WhiteSox2023 Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago So are the posters who thought that the Sox are loaded with starting pitching and need them to get innings upset by this addition by Getz? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I never understood that. They need a guy like this. Honestly I'd bring back Flexen, too. Going to need A LOT of innings. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sacamano Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago So now they need to remove 2 guys from the 40-man, correct? Never saw who was DFA'd for Rojas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rojas acquisition hasn’t been made official yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago The White Sox have been interested in Martin Perez for a very long time. They tried to get him in the Alex Rios/Leury Garcia trade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shewmake was, pretty sure. This one is going to be Scholtens I'd guess. Edit - Oh yeah, Shewmake was another move.

southsider2k5 Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago Yeah it is nice to get a bit more dependable innings into the rotation than we were looking at before. We have SOOOOOO many innings to cover, it makes sense to at least have some experienced professionals here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more things change, the more they stay the same. But they do need more starters, and he does work some innings, even if usually very mediore.

Scholtens would definitely be my first choice. Old and bad is bad. But I’m not sure on the second cut. It’s bad when the players you are adding to the 40-man don’t seem to be worth much more than the guys you have to cut to make room for them.

Part of me wonders if there is a trade in the works (Martin or something) that would clear a spot, which is why they haven't announced their signing from last week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine being outspend by the 121 loss White Sox. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure if I'm one of those people, but nope. I think four rotation spots should belong to Cannon, Martin, Thorpe and Burke. After Getz' rough first off-season, I think they have to be prepared to run a good dozen guys out there to start games. There will be injuries, retooling, as we saw last year with Flexen and Cannon, and maybe one or more might be better suited for relief. Just like the Rojas signing, I think they're going to need bodies to run out there. Edited 14 hours ago by WestEddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think that on paper they have more arms who should be starting in the big leagues than they have spots for to start the year, but I can't be too mad about having an extra option because no one ever makes it all the way through April without an injury or two.

There is always talk about having too many pitchers, but when was the last time we actually had it come to a head? Like Brandon McCarthy? I will believe it when it actually happens.

DFAthewave69420 Posted 14 hours ago Share Posted 14 hours ago 1 for $5M for a veteran to eat innings and potentially flip is a solid deal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
