The Carson and Carlos Show the last 2 years. Obviously the Sox like guys whose 1st name starts with CAR.

Was not the guy I had picked but I'm not complaining. Happy to call Fulmer a member of the White Sox organization.

 

I am laughing at the idea of Sale, Rodon and Fulmer in the same rotation a year or two from now and the amount of K's those three will generate. Have mercy!

So chances are we will see Fulmer in Sept? That's the plan?

 

 

He's the perfect solution for the 8th inning set-up guy, haha.

 

Following the Sale/Rodon plan.

 

Wouldn't be totally surprising...would have to review Fulmer's collegiate workload this year, he just ramped up this season from previously being a closer/reliever.

Wooo, posted all last two years about wanting Rodon and Fulmer, got them both

 

Yep, same here. It's weird to follow a guy for nearly a full year hoping he would be the pick....and then he is the pick. I've been following Vandy baseball on twitter all season getting updates on all of Fulmer's starts. lol.

Hope for the best. Can't blame them for taking a pitcher.

 

i will say this, i was not for Fulmer, but now that he is a sox, i want him to fully develop. i really think he needs arm strength. it is going to be interesting.

 

i also hopes he stays and develop as a sp.

Fulmer says he wants to be a starter, would do whatever to help team though.

There's no reason to rush him up into a bullpen.

That's such a waste of an asset.

Using #8 pick in the draft to create a bullpen pitcher isn't a serious effort.

now that is what i want to hear..... someone who is team first. any word on his agent???

welcome to the world of the sox FO.

He's already pitched A LOT this year. I hope the Sox just give him a couple of token five-inning starts in Winston-Salem sometime this year.

When Himes drafted McDowell, Ventura, Thomas, and Fernandez, no one complaned they were rushed.

Rays take Whitley. That may be a good one.

No internet

to tell you the truth, i can't remember much from that era. but again, look at the talent level, how can you compare those guys to a Jared Mitchel, Josh Phegley, Aaron Poreda, Gordon Beckham.

Quick write-up post on the White Sox selecting Carson Fulmer with the 8th pick: http://www.chicagonow.com/future-sox/2015/...-with-8th-pick/

 

There is video attached to the Draft Tracker: http://www.chicagonow.com/future-sox/2015/...t-tracker-2015/

 

Expect a detailed Fulmer piece from me later this evening.

 

FULMER!!! :D

Love Carson Fulmer. Not because he's Sonny Gray 2.0. He isn't. Delivery isn't nearly as bad as others think, though, and stuff is monstrous.

That's because they turned into McDowell, Ventura, Thomas and Fernandez.

 

Here's video of Fulmer seeing that the Sox picked him

No, but the term rushed is overblown IMO.

I say don't tell me, show me when it comes to that kind of thing

Here's video of Fulmer seeing that the Sox picked him

 

Awesome video.

Fulmer was my #1 pitcher over Tate, and way way over Jay. Couldn't be happier.

 

I have no problem with how they choose to handle Fulmer going further. They have handled "rushing" pitchers just fine. It's like the one thing I have faith in this front office to handle.

Is it a 99.9999 % chance that he will sign?

Cubs going all the hitters, haha.

 

Opposite of the White Sox, all the pitchers/all the lefties.

That is always their prefernce. Hitters aremuch easierto projectin the analytics. So they draft the safer players and spend the big contracts on pitching.
