He is not a bullpen piece, and unless they change course and transition Kopech into a starter, Lopez is the fifth starter when the inevitable SP injury occurs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Future performance clearly favors the White Sox for the trade, but there are some here who would argue the WS title trumps other arguments. Waiting for someone to post a Tatis Jr. for Geoff Blum trade would have been worth it, because "Flags Fly Forever"! Geoff was definitely worth Ryan Meaux, the player the Sox sent to, wait for it, the San Diego Padres at the 2005 trade deadline. People were saying the Eaton trade was worth it for Washington since they won the WS and Eaton had a good WS performance (with a 1.5 bWAR season, his best with Washington). They also said his WS performance was a good reason for Eaton's White Sox signing in December. Hope it works out, will take the season and whether he is picked up for his option to determine the net result. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's pump the brakes on deeming Katz a miracle worker for just a minute. Katz couldn't "fix" Fulmer, and the results remain to be seen with Cease. Ugh, why didn't they sign another SP this offseason? The bullpen looks like it'll be NAILS, even without seeing much of Hendriks so far. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sox were entering a rebuild and Adam Eaton, an “above-average” outfielder, was traded for what turned out to be one of the Cy Young favorites of 2021 who’s 26 years olds. I don’t really care what Eaton did in Washington. The Sox, or any team does that trade every day of the week, twice on Sundays. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree don’t remember Katz working with fulmer, but it doesn’t matter because no pitching coach can fix him anyway. Fulmer is an albatross cat getting 9 lives because he has some great spin rate. Who cares if you can’t throw a strike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmags Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Fulmer worked with Driveline, who Katz is not associated with. https://theathletic.com/822743/2019/02/19/why-carson-fulmer-trained-at-driveline-this-offseason-to-reclaim-his-college-dominance/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NWINFan Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 Could never figure Lopez out. Seemed to have the potential to be at least a consistent starting pitcher. Don't feel like bashing him. He was frustrating to watch more than anyone else. Perhaps he can catch on with someone else and figure it out. But it is not happening right now.

flavum Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 I’ll give Lopez credit for being pretty durable and he actually had a 2018 season we can only pray Cease could match this season. Hopefully he gets his act together and maybe another team will want him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
