SoCalChiSox Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 (edited) Weak. So much for the "quality" SP Stone mentioned. This is crap. The division will be tight all year. Edited April 5, 2022 by SoCalChiSox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Minor league deal is fine. He probably won't be able to pitch for weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Parkman Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Cueto had a 4.05 FIP and was worth 1.5 fWAR last year. Not terrible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShoeLessRob Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Glad it’s a minor league contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjusttyped Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 I hope they aren't done trying to pursue rotation help in the meantime. Someone who could get the team through April that also has options remaining would be a big addition right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can't pitch for weeks what's the point? Isn't he supposed to be a short term bridge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s really frustrating that this team looks worse on paper than last year. It’s still a very talented team but I think we all expected the talent level to remain similar, if not improve, then to see it go down a bit. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The division will be tight all year. Minor league deal…they continue searching for a better starter and simply keep Cueto in AAA until he needs to be released. Not a perfect solution, but way better than nothing and other readily available options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Additional rotation depth is needed now but also for the rest of the season as well. It's not realistic to expect Cueto to go from not pitching in ST to being on the OD roster.

As my buddy CWS just mentioned, it’s really difficult to see how they cover all the innings in April. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smellysox Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Wouldn't be surprised if the Sox still explore other possibilities. Always interesting when a fly ball pitcher pitches at GR field Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynn is gonna be out 8 weeks. If Cueto needs 3 weeks to ramp up, he can still pitch the 5 weeks Lynn is out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Parkman Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Cueto is a better option than Keuchel and VV guys. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 I do like how this is structured. If he goes to Charlotte and gets destroyed, they don’t have to ever promote him and the cost is minimal. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he goes to Charlotte and gets destroyed, they don’t have to ever promote him and the cost is minimal. All they are committing to right now is building him up in AAA for a few weeks. TBH, it’s a no-brainer move even if you’re still pursuing something better. Who isn’t to say we don’t suffer another injury in the next couple week. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
