Jordan4life_2007 Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Apr 19, 2006 -> 11:15 PM) The Twins bad lineup is too much for them to overcome when Cleveland and the Sox are in this division, even if Gardenhire's deal with the devil seems eternal. Agreed. They have way too many easy outs in their everyday lineup. I know Rowand is gonna tell me I don't know what I'm talking about and that the Twins are great.

I think the Twins are the 2nd best team in this division but hopefully them and Cleveland decide to suck, it'd make life much easier for all of us.

And just like that, one of the best signings of the offseason, Eduardo Perez, homers to give Cleveland a 3-2 lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what that team needed, absolutely. They already have guys who feast off of lefties (Belliard, V. Mart, Michaels), and they added another masher vs LHP. Considering they had Jose Hernandez in that spot last season, it's a huge upgrade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an upgrade and a nice signing, but not even close to one of the best of the offseason IMO, that's a BIG stretch to say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering the money they gave to him, and the position that they were in, it's a great signing. It was a low-risk, extremely high-reward signing. Most guys that can produce like he can against LHP would have cost you 6-7 million per season if they were a full-time player. With the tough lefties that pitch in the AL Central, this was a tremendous pick-up for Cleveland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I'd also like to add that he's homered already against Buehrle, Santana, and Bedard....easily 3 of the best lefties in the AL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan4life_2007 Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Indians/O's tied at 3 now. Erik Bedard is a stud. I can now see why the Cubs tried to fleece the O's during the offseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyyle23 Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Nothing but barn-burners in Baltimore anymore. I remember Mussina, Jimmy Key, David Wells, Ben MacDonald, Armado Benitez, even Arthur Rhodes as a starter. They just dont have the pitching anymore.

Soxbadger Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 I believe the Sox moved back their time because of the Dan Ryan construction. Otherwise driving to the Cell would be a nightmare since its basically down to 50% capacity around there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jphat007 Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 Very poor three series stretch for Cleveland. Lost 2 out of 3 to a bad Seattle team, split the series with the Tigers after we swept them, and then lose a series to the O's. They can score, but I am nowhere near sold on their starters or bullpen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
