I have not. I don't put much stock into spring training results. But regardless, who cares? The Sox need a miracle to be anything better than awful. Who cares if he sucks in the rotation, and then you move him to the pen in May or June or July? I realize something clicking for Kopech as a SP might be nearing miracle stages as well, but if it does, he's a valuable trade chip. Much more valuable than if things click as a pensman.
I realize he's had all sorts of chances, etc., etc., but there's a reason for that. He has an arm you can dream on, even if it has regressed some. He's also shown flashes of being a really good SP. It just feels like an unnecessary move at this time for a team that is projected to lose 100 games. I also don't like the trickle down effect it could cause putting Nastrini or Thorpe in the OD rotation, or forcing Crochet into it. Gimme the extra year of control on all three of those dudes - all that makes is about 5-6 Kopech starts.
