Wise Master Buehrle Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Koch, he's only faced two batters this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danman31 Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Koch proved to me in ST that he is going to be crap this year. In 2 outtings he got hit hard, luckily for him only one of them that resulted in runs. Shingo is the only guy who hasn't blown up yet. Let's see what he can do. It's still too early to judge. Ozzie should let Koch keep the job if he has confidence in him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aboz56 Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 I say depending on what Schoenweis does, throw Cotts into the rotation and let Danny Wright be the closer. He's got the stuff to take the job and I think it would be a role he'd thrive in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Koch should be the closer. Were not paying him all this money for nothing we know. I would feel comfortable if Politte was the closer but that's IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got the stuff to take the job and I think it would be a role he'd thrive in. He does seem to have a good mindset for a closer. His stuff is good, I'm not yet convinced he has spectacular stuff. Either way, I think he'd do well. The bigger issue in my mind is if Cotts can take that 5th spot though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Koch was told he would be the closer and he should be given every opportunity to do so. Ozzie made a gamble, a decision, played a hunch, whatever it was it didn't work and I think Koch should have started the 9th to close out the victory.

CWSHarris1 Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 go ahead and laugh i picked marte cause hes a whole lot better than this.Marte has been a good closer sumwhat last season to my vision. koch is good but bad most of the time. I could be wrong this season though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong this season though. The problem with that is we then we have to depend on Cotts to be the lefty out of the pen. I vote Koch. Let him have it. If not Koch, Politte should get it.

greg775 Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 I don't like it, but Koch should be the closer cause he's our closer on paper. It's KW who assembled the team and Koch is the closer Ozzie's been dealt. So sink or swim, it's Koch. If I had my choice it'd be Marte though (I can't believe I'm saying that after yesterday).

SnB Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 I picked damaso, yes he had a terrible day yesterday, but he's still our best reliever, and he's going to prove it to us AGAIN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzie should let Koch keep the job if he has confidence in him. That maybe one of the funniest things I've read in a while... You are saying that Koch sucked in ST, but Shinjo "didnt blow up" ? WTF, we were watching 2 different White SOx Spring Training squads I guess. Until the end of ST, Koch had looked damn good, and was spotting his pitches. Shinjo, well at no point did he really look like the "demi-God" that people overseas claim him to be. Koch is the closer. Ozzie f***ed up yesterday. Next?

YASNY Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 I voted other. The only problem is that Eck, Gossage, Fingers, Wilhelm, Sutter are all retired and Billy Wagner's in Philly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerhead johnson Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 Danny Wright has the stuff to take the job and I think it would be a role he'd thrive in. That's exactly right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan4life_2007 Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 It should be Koch until he proves he can't get the job done. The guy is makin 6 million bucks. Gotta see if he can do it or not... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Critic Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 I say depending on what Schoenweis does, throw Cotts into the rotation and let Danny Wright be the closer. He's got the stuff to take the job and I think it would be a role he'd thrive in. Maybe Danny can close in the future, but not now. Wright had a really good spring starting, and the rotation is a trouble spot this year. Koch should be given a chance to close out a few games before Ozzie blows him up and starts over. Especially based on his first outing - he didn't show me anything to make me believe that he can't do it this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
