Fulmer was someone at Vandy that never had the best command, but got away with lots of bad swings by opposition on pitches out of the zone due to his superior stuff.

QUOTE (SoxAce @ Aug 22, 2017 -> 03:01 AM) I like the Hayes discussion about Collins. Next year will be huge for him with an adjusted swing. Everyone should listen to south side Sox podcast with the baseball prospectus writer on it. Some good insight in Collins and others.

QUOTE (mmmmmbeeer @ Aug 22, 2017 -> 03:00 AM) What happened to him? I don't recall any serious injuries he's suffered. Given the Sox decent success the last couple of years with pitching prospects in ml, I don't buy that they ruined his mechanics. May just come down to confidence....we rushed him up far too soon after being drafted and he got knocked around a good bit. Mechanics are way different than at Vandy

QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Aug 22, 2017 -> 01:59 AM) Ian Happ would look good in our system/in our lineup right now. Thank god for those two extra wins that prevented Sox from getting who they wanted

QUOTE (Jack Parkman @ Aug 22, 2017 -> 02:53 AM) Whichever scout recommended Fulmer should be put on notice, if not fired now. he does not have major league quality stuff. He did at Vandy. Doesn't come close to resembling that guy now

QUOTE (reiks12 @ Aug 22, 2017 -> 01:50 AM) keep throwing balls Carson, sure is working Hey, let him enjoy this. Never know if he ever makes it back to a big league mound

QUOTE (Tony @ Aug 22, 2017 -> 02:48 AM) Yikes. Usually when you are one of the worst pitchers in AAA, it's not going to translate well at the majors unfortunately

QUOTE (BamaDoc @ Aug 22, 2017 -> 02:48 AM) He doesn't seem to have any command nor any true put away pitch that I am seeing. He is getting to some two strike counts but failure to locate is killing him. Not a single swing and miss

Hopefully they give up on the starting career and start seeing if he can salvage his career as a reliever

Dear lord, he might be worse than Covey.

QUOTE (reiks12 @ Aug 22, 2017 -> 01:43 AM) well.. he has been absolutely terrible in AAA this year so don't know why I am upset about his terrible performance so far tonight Yep he's a total afterthought in the rebuild now. If you get any contributions from him as a reliever, you consider it a nice surprise. Let's hope the drafting improves as we go forward.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Aug 22, 2017 -> 01:43 AM) Stone says it's just too much adrenaline Must have had too much for the last three seasons then

Sad to see how much his offspeed stuff sucks compared to at Vandy. He's someone I comfortable labeling as a bust

Burger's groundball rate is scary. Better hope he learns how to lift

Cass going to have 6 months off to work on that tan some more

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 22, 2017 -> 01:50 AM) Good lord. Why did so many people want a rebuild if they can't handle a few months of bad play from a rookie? To be fair, a lot thought he was supposed to be can't miss and ignored the red flags he showed in AAA this year. I keep saying Eloy is the one with MVP potential and Moncada can be an All Star if it goes right

Just ugly from Yoan. Has no idea how to protect and his swing from right side is not MLB caliber

Braun won the night

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Aug 21, 2017 -> 12:43 AM) The preshow tag match was soooooooo good though. Yep missed that and have only seen the main broadcast

Worst first 70 minutes of a major ppv ever?

Perfect example of why Anderson sucks as a hitter there.

QUOTE (BlackSox13 @ Aug 20, 2017 -> 07:35 PM) Am I crazy or did I just see a commercial for tonight's Charlotte game at 7:00? Yep tape delay

QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 20, 2017 -> 07:45 PM) Tatis is a teenager in AA. Hahn is lucky he didn't get fired after last season

Never seen a pitcher consistently miss arm side as much as Goldberg.

QUOTE (Scoots @ Aug 20, 2017 -> 02:32 AM) You know I might just be speaking out of emotion here, but I don't think Anderson belongs on a major league roster, let alone a starter. As a hitter, he has some pop but no patience, and it seems like he doesn't have a plan going up to the plate. It's the same with every pitcher. He also has hardly any pitch recognition. He just went on a hot streak, which was nice, but it seems like it's over. His defense, we've all seen it. He's not a shortstop. Maybe a second baseman. Has at the very least one more season to prove what he can do, and likely gets another year after that no matter what. He's shown a disturbing lack of improvement this year, which isn't shocking in this organization
