White Sox vs Athletics: Reylo against Bassitt


Recommended Posts

Bassitt is a nice reminder that the Sox made a lot of bad trades before the rebuild.  Or to put it more accurately: they made a lot of short sighted trades.  Bassitt would look pretty damn good as a cheap 5th starter this year.

Oh well, onwards!  Go Sox.

I think every single potential starter for the Sox this year is better than Bassitt.

I'd take a guy coming off 144IP and a 4.4 FIP over Reylo and Gio, easy.

Anyone putting Bassitt in the rotation over Reylo is crazy, imo.

Bassitt is 31 years old and he had one decent season with a 4.4 FIP and 2.1 fWAR. That was in Oakland as well - one of the easiest parks to pitch in baseball.

Gio has been better pretty much every year - last year on a rate basis he was also better.

Lopez is young and already has a higher career fWAR than Bassitt and he has untapped potential. It would be bad for a team to give his innings to Bassitt who has a very limited ceiling and no further development likely.

When both Gios start the year on the IL and Kopech isn't allowed to make the team out of spring training Bassitt would look pretty nice.

Take those bad vibes back to where you got them from
