson all along with Cischek as fall back if we don't sign Hudson. I believe we only need 1 of the two with the likes of Rodon, Kopech, Covey and possibly Stiever filling the bullpen. If Kopech and Rondon make it back as a SP we can move Lopez and his 99 mph heat to the bullpen, and don't count out Herrara having a bounce back. The man threw gas in KC not too long ago.

GreenSox Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 The Sox will have to trade for an arm. They could probably trade Engel for a decent arm; one that's not fully developed, but with potential. And before you stop laughing, take a gander at the available CF free agents, where Kevin Pillar stands tall. Maybe someone like Feliz from the Pirates. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, he might not have any clue whether the guy has sources, which is why your way of wording it wouldn’t work in this case. He’s not sitting there thinking, “this guy doesn’t have sources,” but he’s also not sitting there thinking that this guy does have sources.
