Vote4Pedro Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 His slider is unhittable with the 100 mph gas. If he can develop a 3rd pitch he’s going to be very very tough in the rotation for years to come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harkness99 Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 my god... with him and bummer? that some sick bullpen action. I could see crochet being the closer eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Sox win Game 1, I'd move DK to Game 3 and try to use some combo of guys in Game 2 as right now both Dunning and Cease are struggling.

Hahn did not take him with that pick to keep him in the pen. He will be given every chance to be a starting pitcher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crochet struggled as a reliever as a freshman. He didn’t pitch bad as a starter and great as a reliever ala Ian Hamilton. He also didn’t throw a 100 until Fall ball last year. I was worried about a potential relief profile when drafted, but I am not as worried about it now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm mean I'd love for him to be the next Randy Johnson - it's just unusual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who's prez of the Crochet fan club and who's VP? We've been his biggest fans since we knew the Sox were picking 11 last fall. I still can't believe they actually took him. We're mostly on the same team when it comes to prospects. Edited September 27, 2020 by Jack Parkman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll quote Justin Timberlake in Social Network: "I'm CEO, b****" I was a bit worried about his injury this spring but I don't remember being on anyone else. I thought the Sox would actually take Cavalli. What happened to the 2020 pre-draft discussion thread?

Dick Allen Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 I posted back when he was drafted, Jim Callis said had there been a College Baseball season, Crochet wouldn’t have been available at 11. Assuming his arm didn’t fall off, he appears to be correct. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 I find it crazy that some are sitting here watching Crochet in the majors dominating batters during a division race after missing his junior year and no minor leagues... and you are putting a ceiling on what he can do? Based on a college season none of us watched? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But just because you guys are like little children that opened their toy for christmas... doesn't make it reality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chase419 Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 These observations from Chris O'Leary are a bit sobering. Hopefully Sox staff can help him with his pitching mechanics so his career is not cut short due to injury. — Chris O'Leary | Baseball (@thepainguy) September 19, 2020 See how Garrett Crochet's pitching arm is -- at best -- FLAT and not UP when it starts to come under load? That's bad. But the White Sox are handling him correctly, bringing him up quickly in order to maximize the time in which they can get value before the injuries start. pic.twitter.com/ZiNZTxa8fp — Chris O'Leary | Baseball (@thepainguy) September 19, 2020 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think anyone is saying he’s going to throw max velo every pitch as a starter but he also hasn’t even had a chance to develop yet and you are acting like he’s a finished product.
