4uckOffCommieScum Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 (edited) Chapman couldnāt get the ball over the plate last year. There are other options if youāre looking for a reliever to bounce back to previous levels of production. No showing on a playoff team probably wasnāt helping his cause either Edited January 19, 2023 by FourEyesShottenhoffer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

he gone. Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 22 hours ago, CWSpalehoseCWS said: Sox added Mike Morin on a MiLB deal. He hasnāt pitched at all since 2020. Iāll never get why they bring in such random ass arms each year over someone whose actually has potential. Ā 22 hours ago, Bob Sacamano said: There was a thread when he signed but it seems like it was deleted after existing for 20 minutes. This was sometime last week I believe. Ya, that was me. have a connection. Honestly i dont see the downside. from what i gather this was a Katz deal. Katz and morin overlapped with the angels and think he's the reason the sox signed him.Ā Ā He's had success early in his career and overall is a guy who's not going to walk guys. he limits hard contact. not going to really strike guys out, but is a decent bullpen arm.Ā It's really not a bad signing at all - he's been in the majors in every year he was healthy since his rookie season and his xERA is 3.50 range or so for his career. Had TJS during Covid season with Marlins and rehabbed all of 2021. He was caught in the periphery of the Tyler Skaggs death alongside CJ Cron, Harvey, etc. which between that, TJS and being just a serviceable guy seems to have got him blacklisted a bit. Wouldn't be surprised at all to see him up with the team in 2023 and being an option. im biased, but think it's a good signing and obviously very low risk.Ā He's not going to be that electric 98mph fastball out of the pen, but he should get you outs and be reliable.Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
