GreenSox Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 (edited) I didn't realize he was 32. He's only been around a few years; very late bloomer and the bloom didn't last long. Orioles were certainly generous financially to him. Edited April 1, 2016 by GreenSox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Sacamano Posted April 3, 2016 Share Posted April 3, 2016 I guess he turned down a minor league deal with Baltimore but declined because he has a better opportunity in Chicago. With that being said, I bet Latos is on a very short leash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Sacamano Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 3, 2016 -> 07:22 PM) Charlotte has a very formidable rotation. 1.) Erik Johnson 2.) Miguel Gonzalez 3.) Jacob Turner 4.) Chris Beck 5.) Scott Carroll Fulmer potentially joining too. Looks like some rotations in the NL. Imagine if someone's rotation actually looked like that lol 50-112 wouldn't be unrealistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Injuries happen, you are gonna need warm bodies to make starts, so depth is good. But keep your expectations very low, gives up way too many homers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's arguably better than the Reds rotation. 1. Raisel Iglesias 2. Brandon Finnegan 3. TBA 4. Alfredo Simon 5. TBA Anthony DeScalfini was in there but just got hurt.

Nothing to actually hate i hope this is the answer for getting him instead of someone else. unless it is a reclamation project.

Lip Man 1 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Nothing wrong with taking a shot, you can never have enough pitching options and the back end of the Sox rotation absolutely is a question mark. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenSox Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 No risk I suppose, but I doubt he pitches on the ML team. REally hope to see EJ get his velocity squared away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigsoxhurt35 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 QUOTE (raBBit @ Apr 3, 2016 -> 11:52 PM) I agree. What I was trying to convey was the idea that Fulmer could potentially go from AA-AAA. And to ruin that point, I would guess Fulmer goes from AA-MLB and skips Charlotte altogether. I was gona ask if that was even possible.

And to ruin that point, I would guess Fulmer goes from AA-MLB and skips Charlotte altogether. I would guess Fulmer goes from AA to AAA when one of the AAA starters is either called up or one of the reclamation projects is cut loose. Now if he struggles in AA then he would probably stay there. I would guess he will be in AAA by June and then depending on how things are going in the majors gets called up later in the summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
