White Sox sign Gio Gonzalez

People keep assuming Gio will only start for half a season but if Lopez doesn’t step up he’s the one sent the pen or if Cease doesn’t progress he’s the one sent back to Charlotte when Kopech comes up.

Unlike a guy like Rich Hill, Walker or Wood, Gio is good enough and durable enough to pitch a full season as the 4th starter.

I like this move. He is our #5 until Kopech comes up. And if he is still healthy and performing well at that point, he can either become a long reliever for us, or take Lopez's spotin the rotation if he is outpitching him.

Now go sign Ryu and Castellanos and they can give the Indians and Twinkies a run for their money in the division.

Wow, short leash you're giving Cease.

I can see you tried just reading the 1st few posts then commenting instead of your usual way of reading the whole thread.  LOL you get burned either way when you are late to the news.

Fathom already said it's better upon review of his stats.  I was going to suggest he then delete his 1st post , decided not too . Oh well

Normally I hold off if I’m late to the party, but in this case I was surprised by the initial reactions by some posters I generally agree.

I think it depends a lot more on Cease's control than his era. 

Struggling is struggling, unless his ERA is inflated due to some uncommon fluke. Sox are in a position to compete next year and they should not move Gio to the pen in favor of Cease in the scenario I mentioned.

I feel like his ERA was inflated last year due to giving up more HRs than what normally would be expected.  He seemed to have a habit of pitching 4 great innings every game, and then having one inning where everything just fell apart.
