Seems like the time bomb just exploded. As I said it was a matter of time, but was too early though.
For the record.
I wasn’t disputing who was a better pitcher o who has better stuff. Disputing that would be dumb.
I was disputing the “pick up” considering their actual profile moving forward. In that regard, 1 month ago when both were healthy, I thought (still thinking) choosing Pivetta is a no-brainer for me.
Pivetta —the way I see it— will be a better pick up for the Sox. It’s very likely Pivetta eats way more innings at a very competitive level —4.0 ERA. Not to mention his cost, control, and specially his upside.
