Look at Ray Ray Run Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Never understood why no one has tried this guy as a RP. Maybe Sox will give him some run there. This should be a minor league deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This should be a minor league deal. Completely agree. I think he'd thrive too in s bullpen role. But if he does start/long relief I hope he is glued to Lance Lynn like a sponge. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/a-suggestion-for-vince-velasquez/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWSpalehoseCWS Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 This seems like a replacement for a long relief role. They can't possible look at him as starter potential. Even as depth, I'd put Lopez and Lambert ahead of him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted March 13, 2022 Author Share Posted March 13, 2022 lol “Cool, I had 16 strikeouts,” Velasquez said. “But I fucking threw all fastballs. OK, that’s unique. But it’s not part of pitching. It’s not pitching. It’s not sustainable at all.” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLsoxfan Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Teams will need lots of arms this year, especially us trying to stretch out kopech, dude throws hard maybe we can fix something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Look at Ray Ray Run Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 (edited) 5 minutes ago, wegner said: Thanks, Ray. Decent depth move I guess then? He's been terrible as a starter for some time; his stuff has always appeared much better than his production. I'd be surprised if the Sox let him start. Converting him to a RP might be a relatively savvy move. His injury history isn't good so who knows if he would hold up, but as a two pitch guy out of the pen (Fastball/CB or Slider) he might be able to get his velocity back up to 96+ as opposed to 93 that he was sitting as a starter last year. Honestly I'd rather run with Lopez as a spot guy over him, but I think Velasquez would have a better chance of turning himself into a viable reliever given his pitch repertoire.

KBX Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 All I know is this too is part of the long play for CONFORTO. The whole offseason is a saga that culminates in CONFORTO. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenSox Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 He has a lot of talent, but another guy who walks too many. Seems to have lost whatever he had. Maybe new scenery and coaching will help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox59 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Just sign Conforto. I knew they were never going to invest significantly in a 6th SP. This definitely wouldn’t have been the insurance policy I selected, but oh well. Keuchel is and was always going to make 20 some starts whether you guys like it or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
