If you haven't figured out the White Sox (shitty) business model by now then you haven't been paying attention. Anyone who knows my posts knows that's not me. I'm realistic. I'm merely sad because of what could be but won't. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If not SP, maybe give him a shot at long R. But if he's traded, I'd get over it quickly. Added: if he's traded and does well then no fault to RH. ReyLo got chance after chance.

bmags 5,662 Posted January 19 Lopez's stuff isn't very good. They did correct some of his fastball which now has more rising movement than running, which was part of his command problem. But that's a lot of his issues, every thing moves laterally rather than getting good rise or sink, and hitters don't have as much issue with that, especially when they can't locate it. It's partly why getting a curve back will help. Like even if Katz finds a curveball with him, he needs one much better than this. His stuff looks like Quintana except Q is an artist with command and pitching feel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is it just my perception or isn't notorious for getting ahead early in the count then picking at and missing the edges until 6-7 pitches later 2-2 & 3-2 counts? If so, this seems like it could be easily corrected by STOP DOING THAT! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thxfrthmmrs 649 Posted January 20 I would think this puts more legs on a Burnes trade. It seems like dominos are falling. It could be a scenario where Sox were Q's preferred destination, but Sox pivoted to Burnes instead and a deal is near, so he went for the Angels. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tnetennba 1,478 Posted January 20 1/$8M seems pretty ideal for Q. Very curious what else Hahn has up his sleeve to fill out the rotation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

By all accounts, Quintana enjoyed being a White Sox and at this point would probably have loved to stay in Chicago. He might have been waiting for a final word from the Sox. And they might have just told him no because of something else about to happen.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chisoxfn 768 Posted January 20 This really surprises me - this move just made so much sense to me. Hopefully Sox really are thinking bigger and bigger will work out and be the right move in the long run! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
