Kalapse Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 None. We'll go into the year with 1 lefty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSH2005 Posted January 30, 2006 Author Share Posted January 30, 2006 None. We'll go into the year with 1 lefty. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Not with Ozzie as our manager. He loves playing the lefty-lefty game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan4life_2007 Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 QUOTE(rangercal @ Jan 29, 2006 -> 11:15 PM) I think Ozzies comments about munoz might wake him up. I was thinking the same thing. I'll take Munoz. God I can't wait until spring training. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodAsGould Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 Im hoping Munoz can be the guy.... but if none of them impress I have no problem sticking lets say Baj in the last spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamTell Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 I'll take Corwin Malone since I like the name. But I'll probably CorLose this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBAHO Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 At this stage, I'd probably say Munoz. But I wouldn't still rule out a trade. A team like Seattle who had 4 lefties in the majors in 2005, could be a possible trading partner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texsox Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 This one will be a battle. It's the number two lefty, not critical, but every spot is important. I'm guessing Ozzie goes with his gut and doesn't pick Munoz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggsmaggs Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 I would hope Munoz would win. Lefties don't touch him and he can work in that role and graudally take on more responsibilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulokis Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 Lopez with his submarine delivery can be a Kelly Wunsch for us. But I like having a home grown talent fill that up. Munoz has the edge but I like Malone and doesnt Reynoso throw his fastball about low 90's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 Well after seeing Ozzie comments about Munoz, I would kiss him good-bye. I have got to imagine that it is between the two new guys, or they wouldn't have brought them in the first place if they though an inhouse guy could handle it.

nitetrain8601 Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 Who is this Javier Lopez guy? I've never heard of him. Anyway, I don't like Munoz much(but I say he's the guy who wins). I hope Reynoso, Malone or Lopez win, though I know jack about Lopez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWSGuy406 Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 It's silly to think that again, because of the "need" to have a second lefty, that Jeff Baj might miss out on starting out the season in the White Sox's bullpen. Of course, after this weekend hearing Kenny pretty much guarantee that another lefty will make the bullpen, it's certainly believable. Right now, the bullpen shakes out with Cotts, Jenks, Politte, McCarthy, and Hermanson. I'd rather they go with only 11 pitchers, as most time, that 12th (and even 11th, sometimes) is a waste. Really -- how much more confidence would one of us have putting in a guy like Chad Bentz, Arnie Munoz, or Javy Lopez, rather than Baj or Sean Tracey? I'm hoping the 11th bullpen spot goes to one of the last two guys, Bajenaru or Tracey. It seems like the organization is moving towards putting Tracey in the bullpen, as Chisoxfn (among others) has been saying/predicting for a while. Taking only 11 pitchers also allows for another spot on the bench. Ideally, I'd say, Joe Borchard and Ross Gload. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have got to imagine that it is between the two new guys, or they wouldn't have brought them in the first place if they though an inhouse guy could handle it. I am not so sure about that. It seems that all of Ozzie's pointed comments are done with more of a purpose than we realize (such as comments about Anderson's defense a couple months ago). I saw what he said about Munoz' heart and I interpreted it as Munoz being the guy Guillen wants to step up and win the job outright. The time to worry about a player is when Guillen starts to rave about him. That is usually followed up with a trade out of town. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzie was 'motivating' with that comment. We'll see if Arnie can step up and meet the challenge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aboz56 Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 None of these guys. Munoz got torn a new one at Soxfest by Ozzie. I was actually standing right behind the guy who asked the question. You could see a minor trade in ST to pick up a veteran lefty or you may just see Cotts as the lone lefty. If I had to pick from these guys, I'd go with Reynoso if he could ever learn to command his pitches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I like Baj as far as being a good guy and from what he does around here, I think he could have a tough time making the team. Every time he's been seen in the majors, he's pretty much gotten lit up. His ceiling to me is the 24th or 25th guy on the roster. As far as your comment on Tracey, he seems to walk too many guys to start the season in the majors. Jason has man love for him of course, so I'll take his word on the fact that the guy has talent. If he can cut down his walks, I think he can be helpful. My guess is he starts the season in Charlotte. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
