No way you give up on cease already oh totally agree. In my ideal it's: Start of season Giolito, #2 Bauer/Stroman/Trade, Keuchel, Cease, Dunning June Giolito, #2, Keuchel, Cease, Kopech or Dunning (We have to see Kopech get a longer look) Playoffs Giolito, #2, Keuchel, Kopech, Cease or Dunning (Kopech gets a playoff start if he holds up and Cease and Dunning both can be bullpen/long guys if needed I don't see how Reylo fits into any of this. Especially if Crochet is a 2 inning type guy/longer relief guy for 2021 and is starter for 2022. Reylo as a high impact bullpen replacement sounds about the only option if they keep him. Would rather trade. Edited October 12, 2020 by EloyJenkins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWINFan Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 4 hours ago, Dick Allen said: Coop's probably had more power as the pitching coach than any other pitching coach. So if they are bringing in someone from outside, with championship experience, not having full control over his department might make them look for a job somewhere else. I think this is true. A new manager has to have the right to name his own staff. I wouldn't want the job if I had Coop looking over my shoulder. I wouldn't be able to trust him. When Hawk became GM, JR insisted that LaRussa remain as manager. Turned out to be a big mistake public relations-wise, and more important, the team's progress was set back several years. Coop had to go, pure and simple. It's time anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YourWhatHurts Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I'm no pitching coach but in that Nats video with his delivery he looks like a guy who is always going to be VERY wild in the strikezone. Lopez needs some fixing but I definitely don't want to rely on a pitcher that looks like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Coop won’t say anything negative about the Sox. He’s almost 65. They gave him a great life for him and his family. Maybe he’ll have some big issue baseball thoughts that he doesn’t agree with, but it won’t be personal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iWiN4PreP Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 I'm so happy for this! Getting rid of cooper's old school BS is a great advancement for the future of the team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way Guillen could come back after all the bad blood spilt between he and Coop after his departure. Was there bad blood?

Reylo has very little trade value right now, you would probably get a 40fv prospect for him right now. Definitely keep him and see what a new pitching coach can do. That doesn't mean hand him a spot in the rotation for free but at least he needs to get a long look in spring training. He still is only 26 and has a live arm and could turn it around. If he doesn't you can still get rid of him next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzie's last few years were really ugly and I can't believe how much support he still has here. I want a manager I don't have to think about.

Spots in the rotation are becoming limited but if a new pitching coach can find a way to get some life on his pitches again he might be a solid asset out of the pen.

Rinse repeat Obviously there is a good chance he will never make it and he likely is more likely to never make it but even if there is only a small Chance it is worth to find out. There is a long list of pitchers who figured it out around age 25-27, randy Johnson had like 4 career war at age 26. Obviously those cases are rare but they can happen and it is worth to find out especially with a new PC and after this crazy year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If bringing him back prevents us from doing other things then I get it, but I’d definitely keep him in the org one more season if we have the money.
