I am not one to get worked up about minor league deals, but I hope this guy doesn't throw a pitch for the 2020 White Sox.  

He's better than Despaigne...that's about all I've got to say.

This. He'll help Charlotte though.

HAHN’S LEAGUE!

There’s our second starting pitcher option for the offseason!!!

So am I

I was thinking that you would think Hahn has better things to do but is a move like this just done by some underling?..."Rick, we can get Detwiler back on a minor league deal.  Should I do it?"... "Sure but don't give him an invite to training camp."

The Sox still need AAA starters; for all that are up in arms about this signing.

I have no objection to you getting a minor league deal...the $$ does need to be spent after all.

Master negotiating tactics by Hahn here

The baby has been birthed gentlemen.

 

No really, always good to add vet arms to Charlotte.

Someone update the Field of Dreams graphic 

Whoohooo White Sox Wednesday indeed baby!

Maybe Hector Santiago is next. I get it, it's a minor league signing to perhaps fill the Charlotte staff, but can't they find something more interesting.  You aren't going to want this guy on the mound in Chicago, he hasn't put up a 1 WAR since Kevin Youkilis was playing 3rd for the White Sox and you know most of the Charlotte staff seems to appear at least briefly in Chicago at some point. 

I get most guys that get what he gets are brutal. But maybe one of them has a shot to be better. He doesn't.

Agreed, even as a last resort starter in Charlotte, the Sox already saw what he could do...  and it was awful.  Why wouldn’t you try someone else?

No need for this try someone new. 

I doubt the #1 driver of veteran minor league contracts is performance. 

Maybe they like how he works? His messaging to younger pitchers? 

I'm not gonna waste my energy judging a minor league filler signing.

Sox have done this the past few seasons with other guys. Donn Roach was brought back twice, so was Chris Volstad prior. I think they just like bringing back guys that they know have good work ethics and know what to expect. 

Nova next ? 

Well, if Nova starts out slow again this year, we can bring back the stories of the Chevy Nova's introduction into the Latin American market.

Would prefer Fulmer and Nova to Detwiler and Covey.

The Sox already have three of those guys.  Don’t get so greedy with adding crappy SP options!

How's he fit into the #TeamHahn picture?
