maxjusttyped Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Definitely not thread worthy under most circumstances, perhaps the mods will determine it still isn't even during a lockout. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hi8is Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 We’ve found our left handed hitter indeed! Now the only question is if they’ll put him at second or in right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hi8is Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Pretty much injured for four years and when he last pitched in the minors this year, fantastic numbers: https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=finneg000bra&type=pgl&year=2021 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Wow, he fell off the face of the earth. I mean I don't know if his old ceiling is still in there, but it's worth a shot on a MiLB deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Carson Fulmer is still getting shots, this guy might as well have a chance too ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Funny since Finnegan was my reference for converting pitching prospect from bullpen to starting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sambuca Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Anyone know how is stuff is today compared to when he was drafted? I am assuming injuries have left him as a shell of his prospect form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox59 Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 I was a big fan of this kid when he came with the Royals. Here is one of the “find lightning in a bottle” bullpen additions that could yield a nice return if something clicks, however unlikely that may be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the little I know he has been plagued by mechanical flaws and health issues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am assuming injuries have left him as a shell of his prospect form. There’s some stuff in this article from March saying he was back in the 92-94 range in spring training, has been working at Driveline, and added a curveball. I’ve got nothing talking about how he was this year other than his stats struggling at AAA, and some 2019-2020 articles about how he was back to throwing in the 90s but it wasn’t translating to results on the field. https://www.redlegnation.com/2021/03/01/cincinnati-reds-pitcher-brandon-finnegan-shows-good-velo-new-pitch-monday/ 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heads22 Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 seems like a worthy left handed milb flier, we've certainly signed guys with less stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenSox Posted December 12, 2021 Share Posted December 12, 2021 (edited) His stats do look like the lefty version of Fulmer - I wonder if he spins it like Fulmer. Just cut the walks by 2/3 and we have a major league pitcher! Worth a shot. Edited December 12, 2021 by GreenSox 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hi8is Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 (edited) Interview: https://www.soxon35th.com/interview-with-newly-signed-white-sox-reliever-brandon-finnegan/amp/ Edit: It’s probably the most worthless interview you could possibly read. This sucks. Edited December 13, 2021 by hi8is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
