I know I'm going to get backlash for this, but what exactly is this surplus of pitching the Sox have? Guys like Rienzo can be found in every organization.

I would guess that first round pick in 2014 is going to be a pitcher.

I'm not worried about the Sox acquiring or developing pitchers. They seem to do that better than most.

And of course you have guys like Beck and Snodgress who are probably just a season away, if that

 

And Jaye and Danish.

Yup. People seem to forget this. It seems like the Sox pulled Hector and Q from nowhere.

Snodgress doesn't impress me at all, actually. Struggles to put up a 2+ K/BB.

 

I don't love him either, but he is indeed close to MLB by virtue of being a AAA starter this year in all likelihood. Does have a chance of putting things together. Good frame, some talent

And Bassit can be put in that convo as well.

 

 

If Eaton pans out he could be a huge addition to the top of the lineup.

 

He's stolen 38 and 44 bases in the minors before, had good walk numbers, and made contact.

 

Hopefully the top of the lineup can be Eaton-Avi-JDA

3.56 ERA with 8.4 K/9IP is pretty good

 

I know you guys hate it and it's going to do nothing to change your mind, but his FIPs and xFIPs have been in the 4.4-4.7 range. He walks too many guys, doesn't throw enough ground balls, doesn't work deep into games, and was either really lucky/good/both about stranding runners.
