caulfield12 Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Saving face for Hahn...hasn't exactly gone as well as last exactly $3 million deal for Rodon. Otoh, for Hahn apologists, Cueto in roughly that same price range one of the one of the positive developments of 2022. Original move definition of bargain bin shopping.

Timmy U Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Velasquez gone after the season. Foster is a bubble guy on the 40 man. Not much to choose from with either of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stinky Stanky Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Vince throws nasty stuff, has some measure of control of it and I think that he has the potential to be coached up. It's in Katz's hands. In other words, I think most of us are more down on the guy than we need to be. Better than Foster and has the tools to improve.

Eh, to me Foster is just a guy. Every team has a lot of up and down righty reliever candidates. Lambert is a bullpen guy now. That is probably where Bilous ends up. Luke Schilling, Lane Ramsey, Caleb Freeman… even the Sox depleted system has some guys who might make it. It’s finding starters that’s hard. Thank God for Davis Martin. Now we need to get one or two others either through development or trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Side Hit Men Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 Cueto is a good low cost one year pick up, but will likely return to form if he is able to pitch in 2023. OK to sign as a 6th-7th starter at a similar deal to this year, but to rely as an every fifth day starter on a contending team is ludicrous. ERA / FIP / Starts 2019 5.06 / 5.71 / 4 2020 5.40 / 4.64 / 12 2021 4.08 / 4.05 / 21 2022 2.98 / 4.00 / 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince has had five or six years of mediocrity, he is what he is. He's not going to "suddenly" find it in my opinion. Another waste of money and roster space by the Sox G.M. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince looked like he belonged last night. Just saying. Stuff was hopping. Mediocrity ain't bad sometimes, in comparison to just plain awful.

Given the organization's record since the start of the 2007 season you can assume that's exactly what they are doing aspiring to mediocrity. ?
