I thought he meant they don't need to sign relievers because you can get away with fewer like 2005. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 You're not asking him to slot in as better than your fourth reliever and your third right handed reliever, so its not like we're signing him to be our top pen arm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Career low .227 last year with a 85 exit velocity. and now he can't doctor the ball anymore like he clearly was. this is dumb AF. The 85 exit velo is a good sign that he won't see a ton of BABIP regression. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not necessarily that they were focused on relief at the expense of other options but this is a pattern now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each of the last two years we had threads created about how unstoppable the White Sox bullpen was going to be. The best bullpen in baseball will not end up being who you thought it'll be. Signing RP's coming off career years is almost never a good strategy. Nonsense - HUH? 2021 Sox Pitching Staff gave up 3rd fewest hits, 4th fewest HR, 3rd most K’s, 5th lowest ERA but alright whatever you think, pal.

Yes, the starting rotation in 2021 was lights out good. The bullpen blew the 3rd most games in MLB. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsider2k5 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Guys, we are going to need a lot of pitching. Not only do we have starters still ramping up and potentially getting hurt, I really feel like coming off of no team workouts after a full 21, and 1/3 of 20 could knock out conditioning on some starters as well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can never have enough pitching. Not much ready for depth in the minors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
