Stanks is just not going to get it done. Edited April 26, 2016 by soxforlife05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah there's no amount of rationalizing that'll make me think calling up the rookie with the 6 ERA in Birmingham is a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitownsportsfan Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 (edited) Gonzalez seems to leave a ton of balls up out over the plate even if they do have decent movement, he's like a homeless man's Robertson.

Well obviously it was just a mechanical issue if it continues. Don't you think it's a good idea to try him before we gut the farm for another pitcher? Adams is probably going to be traded either way.

Don't you think it's a good idea to try him before we gut the farm for another pitcher? They are not going to gut the farm for another pitcher. Carson Fulmer is not going anywhere either. They will try to get him some successful time at AA, and then they will move him to Charlotte when they think he is ready. I can't see him up here before August 1.

Buehrle>Wood Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Turner is making 1.5 million I believe and has a 1.06 ERA with a .82 WHIP at AAA. Since they hate EJ you'd think Turner is next. Surprised he wasn't 1st actually given his contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 25, 2016 -> 07:33 PM) True........... I do not want to see him this year. Depending on the situation maybe later on, but right now calling him up would just be setting up the Sox rush their prospects complaints. He isn't ready at all.

I can't see him back out for the 5th with his pitch count. I would bet on seeing Putnam for the 5th, and go from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't you think it's a good idea to try him before we gut the farm for another pitcher? Fulmer is not an option. All I've been posting about all night long is perspective on 5th starters. I think if we're gonna gut the farm for anybody it should be a hitter, while we survive with a mediocre back end of the rotation like the rest of the world.
