I think i am just always gonna worry if he is more of a Kyle Hendricks type with that fastball only at 91 mph Not sure why that is a worry. An all star front line pitcher would be pretty nice.

I’m no Getz apologist but the haters are sure quiet about this one so far and very focused on the Fletcher trade. At the big league level, Steven Wilson is looking very good so far too and looks to be very flippable in a few months for additional prospects to effectively add to the Cease haul.

You called a pitcher becoming Kyle Hendriks a worry, and another prospect a problem because he was too short and I am trolling? You might be too fragile for this.

It will work if he throws strikes with it and paints corners while the hitters flail away. . But if it’s just going into the dirt, it won’t work in the majors.

But if it’s just going into the dirt, it won’t work in the majors. He was throwing it up, down, right down the middle... the deception on his change isn't really its movement, it's the change of speeds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might be too fragile for this. Absolutely bc facts and stats back it up. You are delusional in thinking otherwise Count how many good 5'8" or shorter players there are in the bigs. Probably comes to like 1%. Is Mogollon in that 1%. Odds say absolutely not. If you can't handle statistics then shut it. In fact odds say he won't ever make the bigs and that's probably a fact. As for a Kyle Hendricks career, that would be terrible for Thorpe Hendricks has had at best 5 good seasons. After that he has been beyond rostererable. If that's all you want out of Thorpe, again you are delusional. I want Thorpe to have 10+ years of being good. Not sure why you think just 5 then dfa would be a win. In order for success to be sustained at the big league level he will need to add velo, hence my concern Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For prolonged/sustained success he will need to add velocity which proves my worry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is my point. For prolonged/sustained success he will need to add velocity which proves my worry 4-5 good years before age 30 is the definition of sustained success in 2024. Having a 20% above average ERA for your non-"prolonged" career, including 7 of 10 + 100 era+ seasons is getting all of the controlling years of a $15m/yr SP (2nd or 3rd rotation slot) for minimum and arbitration prices. For the Sox that means getting all of their good and cheap years before they become a free agent or get traded. He will most likely be long gone before your theoretical collapse. While you always hope for Hall of famers, if you get that out of Thorpe, that's a win for the Sox. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
