April 23, 20196 yr I know Hansen has been a starter his entire career until this year, but do you guys think there's any chance the Sox keep him as a reliever moving forward? He seems to be thriving in that role.

He seems to be thriving in that role. They said the plan was to stretch him back out. He was also went through the same thing in college. He was a starter, in contention for 1-1 draft status, fell apart, got sent to the bullpen, Sox drafted him, was made a starter again, flourished, etc. He lost 40 lbs. last year, regained it this year. Hopefully he'll just continue to stretch out and be starting in AA by the end of the year. Also, speaking of players needing promotions like Walker, what about Gunnar Troutwine? Dude is slashing .379/.514/1.100. 8 walks to 9 strikeouts. Catchers throughout the system seem to be holding their own at the moment so it might be a log jam, but that's just about the best log jam to have.

Gunnar Troutwine?

April 23, 20196 yr 3 hours ago, DirtySox said: I'm worried he breaks again if he returns to starting. I have the same thought, but what if he ends up being the White Sox version of an impact reliever? A guy who is put into high-leverage situations with overwhelming stuff when he's on. Yeah, we'd rather have him be successful as a starter (and the SP depth has taken some blows recently), but I'd take Hansen as a stud reliever right now. Sign me up

April 23, 20196 yr Glad to see Hansen return to form but not going to get that excited about a 24 year old succeeding as a reliever in high A.

April 23, 20196 yr It is exciting to see Hansen succeeding at all this year. If in the end, he ends up being a good reliever, then fine. He was a total mess last year. Lock down bullpens are very important these days in baseball, if that is how some of our young "starting" pitchers develop that will work too.

As someone noted (sorry forgot who) they should get creative and try some of these guys as an opener.
