Per Ken R:

I guess they are going to sign some "deep depth" from the California Penal League.

Free-agent RHP Miguel Gonzalez is in agreement with the #WhiteSox on a one-year contract, sources tell The Athletic. Gonzalez had a 4.02 ERA in 268 2/3 innings with the White Sox in 2016-17.

10:49am: The White Sox have agreed to a one-year deal with free agent righty Miguel Gonzalez, according to Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic (via Twitter). He’ll receive a $4.75MM salary, per Chris Cotillo of SB Nation (Twitter link).

Interesting to see what he does paired up with Castillo.

2017 year:

Quote

In 2017, he threw 156 total frames over 27 starts, working to a 4.62 ERA with 5.8 K/9 and 3.2 BB/9. Gonzalez carried career lows in average fastball velocity (91.2 mph) and swinging-strike rate (6.7%), though those figures aren’t wildly out of line with his established norms.

Hey RR, Happy New Year to you. Get your Bowie Mini-Pack yet?

We both know Castillo is a recipe for disaster for pitchers but I think Gonzo is an astute pitcher. His stuff may not be A+ but he keeps holding his own. He will suffer, but I doubt it will be that bad. You know who will suffer? Gioloto and the younger guys.

Btw-Weams and I disagree on this. But when I heard Gioloto might be a centerpiece of a deal-I hit up Weams, lol. BEWARE. Rizzo is no dummy. Gioloto is a backend SP at best. The ChiSox know it too. I was afraid we were going to get him as a centerpiece and almost freaked out:)

Good luck to him!

I am the one who told Rene five years ago that Robbie Ray was the gem of the Nats minor leagues pitching. So I call them occasionally. He'll confirm this.

Thank you.

As expensive SP is and FA market being limited.

There is a reason Miggy only got 4.67 million.

I think in the AL East, he would do worse here, just my gut.

But, hell, Ive been wrong before, and will again. :)

With Castillo behind the plate, I would agree with you. With Joseph, not so much, just my thoughts.

I never expected Dan Duquette to sign Miguel Gonzalez, as it would be essentially admitting he was wrong for cutting him for nearly the same money that the White Sox just signed him for. :shrug:

I never wanted Dan Duquette to sign Miguel Gonzalez because he's not that good.

      Co-hitting coach Ryan Fuller, Fredi Gonzalez and Jose Hernandez let go

      By ShoelesJoe · Posted

      If they were going to get rid of Fuller they should have done it a month and a half ago. The issues with our hitting were apparent the whole second half of the season. Maybe a firing or two would have sent a message to the players prior to their postseason fizzle. .

      What does Eflin and Jimenez signify? It was a very small addition to the payroll. John Angelos would have approved that, if he needed to approve anything at all.

      Would you say that the Tigers rebuild is more successful than the O's?

      By glenn__davis · Posted

      I'm not sure that's quite it.  Well, more importantly, I'm not sure that's quite it for me. I absolutely want to win more in the playoffs.  At this point there's no question that for me I'd live through some lousy seasons if it guaranteed a World Series trophy.  I'd give up a lot for that. But unfortunately it's the weird paradox, especially in baseball, where the games that mean so much in terms of perception actually mean very little.   Just look at some the threads posted on this board in recent weeks. "Do the Orioles need more experience"?  (studies have shown this is not the case) "Maybe they need a certain type of hitter/approach!" (no, studies have shown that's not it either) "They must need to build their bullpen a certain way." (nope) "Well you have to be playing well in September to have a chance in October!"  (very much not true) "It must be those nice white boys need somebody to be a jerk" (OK, no real way to quantify that one :)) The Astros must have the secret sauce, they went to the ALCS a lot of times in a row!  Oh, they lost in the 1st round this year. Study after study after study shows that there is no pattern.  There is no "right" way to do it.  There's no way to predict from year to year which teams will or will not go on the run. If for that crazy 8-9th inning on the day after the season the Mets may not have even made the playoffs.  Now they're the example of guys that can "get it done". It's not an excuse, and frankly it's not really my opinion.  It's reality. I do 100% agree with your last 2 sentences.  I don't know what we've done to so displease the baseball gods.

      The Difference between the O's and other Playoff teams

      Exactly!

      Kevin Seitzer hitting coach?

      By maybenxtyr · Posted

      It's definitely a possibility, but I wonder if there is actually something going on between Hyde and some players, would it be smart to bring his potential replacement in and subject him to the problem?    The fans, mostly here are the main source of BB being a manager. He's definitely had some MiL success so it's not unreasonable to assume he will be a manager someday.

      By JR Oriole · Posted

      I think this is spot on in every way.  But I think the fanbase is somewhat divided on how important playoff success is. Put another way, for you, me, and a lot of folks, the playoffs mean a ton.  41 years with no championship or even a pennant is a real long time, and the narrative of the Orioles since 1983 has gotten extremely old. Even the narrative of this winless recent edition of the Os has gotten old. For other fans, the regular season means much more and winning/losing in the playoffs doesn't carry much weight because of the nature of the tournament.   There is no right or wrong way to be a fan of a team. But I can say that if you told me the next 10 years would involve 9 seasons where we lose 90+ games and 1 season where we win the World Series, I will gladly sign up for that.  I am definitely at that point where that title means everything to me and yes 29 teams go home without the ring each year, but 1 team does get it and that needs to be us. And if we get "lucky" like the Tigers on the path there, then bring it on! If the playoffs are a crapshoot, I am tired of that crapshoot rewarding everyone else.

      More than once Fredi displayed a lack of control that cost him his job.
