Fulmer is highly unimpressive. Lucky he hasn't given up 3-4 runs already. Not MLB starting caliber to me

 

I agree. Right before he gave up the homer, I was thinking that he doesn't look in control of what he's doing. It's throw the ball and hope.

The question is can Fulmer even have enough control going all out for a couple of innings to be another Addison Reed?

If he's throwing 94-97, his mechanics are going to be all over the place with that delivery of his.

 

Stephens, two more scoreless innings so far. Pointless to mention offense for BIRM.

I just think Fulmer's stuff has backed up so much, he's never going to be a big league contributor. Don't forget the lack of velocity improvement last year when he was in the pen. To me, he's fallen behind Stephens and Guerrero as a prospect

Adolfo with go ahead single in bottom of 7th. 825 ops.

Make that game winning RBI, 7 inning affair. Morrison 0.56 era.

 

LUIS Robert, 4 walks already.

 

Take the DSL walk number with a HUGE grain of salt. Pitchers have no control down there. 14 walks to 9 K between the two teams today.

Burdi is another one who really should be more dominant, but they've moved him really quickly...he might have been better off in AA with Kopech to start the year.

 

In the end, hopefully those second tier guys like Dunning, Adams, the two you mentioned...at least one of them emerges. As long as Kopech, Giolito and Lopez make it, or at least 2/3, they'll be fine. It's relatively easy to find a fifth starter, we have four vets on the big league roster doing essentially that right now.

Well, it's certain many opposing pitchers are going to be careful with him...and it's better than the alternative of putting up a low OBP, no matter what the level. Being off the playing field for a full year, it's going to take a month at least before his timing is back. Obviously he looked fine on that hr swing.

I feel much better looking at the box score and seeing 0 strikeouts for him. Obviously he's not being challenged.

Agreed with this. A closer taken with the 26th pick in the draft should be pitching very well in the majors right now or putting up absurd numbers in AAA.

His FIP is mid 2's with 13 k/9 and a .377 BABIP.....he's fine

Hansen needs to be in W-S....sounds like it should be soon according to Hostetler's podcast today with chuck

 

Garfien has really picked up his game this year with prospects, draft, minor league stuff in general...having two impressive farm systems in one city makes it easier, obviously.

 

For five years, the Sox were irrelevant with their major and minor league teams. Easy to become apathetic about covering it.
