Really excited to see what he can do with Lopez, Cease, and Kopech. One of those could be traded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re stuck with La Russa as our in-game decision maker for better or worse, but let’s limit his interactions with the actual players and perhaps his risk is reduced. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they aren’t, I look forward to seeing what he does with them. A new set of outside eyes is exactly what this team needs for their young pitchers that failed to make the jump under Coop.

It will be interesting to see what he will do. Also with Stiever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're short on pitching, and Sale isn't due back until June or July. Benintendi has been pretty disappointing for them, though not as bad as Lopez has been for the Sox. They'd need to add a small amount, but there are guys running out of options like Adolfo and Rutherford that could be of use on a flier to a rebuilding team.

BFirebird Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Finally some good news! From everything I have seen this looks like a great hire. I personally wanted Fetter (Tigers now 2-2 on hires that I thought would be good), but think Katz could be just as good. He already did wonders with Giolito (so I am sure he is pumped), so hopefully he can do the same with Cease & Kopech. I saw this mentioned elsewhere in this thread, but I hope this signals that Hahn is hiring the staff. I am pretty sure LaRussa doesn't even know who this guy is.

A-Train to 35th Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 (edited) Finally...the door opens and a crack of light appears. Hopefully this is a signal the Sox aren't letting Tony pick his staff knowing they may have to can him if guilty.

Dick Allen Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 So the Sox hired Gio's HS pitching coach who fixed him a couple of years ago. Does anyone still want to give Coop credit? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yesterday333 Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Maybe Hahn is using this time make hires knowing TLR has 0 (or at least a lot less) leverage. Go out and make some moves while TLR can’t really complain about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wegner Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 To be honest, I kinda thought it was some kind of joke that Giolito was fixed by his high school coach. I didn't realize he was actually a bonified mlb qualified pitching coach. My bad. With that being said, if more knowledgeable folks around here say it is a good hire, terrific. Now go sign that guy that just won the NL Cy Young award. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
