GT 5/27: ORIOLES @ SOX


Recommended Posts

Just saw a story on MLB.com about Javier Baez pulling a run out of thin air in today's game, that's why why they call him "El Mago".  I watched the video and a more appropriate summary is "Pirates 1B Will Craig is an idiot."

If you start him now, you remove it as an option based on his "current status".

Probably a better choice. The other thing is that when Crochet has command of his arsenal even MLB hitters struggle to hit him, despite being "only" 96-97 now. 

It's hard to develop a guy while simultaneously trying to win. 

I'm a big believer in Crochet's stuff but I'm not sure he can be used in anything but mop-up at the MLB level at the moment. When he locates, he's unhittable but that's like 1/4 of his outings this year.

Honestly?  Its a terrible choice. Why would you willing give away Crochet as an October option based on how he is pitching on May 27th?  That is so incredibly short sighted.

No, continuing to pitch him out of the bullpen and the fact his clock has been started is what's short sighted. The Sox spent the 11th pick on him and they should give him the opportunity to start. Special arm.
