Especially after we saw such a huge improvement in Giolito. I fully expect a college arm in the 1st round of the 2020 draft. Luckily it seems to be the classes strong suit.

Even with his lack of command, the opposition didn't hit Giolito all that much. Walks killed him, and he'd always give up his hits after walking 2 batters. Lopez is just getting lit up like a cheap Chinese Christmas tree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only to shoot himself in the foot with walks or falling behind in counts. He's ahead 0-2/1-2 on a lot of these guys and they're barreling it up no problem. It's getting real rough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have hope that he could be a nice 4-5 option in the starting rotation going forward. And that would be a good thing especially with how Lopez has looked.

It's worked with Giolito but not so with Lopez. I think a lot of Giolito's problem with his curveball is that he lost the feel for it and can no longer throw it for a strike. It still has nasty movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
