Always see him around in the dugout and on the field playing catch before games. Now I know. Edited June 29, 20178 yr by ChiSox59

July 9, 20178 yr Futures Game at 3pm on MLB Network. Kinda dumb they couldn't have negotiated this to be Sunday Night Baseball instead of Indians-Tigers. There should be 15 day games today.
July 10, 20178 yr Author Two things I noticed that may or may not mean something... None of the pitches to Moncada were actually strikes until he swung. I really loved how quickly Kopech worked. Hopefully he works that fast all of the time. With a guy that throws that hard, it has to really get the adrenaline pumping, don't let the hitters relax at all.

July 10, 20178 yr QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Jul 10, 2017 -> 10:03 AM) I hope to god that isn't the case. Kopech should be given every opportunity to start. He will be. We have plenty of back end of the pen options. Kopech won't be one until he proves he cannot start.

Yeah, there is zero need to rush him that way. he would have to be an absolute bust as a starter to get moved to the pen. Maybe even multiple failures at starting in AAA before that would happen.
