I think Jenks is fine. I dont think he's gonna have a real long career, but I think hes fine for a couple more years.

QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Jun 20, 2007 -> 03:54 PM) I don't care what anyone says, Jenks should be traded before 2008 begins. His declining velocity coupled with past injuries leads me to believe his fall-off could occur within the next several seasons. Considering this team won't contend for several years, why not sell-off the most valuable trading chip? He's practically useless closing out meaningless games. This just isn't based on today, either. yeah it is. Its totally based off today. theres no way you thoought that when he was cruising most of the year. ALtough you might be right. Not so much to trade him, but to be prepared for when he falls.

what are the odds the Sox score three runs against relief pitching.

Think we can trade Uribe for Hanley Rameriz?

I cant wait til Uribe is gone. He has a good arm at SS. Does everything else wrong.

I only wish Fields would cut back on the k's. Just a little.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 20, 2007 -> 03:32 PM) So you have no concerns about a guy who's lost about 4 mph off of his fastball within 2 years? Let's see how much his ERA rockets during the 2nd half this year. he was throwing the same last year. Hes been solid this year throwing that hard. I mean, what are you gonna do? Put someone else in there. Its not an issue, we have more crap to worry about.

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Jun 20, 2007 -> 03:28 PM) Why? Its what the White Sox GM used to measure the greatness of his bullpen coming into the season. Everyones worried about his "velocity". Maybe he just dosent throw that hard. He still has been a good closer throwing 93-95 mph.

I think a fire sale might actually make this team better this year.

QUOTE(fathom @ Jun 20, 2007 -> 03:24 PM) It would be swell if we just fired every coach in our system....the sooner the better. Jenks lack of velocity this far into the season is very disturbing. this team has played bad, but the Jenks "velocity" thing is just dumb. Its been dumb for years.

the trading cant be to far away.

The Sox not signing Mark will cost them in wins and butts in the seats. If they trade him they better hope the players they get, turn out to be real good.

PHillies 5 Sox -3

QUOTE(hitlesswonder @ Jun 11, 2007 -> 11:21 AM) Wow -- 2 OK games and now he's on his way. I don't think there's any sign of a corner being turned yet, although it would be a career first if Floyd managed to master the opposition in AAA. If he does end up pitching as well in AAA as Felix Diaz did for an extended time then he may merit a call up. I still wouldn't put money on him getting big league hitters out. Also, does everyone really think he has "good stuff". I only saw him in spring training, but it wasn't obvious to me that he had exceptional anything (admittedly, I know nothing about pitching)..... I wouldnt call them "ok" starts. 2 ER in his last 15 innings. Thats pretty good. Is he on his way I dont know, but his last two starts we're far from just "ok".

QUOTE(Palehosefan @ Jun 8, 2007 -> 12:07 PM) Seems like we are trying to build a basketball team with our pitching selections so far. yeah we got some power forward for sure. Maybe we're drafting for the Bulls.

I will cheer him until he starts hitting bombs. Thats when the cheers stop.

Carlos Lee back. Lets hope he doesnt see some of our new players, like Buttvich or Prinz.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 04:52 PM) I've watched his video on mlb.com. From what I saw, it reminded me of Sisco. Little movement and no secondary stuff to back it up. His delivery is very similar as well. Sisco - sidearmer - 93mph without movement and lack of control. slider with no control Poreda - 95 mph with good movement and sink. Secondary pitches change up and slider. throws all with great control. so there both big white guys. thats about it.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 04:49 PM) He reminds me of ANdrew Sisco, but thats just me. That comparison makes no sense.

looks like god didnt have Schillings back on that one!!! haha

Boston is really good this year. dam red sox

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 04:38 PM) i hope he blows it. whay didnt we draft him!!!

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 04:33 PM) Of course it sucks, but look at what is going on with this team right now, what can you expect? So there not playing good. What are you going to do. Its just sports, its entertainment. I mean we all want them to be playing better. It just seems some people are never happy, even when the team is playing good.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 04:30 PM) Yes, pull out the bad fan card and that you are the superior Sox fan. That will be f***ing hilarious. I never said that. But the negative, the Sox suck, the manger sucks, the gm sucks none stop daily vibe around here is bulls***.

QUOTE(BearSox @ Jun 7, 2007 -> 04:26 PM) Why would I not watch team? I am a diehard sox fan. Is it really that bad for a fan to get pissed off about passing up the 2nd best pitcher in the draft? I guess over half the people here aren't true fans then. Im starting to think that.
