baggio202 Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 He has that circulatory problem as well. He hasn't been the same ever sense. I'd rather go with Cotts now. But Grilli is who I feel will win it. grilli is a wild card out there..ive never seen him pitch so i cant comment on him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 grilli is a wild card out there..ive never seen him pitch so i cant comment on him I've never seen the guy pitch eigher, but for some odd reason, I got a feeling that he'll win it. (just like what I had with Stewart) I think Coop is gonna straighten him out as far as pitching, and he'll get it together in time for the season... I can see the future you know.

knightni Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 Who should be the #5 is Schoenweis because the Sox should have picked up a #2 or #3 starter in free agency. Who will be the #5 starter on opening day? Most likely Danny Wright. Because he has more experience and has mostly recovered from his arm injuries that had him down for most of 2003. I would be shocked if anyone else beats him out, if they do.. I wouldn't mind though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 He has that circulatory problem as well. He hasn't been the same ever sense. I'd rather go with Cotts now. But Grilli is who I feel will win it. I think I heard he may not be able to pitch again, but he won't be in Chicago for 2004 definitely.

Texsox Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 For a 3rd place team any of the above will do. For a Championship team, any of these are a stretch unless they have breakout, career, rookie of the year, seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Rector Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 Whoever wins the competition in Spring Training for the 5th Starter spot should be the #5 starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Lopez Ghost (old) Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 For the record, we have an off day in KC and then the day before the home opener. Barring any rainouts, the first time we will need a fifth starter is April 18th against Tampa. The Sox will probably not decide on who the guy is until after the season starts, to see who is pitching well, or healthy, at that point. My guess is Ozzie will want to go with a veteran, but nobody will step up. Rauch finished strong last year, so I'll go with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoe22 Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 Cheat, I'm high on Grilli too. #3 seems high though. Thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Rector Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 Interesting that nobody has yet mentioned Francisco Campos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnB Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 It's gonna come down to whoever busts their ass more in ST. I've been hearing good things about Diaz, so I voted for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigred3535 Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 I'll tell you the guys who I don't want to be the fifth starter: Dan Wright and Robert Person Wright has been too inconsistent and I'm fed up with him. I think (and hope) he's blown his last chance at a rotation spot with the Sox. As for Person, while he was a good starter 3 or 4 years ago, he's 35 and probably won't be any more effective than the young guys (although I said that last year about Loaiza). Unless one of these guys drastically outperforms the competition I would hope the Sox give a young pitcher a shot since they always seem so scared about committing to young guys (look at the way they jerked Kip Wells and Garland in and out of the rotation in their first seasons). Anyway Grilli, Cotts, Rauch, Diaz, Pacheco, etc. would be fine with me as long as they earn it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
