July 4, 201510 yr QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jul 3, 2015 -> 07:47 PM) Er, strike that. Fulmer just said he'll be reporting to Arizona on the 10th. Weird. Rodon did the same thing. They go there for evaluation and to fix any minor adjustments the coaches see. Fulmer should be in Kanny soon.

July 4, 201510 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 4, 2015 -> 10:46 AM) Did he throw a strike? Yes. If the first pitches weren't televised it was actually pretty funny. At the game they gave out foam shark hats/fins as a part of a promo by Discovery Channel for Shark Week. So they actually had 3 different first pitches. They had a dude in a shark costume throw out the first one, and he was high and outside to Samardjiza (shark to shark). The second first pitch was thrown out by Chicago native Tony Allen (the basketball player). He bounced one 10 feet in front of home plate. So a guy in a shark suit threw a better first pitch, then an NBA player. Fulmer was right on the money.
July 5, 201510 yr Author QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 4, 2015 -> 09:57 AM) Did they say if he'll start in the rotation or the pen? I would imagine he'll start in the pen. He has a ton of innings already.

July 13, 201510 yr QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Jul 13, 2015 -> 07:01 PM) They wont. in your opinion, would they fast track him or slow him down.
July 13, 201510 yr The Sox have depth in the pen now and for 2016 so theres zero point in bringing up Fulmer this year and maybe even next. If the Sox really believe Fulmer will be a starter then keep him in the minors to get used to pitching in a five man rotation. If at some point during the 2016 season Fulmer shows he is ready then call him up. Otherwise let him get used to starting every fifth game and build up his innings. Fulmer should not be called up until he's ready, period.

I think they were planning to call him up regardless of how the season started. They waited until they got the extra year before he hit FA and then called him up almost immediately. They'd even skipped a Noesi start before then IIRC, so Noesi didn't really have much time to be terrible.

Get him used to the routine. 3. Expose him to mlb hitters to start the learning process.

July 14, 201510 yr QUOTE (BigFinn @ Jul 13, 2015 -> 09:43 PM) Any word on Hickman or the other late round draft choices? Hickman won't be signing.
July 14, 201510 yr QUOTE (Joshua Strong @ Jul 13, 2015 -> 09:46 PM) No need to start the clock on him this year, give me the extra year of control everytime Not at the expense for learning. Look at it this way. The sox may have one less year of control but they get one more year of an effective pitcher in the mlb.

July 14, 201510 yr QUOTE (Heads22 @ Jul 13, 2015 -> 10:23 PM) Hickman won't be signing. Correct, he told us (Future Sox) he's not signing. Just found out last night. DJ King is still in theory a possible sign, but I know nothing about the guy.
