soxforlife05 Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ May 4, 2017 -> 01:43 PM) From the same chat Looking like all 3 have a good chance at seeing the majors imo which would be a haul. Will be interested to see if Dunning gets fast tracked to Birmingham after 3-4 more starts if he keeps it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 IMO, we break-even on the trade if we end up with a #3 type starter and a high leverage reliever. Anything more than that is a clear win for us. Obviously I wish Giolito was doing better out of the gate, but I'm giving it him a few months before I start to panic. Restoring his mechanics was always going to be a painful process and we're seeing that now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 3-4 starts at Winston-Salem is not enough. What's the reason to rush him to Birmingham, anyway? I'm going to guess until the end of June/early July with W-S and then the last two months with the Barons...then maybe playoffs in Birm or Charlotte. It's doubtful WS or Birmingham will make it, has to be Charlotte. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Regarding Lopez, any chance his control problems have been related to working on his cutter? He mentioned in spring training that was something he was focusing on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd pretty much write off this whole year for him to get everything ironed out and hope he can be called up mid season next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackout Friday Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 I'm kind of looking at it as Eaton for Lopez and Dunning, plus this throw in kid Giolito. It helps me sleep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My paranoid reaction/analysis is that Nats GM knew Giolito was lost cause and was looking to unload him anywhere soon before his value dropped off the table, and then RH appeared. Nats have "Playoff Team" written all over them, and Eaton was a great pickup until that injury. Right now, it looks like Dunning and Lopez for an injured Eaton.
