knightni Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 I'm not sold on having to blow the farm up on a top starter in 2020.

Dunning pitched what? 5 innings yesterday with a limit and was topping out at 91. He's not all the way back yet.

Twins getting a better pitcher for this year and next year is not a good thing. Expand I know LL has been really good in Texas, and yes he would improve the Twins. But he doesn’t exactly strike fear in me, and the Twins are going to be our closest competition in this 5-7 season window. If they hurt their future by giving up Lewis or Kiriloff for 35 Lance Lynn starts, I think the Sox are better off long term. Both of these teams are making the playoffs this season and frankly there is really no difference in what seed you have other than bragging rights.

And I‘d be more than willing to send him packing for Woodruff or Clevinger, since I don’t think he will ever have acceptable fastball command.

Everyone did 2. I'll argue this until I'm blue in the face, but he read the tea leaves here... but if I will give him "one move" for the year, this is it 3. No 4. So? Plenty of people said this. 5. Wrong 6. The Sox scouted him multiple times; I knew that and I'm not an insider 7. Piggybacked this as well; this was said by multiple people. I follow about 500 Sox twitter accounts, and what Cishek does is play off the story or the speculation/thought/feed. That doesn't mean he doesn't have a buddy that works in the front office who blurted out one thing to him once.
