Mike Puma looks at several Free Agent pitching options such as Sean Manaea, Mike Clevinger and Hyun-jin Ryu. About Giolito he says "top selling point might be his ability to consume innings. Giolito, pitched 184 ¹/₃ innings last season...he finished 8-15 with a 4.88 ERA in 33 starts and his 41 homers allowed led the AL."
