White Sox Sign Ross Detwiler

By Jeff Todd | May 9, 2019 at 12:37pm CDT

The White Sox have added veteran lefty Ross Detwiler on a minor-league arrangement. The transaction was announced by the indy ball York Revolution, the club that Detwiler opened the season with.

Detwiler, 33, had turned in three solid starts in Atlantic League action to earn his way back into the affiliated ranks. The former sixth overall draft pick has thrown in parts of ten MLB campaigns.

If he’s to make it back to the bigs, Detwiler will need to earn his way onto the Chicago roster with a good showing at Triple-A. He hasn’t spent substantial time in the majors since 2016, with only one start logged since that time.

Over 584 career innings, Detwiler owns a 4.36 ERA with 5.5 K/9 against 3.3 BB/9. Though he never reached the ceiling suggested by his draft position, he had his moments with the Nats. From 2011-13, Detwiler threw 301 2/3 innings of 3.46 ERA ball while working mostly as a starter.

      Don’t sell Chisox management short. They are very capable of going lower.
      If he throws 2 innings of shutout ball, Reinsdorf will try to flip him.
      And Stone will try to sell him, as Aroldis Chapman.

          They should be trying to raise the bar – bring some decent players to town.
          May as well recalled Carson Fullmer lol.

          Missed your other comment. Yes, very astute observation, Sherlock. You’re right, they should be trying to raise the bar and bring some decent players to town. Great analysis! Hahn should’ve consulted you first before engaging in these meaningless minor league transactions. Another golden opportunity Hahn let slip through his fingers.

      I laugh that you react as if there were any significance to this meaningless minor league deal. If he’s lucky, he will make it to Chicago in Sept when the Sox are playing out the string on their way to 90+ losses. Most likely, he won’t get a sniff of MLB ball this year (if he ever will again).

        We aren’t losing 90+ this year at all. This team can hit. This is not the year for us end of story but going out and getting a Dallas Keuchel who Throws low 90s and is inconsistent is not the answer. Wait till next year when the team is healthy and we go after a guy like Gerrit Cole

        So you bring him in for a look-see. Is there any harm to a team in a rebuild kicking the tires on a former top prospect?

          I think the “former top prospect”
          moniker expires around 27-28. At that point you are what you are. Detwiler put together one fully productive season seven years ago.

          Worked with the likes of Swarzak, Kahnle and Soria, who netted the Sox some value in subsequent flips. Tyler Clippard, not so much. Then again one man’s Gold is one man’s Boone Logan.

    The kind of move they should be making. You do something like this with 10 players scattered around the diamond, at very little cost.

    If one, just one, turns out worth flipping you are a step ahead in the rebuild.
