Squirmin' for Yermin Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 3 minutes ago, chitownsportsfan said: what's the over under on Rickie fucking up the bullpen and leaving Chicago out of relievers due to the new loogy rule? I'm guessing about 5 times. Why would anyone run OUT of relievers now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see him using intentional walks in order to get matchups. It's another layer of strategy now with pinch hitters as well and I can see other mangers being more prepared. Not maybe running out of pitchers, especially given 26 man roster, but just putting the Sox in bad spots. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't forsee an issue running out of guys. Especially with the new rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see. If he ever uses an IBB to get around the rule to get a "matchup" during the season that's a shot or finish your drink moment for the Renteria drinking game!

Chisox378 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 (edited) We are HOT!!!! I knew Cishek was good watching him on the Cubs, but looking at his numbers he has only two season with an ERA over 3.00 (3.17in 2014 & 3.58 in 2015). Thats super impressive and if continued, even worthy of HOF votes. Edited January 7, 2020 by Chisox378 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mqr Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 I believe payroll is now above average, which feels right where it should be for year one of contention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vote4Pedro Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Great signing to wrap up an A+ offseason. Now the Whitesox just need to clear a couple roster spots to officially announce Cishek and Encarnacion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to agree, but as a counterpoint - we just gave up Walker, who was the 46th pick just a year and a half ago (and had played pretty well in the low minors), for 2 years of Nomar Mazara.

Still plenty of MILB and depth pieces. Nothing to rest on pins and needles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe he'd pass through waivers being young and a first round pick and not sure if he's worth much if anything in trade. Do we just let him go or give him one last shot, which would mean one less roster spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I’m expecting him to be on the opening day roster, to be honest. Give him one last shot and then cut ties if it doesn’t work out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
