DirtySox Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Good for him. He's seemed cromulent in the starts I've watched in AA/AAA. Certainly the best option in the high minors at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtySox Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Good for him! Seems like he could be a decent backend/depth piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Good for the kid! I liked him when I saw him in Kanny a few years ago on milb site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 I couldn't find a lot of information on the guy. His stuff seems better than it was just a year ago. You can see his pitches here: https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/gamefeed?gamePk=666242. This was his only start in Charlotte where they had Statcast. Fastball got all the way up to 96, sat close to 94. Throws his fastball about half the time, change up 25%, curveball 20% of the time, slider 5%. He also has a cutter and sinker but he rarely threw them. I think if he can exhibit some command he should do alright. His stuff seems better than Jimmy Lambert's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Line Posted May 17, 2022 Share Posted May 17, 2022 Cant wait to watch tomorrow! The sox seem to have good luck with pitchers making their debuts. I recall lots of good performances over the years. Hope it continues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't have the greatest command but makes it work. I was more impressed with the change up than the breaking pitches in the starts I've seen. Hoping for the best. He's easily the best option the Sox have in the high minors currently. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah his change up got a lot of whiffs in that game I linked up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn’t clear a 40 man roster spot, only an active 26 man roster spot. Gio would need to move to the 60 day IL to clear a 40 man slot.

Gio would need to move to the 60 day IL to clear a 40 man slot. Hmm did that change? I remember being placed on the Covid IL did open up a spot on the 40-man roster before. It’s how the Marlins managed to have a 60 player 40-man roster a couple of years ago. I currently see 42 guys on the 40-man roster, with Stiever being the only guy listed as 60-day IL so I'm going to assume this is still the case. To open up a spot on the 40, they should be able to transfer Crochet to the 60-day IL. Edited May 17, 2022 by Bob Sacamano Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
