Could be worse. Could have had Cesar for longer than 2 months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His stats looked good and there were some favorable scouting reports on him. 14 whiffs on 3.2 innings pitched, i watched the game. Thats an incredible number. After a shaky first few batters he looked very good. Not bad for a debut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox59 Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 (edited) I am not too concerned about Pilkington being anything more than a mediocre backend SP. That being said, we could certainly use him at the moment. We also traded him for quite possibly my least favorite White Sox of my lifetime, so that sucks Edited May 9, 2022 by ChiSox59 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quin Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 This got moves to diamond club because all of these dudes are now on other teams. I added Danish, because inevitably, someone will mention him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ummm...Humber at least threw a no hitter and was part of the rotation for awhile. Not exactly Nick Williams or AJ Reed in terms of Sox impact.

If anyone has Humber's pre and post perfect game splits, I'd love to see them. But I was mainly talking about super high draft pick / touted prospect.

All you need to know is that he had a 7.39 ERA in 87.2 innings after the perfect game. I don't think throwing 96 pitches that game ruined his arm or anything though.

maxjusttyped Posted May 10, 2022 Share Posted May 10, 2022 Looks like Rodon has improved his pitch mix so far this season. He's currently 2nd in fWAR amongst all pitchers in baseball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luis Gonzalez has looked great in the Giants games I've seen this year. Whatever voodo magic they have going on with their players, particularly with the hitters, is very impressive.

Yeah, I just looked him up again and noticed he was still hovering around an 800 OPS entering tonight...would have thought he'd already be down in the 650 range after a hot start.

At the very worst, he's third behind Burnes. That said, playing on West Coast for a team other than the Dodgers means he will always get less media attention than the Yankees/Mets guys.
