1 hour ago1 hr 5 minutes ago, fathom said:On the hook for 7 million for him after this seasonLike I said a week or so ago, he was seemingly giving up a lot of hard hit outs right at defenders in his starts. I think it’s finally leveling out. This guy was never successful in the majors before. Would have rather taken a flier on Giolito for one year and $5+ million or so, although I know all about the arbitration argument over a measly $50K. Edited 1 hour ago1 hr by WhiteSox2023

There were a lot more reasons not to go after him IMO than reasons to get him.

Every throw ends up in CF.Oh yeah I remember well how diabolical those plays can be at around that age level. I feel like my practices back in junior high were like 40% practicing the various 1st and 3rd scenarios. Only for nobody to do the right thing when the games happened...
1 hour ago1 hr Gio had some warning signs of his own in the numbers last year. I wouldn't have been upset if the Sox gave him the same contract they gave Kay, but I have a feeling he was asking for much, much more.

1 hour ago1 hr Remember opening day last year when the Angels left a pitcher out there to die during his MLB debut? What the hell was that about anyway?

There were a lot more reasons not to go after him IMO than reasons to get him.I would have gone with another vet starter then. Point was getting a guy on a one year deal. Kay is more than likely going to be $12 million wasted on a bad lefty reliever once he is moved the the bullpen, and he’ll be back next year. Edited 1 hour ago1 hr by WhiteSox2023
