fathom Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 QUOTE (ChiSoxFanMike @ Apr 10, 2018 -> 07:27 PM) He's very good if he only has to pitch an inning or two at a time. Obviously that isn't what we hoped for when the Sox drafted him, but he could still be a valuable contributor on the next good Sox team. Hopefully his velocity increases a bit as reliever. Two years ago, it did not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose Abreu Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 10, 2018 -> 02:34 PM) Davidson had 19 walks in all of 2017. He has 7 in 2018. For a team like this, I really think he's the ideal 6/7 hitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're not ready to accept some struggles from Carson Fulmer this year I don't know what to tell you. There's a talented pitcher in there, but I'd wager he winds up with an ERA above 5.00 this year. We're trying to undo the damage we did to him in 2016, so that's our penance.

Too many walks, way too few strikeouts from the starters. Oh well, at least Kopech/Cease/Dunning have looked good and Lopez looks great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Parkman Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 (edited) Repeat after me: player development is not a linear function. There are zero guarantees that these guys come up and become stars right away. That is more rare than your typical player development function which is more like a sinusoidal function. Full of peaks and valleys. Edited April 10, 2018 by Jack Parkman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 I'm honestly not overly alarmed by this kind of outing from Fulmer. It's obviously not good but I knew he was going to fight his command a lot and that's what this was. I'm encouraged because his stuff looked good and they struggled to square him up. I'm prepared for much of his season to be filled with this kind of inconsistency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capn12 Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Looking at it on paper, a home stand against a bad Detroit team, and an even worse Tampa Bay team, looked like a way to build on the 3-2 road trip start. Shows what I know, I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
