PorkChopExpress Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 2 hours ago, southsider2k5 said: What's wild is he actually gained velocity after leaving us, and then fell back to Chicago levels in Cleveland. So maybe he amped things up after getting traded to impress his new team, and did the damage then? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Giolito was my fav player during the rebuild. THis sucks. Happy in one sense that it happened now vs last year. But clearly going to be brutal given this is #2. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 Now the Red Sox pretty much have to sign Snell or Montgomery to be taken seriously by anyone...also, at least in his own mind, JR validated once again in not doling out extensions to Gio, Cease, Kopech, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of a very limited handful of starting pitchers, Jerry is 100% right on this one. ML starting pitchers are becoming like NFL running backs. Use them heavily for 4-6 years and then discard. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrockway Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Bummer. At least he got paid first and it’s the red sux who are stuck with him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tray Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 I liked Gio as a person and as a pitcher. Loved that high change-up and his competitive demeanor. I join with all other White Sox fans in wishing Gio the best. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I join with all other White Sox fans in wishing Gio the best. Agreed. Acquired for a really nice player in Adam Eaton but it turned out to be probably one of the best trades in Sox history. Giolito was a really good pitcher for the Sox and he also brought back a nice prospect return last year. The Sox sure know when to trade their top pitchers. They must have learned their lesson from the John Danks extension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely relying on drafting and developing your own pitchers seems just as foolish, since only a few orgs have shown the ability to do it successfully and consistently.

Bob Sacamano Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 22 hours ago, Squirmin' for Yermin said: I wonder if this opens them at all for Cease? I wouldn't think so as their pitching was doodoo before. Sounds like they've reached out to Montgomery. Idk they're a weird team. They should have been trying to sign Montgomery/Snell and trading for Cease BEFORE the Giolito injury honestly. Glad I took the under of 80.5 a couple of weeks ago for them. They seemed like a bad team pre-Giolito injury. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
