Jack Parkman Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 At this point, it seems like the Sox still can't identify talent. Those who didn't trust this front office to pull it off seem correct. I Had been a huge fan of both Moncada and Giolito, but it seems as if the Nationals and Sawx are laughing to the bank. They both look like AAAA fodder currently.

Heads22 Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 4.48 ERA in AAA last year. 78 career IP. Can we please not act like this is the final version of Giolito? His mechanics don't look the greatest, but this year is for him to figure s*** out. It has to take complete enjoyment out of watching baseball to write him off right now.

flavum Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 (edited) Yes, first full season for Giolito. Out of 32, he’ll have 8 starts that are terrible. Edited April 13, 2018 by flavum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can we please not act like this is the final version of Giolito? The issue with him is that he's lost 7 mph off the heater since 2016. He doesn't have good enough command to live under 93-94ish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously they both look like s*** right now, but it’s not even halfway through April. Let’s give them some time before we declare trade winners.

I know I need to be patient, but it seems that those who become good to stars come up and light the world on fire and don't look back. No struggles at all. It also seems like anyone, once they struggle, never seem to recover. Part of it is that I'm really concerned about a 2020 players strike eating into the window if it opens. I really want these guys to put it together asap, because a labor stoppage is coming and it isn't going to be pretty.

Chicago White Sox Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Benetti is really annoying when things are going south. Reminds me of my retired dad who would call me up and wish me a “Happy Monday” each week. At least with Hawk he conveyed the same emotion you were feeling.

No struggles at all. It also seems like anyone, once they struggle, never seem to recover. I don’t think that’s the case at all. I’d say most young guys take some time to figure s*** out at the major league level. The Aaron Judges of the world are the exception. Moncada was always going to require a development curve because of his swing & miss issues. Giolito was always going to be a work in progress because of his mechanical issues. Doesn’t make watching this s*** any less painful and it’s easy to panic, but it’s only been 11 games. Things may not ultimately work for these guys but give it more time.

soxfan49 Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Maybe they would have been better off losing 14-7 on OD and perhaps this f***ing garbage would be more expected. Either way this is god damn embarrassing. #RickysBoysBlow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
