Squirmin' for Yermin Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 This seems idiotic lol. Plus there is much more dead weight than Luis Patino. He's the EXACT type of guy we should be trying out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing Rick Hahn stopped by the offices to say hi at an appropriate interval after being let go, to tell Getz about this one clause in this one contract he forgot to put in the system calendar.

There must be a requirement of him being added to the 40 man roster by a certain date or else this makes no sense. Unfortunately with Fegan no longer part of the Athletic we may never know why. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox59 Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Puke. Patino is a guy I wanted to give an extended try out in the pen in 2024. Anyone know off hand if Patino has been outrighted before? Guessing not based on the pedigree. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably that. Remember it was reported initially that Cousin signed a MLB deal with the Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nrockway Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 Maybe there’s a reason Tampa Bay traded him for cash despite his once upon a time top prospect ranking. Maybe in addition to having a negative career WAR and 5 ERA and even higher FIP, he has no drive to get better. I probably would’ve kept him based on his high strikeout rate, but there’s probably more to the picture. Does he clear waivers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eminor3rd Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 I mean, he's got a big name, but that doesn't mean he's actually any good at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pitch Repertoire At-A-Glance In 2023, they have relied primarily on their Fourseam Fastball (95mph) and Slider (86mph), also mixing in a Sinker (94mph) and Change (85mph). He also rarely throws a Curve (79mph). Seems to me that giving him a shot over the likes of Jessie Scholtens, well, you know EXACTLY what you have with Scholtens at his very best. Obviously Katz and Bannister have reviewed his performance/s the last 2-3 seasons as his prospect status deteriorated to "suspect," but he was one of those placeholders at the very least who were going to protect the likes of Mena/Nastrini/Eder/Bush, etc., from getting exposed too early in 2024. Honestly not even following what's going on with Deivi Garcia, Jose Urena...who knows, maybe Tanner Banks or Crochet will get starts the way things are trending...but it is a bit strange how quickly they gave up on both Brent Honeywell (he was very effective the first half of 2023 as a reliever until wearing down) and Patino, to name just two. Four or five years ago, those were huge names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago White Sox Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 Apparently Cousin signed a two year major league deal, so perhaps there was some clause that required him to be added ahead of a second season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Deep Posted December 21, 2023 Share Posted December 21, 2023 Soo much hand ringing over Luis Patino The dude absolutely sucks. If Tampa Bay gives up on you there is a reason. Let it go fellas and hope Cousin is decent 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's weird that everybody accepts that the White Sox could cut at least 8 dudes off the 40-man without losing anything, but once they get DFAed, "oh anyone but that one guy!!"

But he was a curious choice to DFA (I mean, Sammy Peralta is on the 40 man - that man was batting practice). Patino just seemed like a great guy to give an extended try out to in the pen in 2024. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 One nothing burger trades spots on the 40 for another nothing burger. See deck chairs on Titanic. Patino might actually be better. Cousin is a complete unknown. Hasn't pitched at all in the states and is older than Patino . Looks like he's pretty bad at throwing strikes also. But hey maybe in the 2+ years he hasn't pitched he became good enough to see what he can do in AAA.🤣 Maybe it just came down to options. Did Patino have any left ?

Patino was out of options, so he would have to be carried on the 26-man until he played his way off of it, then DFAed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
