Let someone with some actual upside take his place. First round 7th overall pick in 2015. Looks to be worthless. Remember when the Sox swapped Joe Borchard for Matt Thornton. Both were disappointing first round draft choices. Thornton worked out very well for us. Time for some of that same creativity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenSox Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 (edited) And not one real prospect to bring up. Fulmer has neither stuff nor control. I suspect for him to amount to anything, they'll have to completely break down his delivery, work with him for at least a year in Az and see how it goes. Of course they should have done that 3 years ago instead of rushing him into the 2016 roster. Edited May 5, 2019 by GreenSox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are three years deep into this rebuild and the FO has been drafting college relievers left and right over the past few years. Something does not compute. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All 3 are pretty much MLB ready though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Yea Hamilton is broken it seems. Ruiz will be back though. I like his arm. He just shouldn't of skipped AAA. Let him develop there then call him up later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see the argument for Foster, but a healthy Hamilton and Johnson are about as exciting as you can get when it comes to relief prospects Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Hahn always has the final say on your 1st round draft pick and in rushing those players up to the big leagues, and yes, his performance, 30th/30 teams in wins but the absolute best in telling Chairman Reinsdorf that he's doing a great job, firing that guy is impossible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without looking at the 10 day limit, the guys who can be called up without having to add someone to the 40 man roster are: Frare Cease Hamilton Medeiros Stephens Viera Zavala Adolfo Basabe Jay Palka What the F*** happened to John Jay anyway? How his he not on the 60 day IL? He's missed 40 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's 95% at this point but they said they are waiting for the swelling to go down, if they're waiting for that then they can't 60 day him first.

Timmy U Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 They should bring up a starter to eat innings post Covey. It won’t be Cease both for baseball and marketing reasons. Can’t be Stephens, he got lit again tonight. I wonder if they would consider Lambert. He has to be added at the end of the year anyway.

Given that, Cease should be coming up right now. There is no contractual benefit to holding him down unless you wait another 3 months.
