A fixer upper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone that has a lot of experience and has pitched in the World Series before. Edited January 12, 2021 by maloney.adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EloyJenkins Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 14 teams will be in attendance. If he looks good he is getting at least 5-7 mil plus incentives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were reports saying he would be interested in playing out East but things can change and he obviously know the AL Central well.

Sleepy Harold Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Assuming health checks out, Kluber could be a great option for a short-term spot in the rotation. I'd be all for it. 1 year + incentives and maybe an option? Giddy up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxBlanco Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Sign me up. He had a 0.00 ERA last year. I can't imagine too many pitchers were better than that. Although the 9.0 BB/9 were a little high, so hopefully he can fix those control issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWSpalehoseCWS Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 I'd be mad if the Sox didn't have a guy there. Don't exhaust any option. I'm not sure how confident I am in him being a legitimate option for the season, but it doesn't hurt to look. His age should make him lean towards contenders too, which puts the Sox in a good spot should they want to go in that direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be good for a rebuilding team to deal at deadline or with competitor from day 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gives the young guys time to find themselves working with Katz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirmin' for Yermin Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 (edited) Kluber is honestly my pipe dream. Seems to be the PERFECT guy to bring in. Crazy high ceiling is what I'd prefer. I also assume is floor is fine, assuming health (big Q) Edited January 12, 2021 by Squirmin' for Yermin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zisk Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Either Kluber or Paxton, which ever is healthier. It's reasonable to think World Series now. Don't lose the one you want over a small amount of money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And with Kopech joining us later, we have a built in security blanket if Kluber isn’t healthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an odd injury as it purpose is to help the latissimus does. I refer to it as the "little lat". It really does do much on its own. The prognosis for a pitcher is pretty good. He really should have much functional issues only strength. It will be interesting to see his velocity. That will be the determining factor. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
