Chicago White Sox Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 QUOTE (glangon @ Apr 12, 2018 -> 07:51 AM) I don't think he is major league material either. We are in a rebuild mode though, bringing him up could flick a switch for him. Who knows? The great spring could turn him into a few good innings as a reliever. He can't be worse than some of the donkeys we've had in the pen so far this year. I guess I view any time spent with Cooper to be valuable, so I’d much rather roll the dice on guys with big stuff but poor command or developing secondary offerings that have a chance of filling a long-term role in the bullpen.

caulfield12 Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 Vieira, Rondon (already up), Stephens, Guerrero...even Adams and Fry will get shots before Volstad. If they go with vets, it will be Gomez or Ross, Jr., first. If he was ever going to make it, it was coming out of ST this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they go with vets, it will be Gomez or Ross, Jr., first. If he was ever going to make it, it was coming out of ST this year. Vieira may make sense as he is already on the 40 man. They may decide that he needs more time in AAA before promoting him. Guerrero and Fry are lefties (Fry is on the DL), I reckon we'd see Ross Jnr first if it was a lefty. We are already carrying 3 lefties in the pen, I can't see us carrying a fourth. Adams has never been above Birmingham, I suspect they want to see what he is like as a starter before exposing him to the pen, we are more likely to see him July onwards, after trades have been made. Stephens hasn't been above Birmingham, I suspect they want to see how he does in Charlotte before promoting him. Volstad may be in their minds because of his strong spring.

He isn’t some up-and-coming, developing guy. He’s filler. Every team needs guys like him, but any time he spends with Cooper is time taken away from guys who may be part of the team’s future.

I want Cooper spending time with guys like Rondon & Vieira and not organizational filler like Volstad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
