No....He's a very good pitcher who is under contract.
I also know what he is NOT....

Was one game enough to know what he was before? He's the only Sox starter with a playoff win.

I've thought for at least a year that he was going to run to southern california at the first opportunity free agency provides. If the Sox think that as well, what does it hurt to play hardball in arbitration.

Because he seems overly emotional and they need him to pitch well if they’re going to win anything?

Lucas is a diva? What does that make Kopech?

Something that he personally needs to figure out if he wants to fool someone into believing that he's an ace on the open market. He's done nothing to justify his diva tendencies.

Sure, but wouldn’t you rather he figure that out after he helps the Sox win a WS rather than when it comes time for Jerry to save $50k?

I think Giolito is a good #2 and a great #3. He isn't the guy that I want to have the ball in an important game. Especially on the road.

He also could have taken $50k less. The Sox aren't obligated to bend over for him.

Nas is right. Isn’t Lucas being just as petty not saying forget the 50k?

I think the billionaire owner is being more petty (over 50K)

jerry reinsdorf grew up poor in an era before jews were white

Lucas is an entitled, second generation entertainer whose family hasn't seen a callous since we dropped the big one

you have the power dynamic inverted

A guy who had a broken heart?

BigW is still depressed from the playoffs.

Sox were right to hold money back from this fraud. You wanna be paid like an ace? Shut the opposition down when you're staked a 5 run lead.

I agree that he is a fraud, he is fools gold. He know this isn't a 1:1 comparison because of the their arsenals, but he is a Jon Garland. You think he could be an ace, but he just fucks it up. There is no mental toughness with this kid.

An ace is dependable. You knew that Buehrle would go out there and battle nearly every game. You felt great when you gave Buehrle a 5 run lead. You felt good about giving Buehrle the ball against a great team. You can't say that about Giolito because he's not an ace and never will be. He's an entitled kid with some really good tools.
