Calling it now. The only thing in his way is the Sox not being over .500 and Giolito being punished for it in awards balloting. That or Chris Sale gets a lifetime achievement Cy that he "wraps up" in late-July before running a 5.50 ERA the rest of the year.

I would give you equal chances of winning the Cy Young in 2018.

i'd like his chances more if the sox had position players who could pick up a ball. engel is just one guy

At least they don't have 2/3 of the outfield "covered" by Schwarber and Happ.

Glad that makes you feel better about Giolito winning the Cy.

what happened to Bourjos that you said the Cubs signed to be like Jon Jay this year?

3 runs over 6 innings isn't bad. It's not great but it keeps the team in the game. Lester would kill for outings like that.

Based on this logic you must have yesterday's Detroit pitcher penciled in for MVP.

Yeah and I said he wouldn't even be on the team unless they had injuries that necessitated keeping him. I thought he might stay in the organization at AAA in case of an injury, but he's completely gone, which is fine by me.

As far a Giolito is concerned, I saw him pitch against the Cubs in spring training on March 10th and came away impressed. I think he's a top of the rotation guy in the making. Not a Cy Young contender in 2018, but certainly a guy who should have a solid season and wins in double figues, even on a team that will likely lose 90 games.

Still early?

Yes, both in the season and his career.

He has been a major disappointment so far.

Still, he's not yet 24.

Doesn't matter how young he is. What has he shown that makes you believe he will be good?

He’s shown flashes after a brilliant month last September. Time to give up on him though. I mean the great ones never struggle at first.

There were whispers among MLB scouts that Giolito might not be the goods even before he was traded to the White Sox.

the velocity disappeared again

Well then he must be finished. Are there similar whispers about Jimenez, Dunning, Hansen etc.?

No room in the starting rotation anyway with Rodon, Kopech, Hansen, Dunning and Cease.
