Lopez was the most improved pitcher in baseball the final two months of the season- he was an entirely different guy.
January 29, 20197 yr He gives me a very D.J. Carrasco vibe. I'm not really expecting much out of him. Looks like a solid arm that will eat innings if/when the rotation had a bad start.
January 30, 20197 yr I think Banuelos is a bit different than most reclamation projects. For one, we actually traded for him despite the fact he would have been a minor league free agent. Given that our organization has one of the largest scouting departments in the majors, these are the types of signings that should theoretically pay dividends in the long-run. Guess we’ll have to see if zagging when everyone else is zagging works out here.

There was a stretch of about 5 starts last year when people were trying to convince themselves that Covey had turned a corner and was about to be Corey Kluber.

February 3, 20197 yr Michael Jordan, a noted white sox fan was asked about what Manny's ceiling was and he offered his thoughts.
February 3, 20197 yr We should get a good clue about Manuel B in April since he has to make the team in order to stay with the Sox. That one scout really went to bat for him. Hopefully will not remind anyone of Felipe Paulino.
