chitownsportsfan Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 QUOTE (Tony @ Apr 3, 2018 -> 08:41 PM) I said it before, but everyone understood this team would struggle to win 75 games this season, and it’s all part of plan. So far, guys like Shields, Gonzalez and the bullpen have performed as expected..bad. What did people think 85+ losses was going to look like? Going to a lot of 7-5 and 8-6 losses this year.

chitownsportsfan Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 QUOTE (Jack Parkman @ Apr 3, 2018 -> 08:41 PM) Do you expect Lopez and Giolito to be bad too? Then, you're right. That one will be in orbit for the foreseeable future. Wow Avi. I expect them to be around 1-3 WAR. They are young starters and probably aren't going to ace the league in their first full season. The other three guys are going to suck ass and probably be below replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 QUOTE (Scoots @ Apr 3, 2018 -> 07:38 PM) Not sure where you stand with Fulmer, but he's gotta prove to me that he can start. I am not a believer. Sometimes he can barely get out of the first inning. Not even sure if he can be a reliever sometimes. That's exactly where I stand. Said it two years ago I felt Sox crippled his development rushing him (also not a fan of them slowing down his delivery. Had a Lincecum like start). I don't believe he's even a reliever with his control. I hope he proves me wrong and then some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sir Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Missed his last AB, so this is more a delayed statement from earlier, but I’ve always been baffled about why Moncada excites people. Strikes out waaaaay too much. Think Kopech will be the actual prize from the Sale trade, and it won’t even be close. Also, is there anyone left who thinks Saladino doesn’t suck? I called that one a while ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feeky Magee Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Not too sure why we bothered resigning Gonzalez and his 5.39 SIERA/5.65 xFIP. Would have preferred just to do what the Twins did with Pineda and throw one of the Guererro-type fringe prospects at the 5th starter slot and see if something stuck.

I called that one a while ago. I wish I would disagree but f***, there’s something about Moncada that concerns me. It just feels like with every 433 foot HR into 25 mph winds in KC he has 3-4 rough games at the plate. I really, REALLY want to be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I called that one a while ago. I'm not sold on Kopech as a starter. Don't think his change will end up being viable. I do think Kopech will be a hell of a closer. I'm higher on Moncada as a hitter than I am on Kopech as a pitcher. Moncada will probably k 150 times in a season, but I expect him to be Cano with speed eventually. He has too good of an eye for the Zone to not hit eventually. Moncada absolutely crushed some balls in KC that were held in the park by wind and cold weather. Let's not overreact to small sample sizes. Moncada will be fine. Edited April 4, 2018 by Jack Parkman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
