fathom Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 QUOTE(quickman @ Mar 13, 2006 -> 08:50 PM) happens with 80% of knuckleballers. they have no idea where the ball is going. When I saw him pitch over the wknd, he seemed to have good command. He was throwing the knuckler right down the plate on a platter for the hitter.

jphat007 Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 QUOTE(fathom @ Mar 13, 2006 -> 02:50 PM) Do we typically have this many crappy pitchers on our roster going in the spring training games? yep. our ST ERA was terrible last year. DOesn't help that Freddy and Javier are gone either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quickman Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Ring Ring, kenny I told you if you want a pitcher I need sweeney. Quit calling me unless I get sweeney. i don't want some 30 year old Ross Gload career minor leaguer, I don't want your overpriced two sport piece of crap borchard who can't hit over 200. I want sweeney. call me back later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRaines Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 13, 2006 -> 02:49 PM) Haeger just doesn't seem to have any kind of command in the games he has pitched this spring. He's all over the place. His knuckler is nasty, but he is too inconsistent with it. Either its unhittable, or straight as an arrow. The only thing that will help him is some more time throwing it.

I think it's just as important for knucklers to be able to have excellent control on their fastball so they can grab a strike when they need it.

Lunch at the chinese place says I'm right. Here's a legit question I have for you: Does Gload have any trade value? He seems more to me like minor league guys who are a dime a dozen, and often switch teams in the offseason. If KW could get value for Gload, I'd be thoroughly impressed.

RockRaines Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Mar 13, 2006 -> 03:03 PM) How much value did you really think Baj had. Yes, I know he put up great numbers, but seeing his stuff( a small sample size of course) it really didnt seem like he is ready/will ever be a dependable major league pitcher. We got one of the best utility men in the game. It might not be the best example, but talent wise, IMO we won the deal by alot. Sometimes deals can be surprising. I still think we unload someone that people dont expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would not shock me if he passed thru waivers unclaimed but I think he'll be moved for a similar player, i.e. in a similar situation. Also remember on the surface Borchard is not Guillen's type of player for the role the White Sox have open. There will, IMO, be a fair amount of wheeling and dealing come the end of March.
