Lynn returns in the next few weeks and maybe Cueto proves himself and gets promoted. Also, Joe Kelly should be making his debut soon. My issue is Keuchel. If he doesn't make a major improvement in the next start or two, should we DFA him? We have to make room for Lance, Joe, and maybe Johnny. Keuchel seems to know he can't throw strikes without getting clobbered. So Dallas walks batters or gives them nice pitches to hammer. We are behind Minnesota and we cannot afford to have Keuchel giving up games every 5th start.

Yeah, I have no doubt that if Hahn and Williams tell Jerry its time to move on from Keuchel, he won't stand in the way. Especially since it will save him from Keuchel's $20M vesting option for next year.

Also, Kopach will be innings limited.Riding Shotgun on the Sox Bandwagon since before there was an Internet...

Don't disregard that Hahn and Williams would be telling him that they mucked up with the signing and it's going to cost him $18M? because they did. That might give them a reason to hesitate just a tad. JR might react by canning them both and giving one of us the job.

The Sox are treating Kopech like his innings limit is higher than any of us expected. That's the biggest wild card with the rotation. If Kopech can continue his current level of performance for the full season, the Sox will be more than fine.

How about trade Vaughn, Burger, Colas for Carlos Rodon? 3-0, 1.17 ERA, 23 IP, 38 K’s, 1.2 WAR. Sorry, been lurking here for 20 years and never posted and don’t know how to use teal yet.
Giolito, Rodon, Cease, Lynn, Kopech. What could have been! But I know they needed $5 million of the $18 million for Rodon to give to Leury Garcia. Sorry, I am still bitter!

"I have the ultimate respect for White Sox fans. They were as miserable as the Cubs and Red Sox fans ever were but always had the good decency to keep it to themselves. And when they finally won the World Series, they celebrated without annoying every other fan in the country." Jim Caple, ESPN (January 12, 2011)
