MarlinFan84 Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Why does your team continuously bring in old pitchers, sometimes at high cost, and let McCarthy, a stud youngin never get a chance? It doesnt make sense to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarlinFan84 Posted August 6, 2006 Author Share Posted August 6, 2006 BTW I wasn't dogging any of your starters or their talents, just saying there is sometimes no use bringing them in while McCarthy doesn't get a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 I think, at least at the beginning of the season, the best argument was that he is young, he has a stressful delivery, and his body is still growing/adding weight. You try to throw him for a lot of high-stress, starting innings early in his career, and he's probably more likely than Verlander to turn into Mark Prior. But yeah, his spot in the rotation next year should be unquestionned. And in 2-3 years, he'll have the top spot in that rotation.

You want to make fast friends here? Start dogging Freddy Garcia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarlinFan84 Posted August 6, 2006 Author Share Posted August 6, 2006 I was hoping we'd trade The AJ for him and Anderson last season. Sucks really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitesoxfan101 Posted August 6, 2006 Share Posted August 6, 2006 Well trading for Vasquez has lost us a lot of games in the middle innings during his starts, kept B-Mac out of the rotation, and kept Pods in LF rather than Chris Young and his stud future getting a shot. So in a sense, that trade has worked out great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesnt make sense to me. This is the question I've been trying to find the answer to since the Vazquez trade. The best answer I could find is that KW felt that BMac needed to bulk up this year, so he went out of his way to pick up another fifth starter. Hopefully he'll deal a starter next year to make room for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
