Was not the guy I had picked but I'm not complaining. Happy to call Fulmer a member of the White Sox organization.

 

I am laughing at the idea of Sale, Rodon and Fulmer in the same rotation a year or two from now and the amount of K's those three will generate. Have mercy!

So chances are we will see Fulmer in Sept? That's the plan?

 

 

He's the perfect solution for the 8th inning set-up guy, haha.

 

Following the Sale/Rodon plan.

 

Wouldn't be totally surprising...would have to review Fulmer's collegiate workload this year, he just ramped up this season from previously being a closer/reliever.

Wooo, posted all last two years about wanting Rodon and Fulmer, got them both

 

Yep, same here. It's weird to follow a guy for nearly a full year hoping he would be the pick....and then he is the pick. I've been following Vandy baseball on twitter all season getting updates on all of Fulmer's starts. lol.

i will say this, i was not for Fulmer, but now that he is a sox, i want him to fully develop. i really think he needs arm strength. it is going to be interesting.

 

i also hopes he stays and develop as a sp.

Fulmer says he wants to be a starter, would do whatever to help team though.

 

now that is what i want to hear..... someone who is team first. any word on his agent???

When Himes drafted McDowell, Ventura, Thomas, and Fernandez, no one complaned they were rushed.

 

to tell you the truth, i can't remember much from that era. but again, look at the talent level, how can you compare those guys to a Jared Mitchel, Josh Phegley, Aaron Poreda, Gordon Beckham.

No, but the term rushed is overblown IMO.

Fulmer was my #1 pitcher over Tate, and way way over Jay. Couldn't be happier.

 

I have no problem with how they choose to handle Fulmer going further. They have handled "rushing" pitchers just fine. It's like the one thing I have faith in this front office to handle.

Cubs going all the hitters, haha.

 

Opposite of the White Sox, all the pitchers/all the lefties.

That is always their prefernce. Hitters aremuch easierto projectin the analytics. So they draft the safer players and spend the big contracts on pitching.
