caulfield12 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Swarzak and Kahnle would quality as "nearly amazing" for the Sox, just like Fat Albers the first couple of months before the wheels fell off...think it was that game he pinch ran against the Mets.

In terms of short term relievers that pitched for us, Anthony Swarzak deserves nothing but love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also did not command any more than Cordell, with no track record to speak of. I'm actually more incensed at calling Swarzak bad for us. If this is pretty bad, god help any reliever we have that isn't Mariano Rivera.

It's not really irrelevant when you're discussing his trade last year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're literally the only person b****ing about the Swarzak-Cordell trade, but mad we didn't get enough value for a pitcher that you said was bad? What is your argument?

caulfield12 Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Getting closer and closer to having 6 guys with 20 homers...the only problem with that is only Anderson and Moncada are part of the future, with the POSSIBILITY that Palka/Davidson can be a workable platoon split at DH I guess.

Jose Abreu Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 3 hours ago, caulfield12 said: Rondon needs to get the starting opportunity at 3B next year over Yolmer. Yolmer can be the supersub, his most suitable role...and Leury for OF/defense/PR, if you duct tape him up and he can still stand. Yup. There's some serious power potential in Rondon's bat. He really, really needs a full season of MLB at bats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Abreu Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Also, this was one of those 10 or so games this year that Tim Anderson won pretty much on his own with his defense and timely hitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
