tray Posted Monday at 10:17 PM Share Posted Monday at 10:17 PM After the endless mocking of Getz for referring to Acuna as a switch hitter, that trade might end up being one of the best moves he has made. Some fans thought the Sox should never have re-signed Luis Robert, but Getz got that contract covered plus Acuna, who could end up as an excellent player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autumn Dreamin Posted Monday at 10:19 PM Share Posted Monday at 10:19 PM Cannon's perfect 3IP last time out was with a very 4-seam heavy mix. He got hit a little in his first inning tonight tinkering with his other offerings (only threw 2 4S), although one hit was an unlucky grounder that clipped off his foot into LF. Went back to throwing more 4S for a clean second inning, then gave up a solo shot on a high one to lead off his third inning. His changeup had been effective in his previous outings, but he didn't throw any until his final few pitches today. Statcast is having a hard time distinguishing his slider and sweeper live, curious to see what his pitch mix ends up looking like once that's corrected. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Fox was saying something like that on last week's FutureSox podcast. WST may have dropped the ball by not taking Acuña's prospect seriously, and pretending it was only a salary dump. They'd wanted Acuña for over a year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The endless mocking of Getz for not knowing that Acuna wasn’t a switch hitter has nothing to do with hoping Acuna turns into a good player. A GM should know the batting handedness of the player he is acquiring in a trade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a fireable offense. But also not burnishing the credentials of a front office that has had to face credibility questions for three consecutive seasons in the national media. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
