4catztoomany 97 Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 My keeper team is just waiting for the moment for him to get called up. Hoping he can keep his control. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CrypTviLL 838 Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Some reputable Sox twitter personalities (Bilek, WSD) are hinting at something big for Saturday. Gonna be Kopech vs. Cubs? Also, Kopech scratched from Thursday start in Charlotte. Smoke...fire. From White sox board that I frequent... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In Wrigley? Yeah that's less than ideal. Still, being scratched is something...Dude is already probably the #2 SP there. Who's the main beat writer for them? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CrypTviLL 838 Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Yes -- The white sox rotation is useless and not a worry. Apparently he did NOT miss his 'scheduled' start yet, but instead they have no one listed on what should be his scheduled start of Friday. Kopech is posting something cryptic as well to add to the mystery: 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Could argue Reynaldo Lopez is better at the MLB level at this moment, I suppose. That would be the only argument tho. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
High&Inside 1,308 Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 there's a lot of smoke. but none from any real sources. It's all fan chatter based around pitching schedule change. However, if he were to pitch Friday in the minors it would be on regular rest. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CrypTviLL 838 Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Yes -- appears to be a false alarm. Sigh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sleepysock 840 Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 Why in the world would the Sox bring him up now when waiting ~27 days saves them an arb year? They have a D-H on June 5. Good chance either he or Rodon makes their first start of the year that day. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They have a D-H on June 5. Good chance either he or Rodon makes their first start of the year that day. I don’t see him up anytime soon. He has specific things to be working on and he hasn’t been doing them efficiently. White Sox aren’t going to call him up to tax a bullpen. They got many guys in rotation to do that. He needs to work on command and his changeup. Once you see those things being decent multiple in a row then start speculating on a call up. I own him in 3 keeper leagues and I’m not expecting him up before July and even then I feel thats a stretch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Another blow up will do nothing to adjust Kopech's big league time frame. Pretty much I agree with what @Cmilne23 said right above you. They want to continue harnessing the command, along with the multiple other factors most can bring up with service time etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post Smallball 484 Posted May 12, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted May 12, 2018 I think he will get called up after this start. Getting blown up shows that he belongs up with the rest of their rotation. 2 12 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nygiantsfan913 317 Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 another "solid" outing by shields today. how the hell does he manage to keep a roster spot over kopech Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sleepysock 840 Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 (edited) Kopech is monkeying around with his changeup and obviously, it isn't working out very well. He doesn't need that pitch to be successful in the bigs. It's something he can tinker with a lot now at AAA, and then play with less so in game with the White Sox, working on it during off days and in the offseason. Early June is still his ETA IMO.
