danman31 Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 QUOTE(sircaffey @ Jul 26, 2005 -> 10:36 AM) Right now? I would disagree. Adkins has been at the major league level. He's pitched here, and pitched relatively well. Last season 62 IP and a 4.65 ERA. If we need a SP for 2-3 starts with El Duque on the shelf, I would have more confidence in Adkins than BMac, personally. Adkins has been absolutely awful this year at Charlotte. I wouldn't want him pitching in the Sox rotation this year. Adkins is 4-8 with a 5.68 ERA and 1.57 WHIP in AAA. That's just bad. Another option might be (dun dun dun) Arnie Munoz. He's been up and down this year for Charlotte and his ERA is under 4. Ok I was kidding, he's god awful. We have nothing after BMac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adkins has pitched and has had a good amount of success in the majors, while BMac has struggled mightily. Adkins at worst, is no worse than BMac in terms of coming up and giving us a few starts. (0-1 8.14 ERA) Adkins 60 IP last season with the White Sox, 4.65 ERA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JimH Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 They just showed the Giants top scout, Ted Uehlander, sitting there in the front row of the Sox KC game. Harrelson mentioned he talked to him during the rain delay and specifically mentioned the Giants are a team rumored to be in discussions with the White Sox (duh). But it is a bit unusual for Harrelson to comment specifically on a rumor by naming a particular team. He also said Uehlander has been watching the Sox minor leaguers too.

Can you post that in the game thread. Someone asked me to give a description of what Hawk said and my description sucked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danman31 Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 I guess what I'm saying is that BMac has had 2 good starts with the big league club. It's not like he's been bad every time out. He's not insurance for a 5th starter, but if you guys are fine with a 5th starter being brutal some of the rest of the way if El Duque gets hurt then who cares? The way I see it is that if BMac is still around at least we can give him innings for the future. Since the 5th starter won't matter the rest of the way according to some of you then why not give him the innings anyway? I don't see the Burnett deal as improving this team enough for the value we'd be giving up. If it's Contreras and Marte we're overpaying. If it's BMac and Marte then Contreras loses value by heading to the pen and Burnett isn't a significant enough upgrade. With all that said, what I mean is I don't want the Burnett deal, but Schmidt is a significant improvement over Contreras and I'd do the deal.

DBAHO Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Adkins had an 4. something ERA as a RELIEVER last season, not a starter. He has proven in Charlotte he can't handle the role of starting. B-Mac has had 2 good outings in a row now for Charlotte, so he looks like he's turning it around. Oh and the Giants are only 6.5 games back of the Padres now who have lost 8 straight. I don't think they are going to deal Jason Schmidt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fantastic. f***ing Padres had to screw it up for all of us. The whole national league, besides St. Louis, is trash. The Tigers could win 90 games in the NL.

The whole national league, besides St. Louis, is trash. The Tigers could win 90 games in the NL. Especially with the way he's pitched lately, they've gained about 4 or 5 games since the AS break. They could easily win that division, but so could the Dodgers, Padres and D-Backs, hence why they're probably all buyers at the deadline.
