Well hopefully our draft is the best player we can develop and not "polished" guys with limited upside or relievers.

Before too long there will be 2 3 inning pitchers that pitch one time through the order. If this is the case then how does this innings pitched per game thing you are talking about have any relevance in whether Dylan Cease is a potential Ace or not?

Katz isn't here just to be Lucas' personal pitching coach. West Coast guys tend to go back home at some point...but time will tell. He won't stick around for a rebuild if we start trading Lynn Hendriks Graveman Giolito and Cueto. Vera is the only minor league pitcher worth a damn to work with. Maybe Mena. He will get poached by someone. Edited July 6, 2022 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Build a pipeline of talent in the minors, build off of a true development organization and then insert high-valued talent with FA. But I forget, this is the sox. We dumpster dive and overspend for mediocre talent and then go all-in on things like relievers. Meanwhile turning the farm system into one of the worst in baseball. Because in the end, the same people are doing talent evaluation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cease is establishing himself as a top 10 pitcher in the sport and has a chance to win the CY but that isn't ace worthy, apparently 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who would've thought this 2022 version would be such a let down? It amazes me more and more how the heck did 2005 even happen? Maybe the older Chicago fans feel the same with the '85 Bears? That was before my time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of my definition of an ace is a guy that pitches 6 innings on a regular basis and goes 7+ 5 or more starts per season. Sale did it, Quintana did it, Giolito did it for a couple seasons. It's not the only criterion, but a major part of it. Cease is dominant for 5 innings but I think you have to ask for more than that from a true ace. Everyone has their own definition of an ace. In recent years, DeGrom, Kershaw and Verlander are examples. Guys that are true aces usually end up in Cooperstown.

I swear they might ask once every three games if the Sox won. They only know who’s doing well or bad on the season based on the player’s ranking in The Show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
