January 25, 20251 yr 3.10 ERA, 13.7 k/9 in 166 career IP. Good move. May as well be our closer if he's healthy.
January 25, 20251 yr Predictable...at least he knows the division. Not sure about his stuff anymore. Or if he's a flip candidate or simply blocking the path of all those young pitchers who need to establish themselves in 2025.
January 25, 20251 yr 12 Ks, 2 ER in his AAA 6.2 IP rehab assignment last year fwiw. Hopefully there's still something.
January 25, 20251 yr Wasn't he one of the obvious sticky stuff guys who fell apart right after the ban? Should fit in perfectly with our pitching coach.

What Karinchak posted had more to do with how people will fall in line and do potentially questionable things if they are feared into it, when referencing Covid and vaccines. Probably not the wisest of choices to quote Goering but it doesn’t mean that Karinchak is a Nazi/holocaust supporter. Edited January 25, 20251 yr by WhiteSox2023

January 25, 20251 yr He always seemed like a pitcher that would be great, until one outing he would get knocked around, then he would struggle to get it back.
January 25, 20251 yr Good. Maybe he can teach the young guys other way to dox the baseballs that MLB hasn't caught on to yet.
January 26, 20251 yr Never really been a fan of this guy. Once the league cracked down on sticky stuff he was pretty terrible.

Or if he's a flip candidate or simply blocking the path of all those young pitchers who need to establish themselves in 2025. Like who needs to establish themselves and who would he be blocking ? NRI's rarely make the ML team out of spring training especially a guy barely pitched last year who never really overcame his control problem but had nasty K ability at the expense of his control and shoulder. They don't seem like they are in any hurry to add a bunch of young guys to the 40 just yet. If they can flip 4 older relief pitchers at the deadline they'll do it. Which ones get the shot I have no idea. It's going to be a revolving door. You pitch well, you stick, if not , try someone else. If Robert fails in the 1st half getting much of anything at the TDL will be difficult .If you add a bunch of young relief pitchers to the 40 or 26 and they succeed you won't want to trade them . You want to trade the older ones you're picking up off the scrap heap. Maybe you can get a DSL SS .
January 26, 20251 yr While I don't mind this pickup Sox should have looked at Pedro Avila who was DFAed by the guards a week ago. Had good numbers
