3E8 Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Jul 28, 2005 -> 01:52 PM) Worst of all, he's a one pitch pitcher. His fastball is straight as an arrow, so he doesn't throw it. Instead, he throws his slider every single time. And eventually, he hangs one, and it gets hit -- hard. Herein lies the problem. He's actually a four pitch pitcher posing as a one pitch pitcher. Fastball, slider, sinker, changeup. Hasn't thrown the changeup since Spring Training and features the sinker very rarely. Either he has some major issues to work out or he's just plain stupid.

Soxbadger Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Imo this is good news. Maybe Shingo never pitches for the Sox again, but if he can harness his control, maybe he will. The reality is you can never have to many veteran pitchers around, because you never know what will happen. SB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greasywheels121 Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 Glad to see Shingo is still with us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 28, 2005 -> 02:04 PM) Aww, you should have said t-shirt then. I was about to scream lol. I'm glad he is staying. If he can get his s*** straight in AAA, it would only mean good things for the Sox. He did say "jersey shirt" that does imply that it wasn't a real jersey but infact a shirt with jersey attributes.

professionalfan Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 What do you think his role will be in Charlotte? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 QUOTE(professionalfan @ Jul 28, 2005 -> 03:27 PM) What do you think his role will be in Charlotte? Middle Relief. Baj is a stud AAA closer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulokis Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 QUOTE(Kalapse @ Jul 28, 2005 -> 02:27 PM) Middle Relief. Baj is a stud AAA closer. Maybe a set up guy for Baj. But good to see him back with the Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Sox Josh Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Jul 28, 2005 -> 03:40 PM) Reliever probably either closer or setup. Just put him in a pressure situation. Let's see what he can do in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's see what he can do in it. Shingo will not be the closer down there. Baj has an ERA hovering around 1 he'll keep his job. Shingo will be plugged in as a middle reliever.

YASNY Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 The prospects should get the defined roles. Shingo can pitch whenever. There's no need in trying to 'develop' Shingo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
