October 4, 20196 yr I forgot he was even in the organization. It will probably be the same with at least a quarter of the 40 man in the next year.
October 4, 20196 yr Fulmer should be out the door as well, but Hahn won't release one of his first-round picks.

There isn't much of a reason to not give Fulmer one more shot. He's out of options, so its do or die for him him next ST. Very likely he is DFA's next March or even early into 2020, but like I said, may as give it one more whirl. Cutting bait doesn't get you anything, and there is plenty of other fat to trim from the 40 man. Edited October 4, 20196 yr by ChiSox59
October 4, 20196 yr Meanwhile the Sox produced three of the 2019 game's best shortstops and racked up 90 losses.

I agree with your strategy, but I think that Hahn would've given up on him a year ago if he didn't draft him so highly.

Joe Borchard for Matt Thornton should remind Sox fans that 1st rounders get extra attempts to salvage something from a failed 1st rounder.

Then the Sox need to hope that Fulmer pitches well enough in ST to give him some trade value. If he's out of options, he doesn't have much of a future in Chicago.
October 4, 20196 yr From what I've read, Fulmer has a top notch spin rate. The Sox haven't been able to do a thing with it. But a team that actually uses analytics would probably love to get their hands on him. There really several other pitchers who should be out the door before him.

October 5, 20196 yr Fulmer needs to not take a minute between every throw and just pitch. You can tell he's over thinking on the mound. His stuff is good enough for the league but you can see him battling his brain when he's out there. Not sure if a change of scenery is going to fix that, even though I know he puts a ton of pressure on himself here and he seems hyper competitive.

We're never going to get that lucky again.
