MeanJoeCrede Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 The current relievers 1.Colome 2.Bummer 3.Herrera 4.Fry 5. Fulmer 6.Marshall 7. Cordero 8.Ruiz * 9.Covey, assuming we sign 2 starters, he gets moved to the pen Who stays? Who goes? Who is tradeable? Who are the potential upgrades left? If we start the season with Covey and Fulmer on the 26 man roster, THAT'S when I call this offseason a bust. We CAN NOT be considered actual contenders if we intend to keep totting those two out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisox378 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Its important Herrera bounce back to his normal dominant self. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisox378 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Our pen really did a good job last season, so many guys stepped up. Hope they continue. I dont mind Fulmer going into long relief and spot start duty, by the way Happy Birthday Carson Fulmer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mqr Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 I imagine some dude I have never heard of will emerge and be a solid reliever, as seems to have happened every year for the last couple. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure we will see Burdi, Johnson, and Foster at some point as well. Plus you still have Schryver too, who did really well before being promoted to Charlotte. I’d still like to see them sign another solid proven arm. Not sure you can depend on Herrera bouncing back and Marshall staying as consistent as he was.

Squirmin' for Yermin Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 I now want to sign BOTH Betances and Harris since we missed out on the impactful starting pitchers and appear to have no interest in Ryu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then he didn't look good again when he came back from that. I still have hope he can help us in the pen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will always root for the kid to really figure it out. He's gotta throw strikes though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BamaDoc Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 (edited) My second half or Sept sleeper is Jacob Lindgren. LHP. Drafted second round by the Yankees in 2014 and made it to the majors in 2015. Injuries wiped out all of 17-18. Picked up off scrap heap and now 26. Made it to High A. Looks like never pitched back to back games but previously stuff was there. At A+, 12 g 17.2ip with 17k and 4 w. If stays healthy may have a chance. Again, this is a very deep sleeper and with injury history certainly could get reinjured and be done. It would make a good story.

BamaDoc Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Wonder if Cincy would have interest in Fulmer. Their pitching coach came from Vandy and fixed alum Sonny Gray. If we have to expose Carson to waivers, I bet they bite so maybe a winter swap when we can get something? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a DSL flier or SS throw in? Obviously he wouldn't have a lot of value so probably best to give him his last chance. Just spitballing that they may be a team willing to give something. Hell, I hope Carson is working with Vandy or some pitching guru this off season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably doesn't come across that way for 2 reasons: I'm a very patient person (I have said and will continue to not cast judgment on this rebuild until it is sought through all the way and we see the end results), and I'm a younger fan than probably most of you. I haven't endured as much losing as most of you, so that probably helps my case. How I didn't jump ship after these last 8 years, I have no idea. I'm hooked on the idea of this rebuild, but if it fails, boy I'm as loyal to baseball and love it just as much as the next guy, but I'm not sure I will.be able to be a part of this organization's culture if this rebuild doesn't succeed.
