SoxnGiants Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 If Soriano means no McCarthy starting next year (as in we go with the same rotation as this year)... no thanks. We need Brandon in this rotation - he's most definately an upgrade over at least one of these guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 QUOTE(kwolf68 @ Aug 24, 2006 -> 12:51 AM) Because he can't pitch. They just said it...Detroit has a mediocre scoring offense, but have by far the best record in baseball because of their pitching. Its all about pitching. Soriano would have definitely added a few wins to this team's record since the deadline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was starving and had a slice at Comerica last night. It was the worst piece of pizza I have ever had. That guy should be in jail for stealing, getting rich selling that crap. real little ceasars is good. pizza is never good at the park. gotta go with the kosher dogs, funnel cakes and corn off the cob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conjecture. He isn't facing Santana and Verlander over in the NL and it would have cost us major prospects and we'd have probably lost him at the end of the season anyhow. All that and there is NO WAY you can gurantee anything because our pitching stinks. I didn't want a friggin left fielder when our Starting pitching staff all have eras over 4 or 5. If we had great pitching, but just needed some more punch then sure...go for the guy, but he would have done nothing but deplete resources and instead of losing 7-4, we'd just lose 7-6. It would have been a totally assinine trade and IM glad Kenny didnt make it (McCarthy and Fields/Sweeney + ANOTHER prospect?....yea give me some of that whacky weed).

SoxnGiants Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 wow, I never expected this after the first inning. Hats off to Freddy for these past 4 innings. Hopefully he can give us 2 more, heck, even 1 more would be great with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good thing he has a 91 mph fastball, and not his 88 mph fastball. That extra velocity allows him to get in on the hands of someone like Monroe.

WHarris1 Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Would it be to much to ask to pull Freddy now? Give the actual solid part of our pitching chance a staff to close this one out? Our pen has been so solid, I'd let them have this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't here when the trade deadline stuff was going on, but I was totally against the trade, at least in the incarnation that Washington wanted it. Baseball is my love and I'll argue it, but my opinion isn't necessarily right....just opinion. It's fun. There is no harm in our discussions as we are all on the same team here.

I don't know how old you are, but if you're 19-25, you really need to go there at least once. They've got great bars, strip clubs and a nice casino.
