Woof. I believe in Katz helping Cease and Kopech. I think coop and Rodon were actually a lot alike, and Rodon has a lot more to unlearn.

flavum Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Coming off a 60-game season, every team is going to have more than 5 starters. 6-man rotations might be common, but there certainly will be more pitchers getting 95-110 innings just by taking the load off younger starters that aren’t ready for 180+ innings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep 3. They aren’t gonna sell low on Collins. He has no value right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slam-dunk, no doubt future ace Michael Kopech, of course, with his two good pitches and 20 months away from the mound.

maloney.adam Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 (edited) The Sox need to load up with as many pitchers as possible. I’m happy they are addressing this with adding depth pieces instead of just adding one big piece. It’s going to be a battle out there this year and we’re going to need as many arms as possible even if some of them are going to work out of the pen.

quickman Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 It all depends on who they sign next. If it’s another starter type then Rodon and the next guy fight it out with Lopez. Loser to the bullpen for awhile at least . Which quite frankly is the way that it should be for these project , injury pitchers who need to prove themselves . They will be on year year deals prove or hit the pen. Simple really . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll fight it out for that 5th spot. And pretty sure there'll be one more relatively significant addition. Also, Lambert (in The Athletic piece) sounds convinced he'll be in the mix, too. Probably not yet. Let them battle it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
