Jake Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 If it's true that the Sox told Guyer to expect to get ABs for us, I see no way Delmonico can make the team out of spring training. And if they plan to really give Guyer a spot on the roster, that will mean one of Engel or Palka goes away when Eloy comes up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Parkman Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 (edited) Mixed bag for Gio today, according to Fegan. Continue building up for the season, and maybe he gets that velocity back. We'll see. Edited February 28, 2019 by Jack Parkman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Doesn't Gio always look good in ST and then once the real thing starts he goes back to being bad? Isn't that what happened last year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Mariners’ guys had him at 93 as well. Same as last year. Control issues. Terrible defense behind him. Two Moncada K’s. Narvaez gets his first hit against us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to say "always", but yes, he looked great last ST and Fangraphs even had an article showing how much better his delivery was and how he may be on track for a James Paxton breakout year.....and then he reverted.

ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 TA7 with a bomb to CF. Probably went 425 or so. He pimped it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Moncada just got down 0-2 in the count against a lefty and actually took a nice controlled swing and ripped one up the middle, almost killed Elias, who threw him out relatively easily after recovering from the shock.

Yeah, but so far he's been striking out vs. MLB pitchers and raking vs. AAA pitchers. It is kind of concerning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 (edited) Yay, more Adam Engel bunt ground outs...and poor Jose Rondon buried forever on the bench behind Yolmer and Leury. So much for the Jordan Stephens for Fifth Starter campaign. We hardly knew ye. Edited February 28, 2019 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't that what happened last year? Yep. He also threw hard that spring then lost it (although to be fair it was cold as hell at the beginning of the year last year.)
