Has that stuff. @SSS_joshnelson: With Fulmer joining the @WhiteSox - what do you think his ceiling is? Sale Rodon Shark Quintana Fulmer EJ, Montas, Danish, Beck in the wings. Staff looks real good to me. Just get some hitters lol With Guerrero and Adams on their way. Hell, I'll even add Drabek due to his performance this year. Going to have to start trading some of them for hitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danish, Beck = pen, but possibly good ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackSox13 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 (edited) Curious to see if Fulmer comes out for the 8th. Edit: curiosity has been answered. Edited June 23, 2015 by BlackSox13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGajewski18 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Fulmer at 115 pitches. Get him out of there. It's 5-0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptatc Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jun 22, 2015 -> 09:01 PM) Fullmer's delivery is lightning quick. Reminds me of the delivery that Brandon McCarthy had when he first came up. Not necessarily a good thing with the injury history of McCarthy. The only knock on Fullmer is the high effort to the delivery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigHurt3515 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 22, 2015 -> 09:47 PM) Danish and Beck don't look like MLB starters to me. Would love to use Danish as trade bait if he has value Danish and Montas in the bullpen would be great as well if it came down to it. I think either one could be a closer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only knock on Fullmer is the high effort to the delivery. I always thought one of the knocks on McCarthy (originally) was coming almost completely over the top...that it was going to lead to shoulder problems and force him to adjust his delivery. It also led to his fastball not having much movement, although the 12-6 curveball was nasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only knock on Fullmer is the high effort to the delivery. I am guessing in this case, and knowing their draft history, they don't pick Fulmer if they aren't either comfortable with his motion, or if they think they can get him to adjust. Remember the Sox have passed on pitchers in the past for that exact reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Great article on Fulmer. Needless to say, Vandy doesn't expect him not to sign http://www.baseballamerica.com/college/cws...mmodores-brink/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 Really like having him. If we can get another good arm for Shark, rotation should be in a great cost-controlled position. How we get those position players though, a real struggle. Would love Hoffman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember the Sox have passed on pitchers in the past for that exact reason. I don't think they really look at it as much as other teams. Look at Sale. His motion scared alot of teams off. Anyway as I said there really isn't much not to like about his other than the effort. Cooper preaches decreasing the effort anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also led to his fastball not having much movement, although the 12-6 curveball was nasty. That is the good and the bad of throwing over the top .It creates a great curve ball but it allows the hitter to get a good look at the pitches if they are all thrown from there. Dave Stieb was a pitcher who was effective with throwing the over the top curve but dropped down a little for the fastball and slider. It doesn't necessarily lead to shoulder injuries but that motion does put more stress on the shoulder. Then the further you lower the arm angle the more stress goes to the elbow.

A fever makes the body tissues more extensible and pliable, thus makes any tissue more susceptible to injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldsox Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I'm waiting for one of our mods (can't remember his name) to tell us that Fulmer is 99.99 % certain of signing with Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
