Steve9347 Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 On a team loaded with starters, who's our ace? My pick is Contreras, though that could change if Javy can rock and roll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 adding up the rest over the winter, with the impending free agency, and the new workout program that has been talked about, I am going to go with Mark Buehrle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love that. If he can go back to his 3.50ish era ways, this team is going to look very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve9347 Posted February 8, 2007 Author Share Posted February 8, 2007 Currently the voting sits at 3,2,3,3, with Vasquez the guy at 2... now that's balance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo's Drinker Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Its going to be Garland, he gets better every year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RME JICO Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 I would have voted for Vazquez but there was only an option for Vasquez. Vazquez will have a huge year. His late season numbers and performances bode well for 2007. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LVSoxFan Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 I want it to be Buehrle (and erase last year). I chose the dark horse and picked Vasquez. Hell, if he is our ace we are in damn good shape. That guy always seems to be this/close to being awesome, and then the fifth comes along.

Kalapse Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 QUOTE(Jimbo @ Feb 8, 2007 -> 09:38 AM) Its going to be Garland, he gets better every year. Not really, he's been consistently average since the 2002 season with the exception of '05 which was above his career norms. The obvious answer is Jose Contreras since he has probably the second best stuff of any starter on the team and has had a season as the team's ace already. I gotta go with Vazquez though, all signs point to a break out year from him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No intelligence on my part, just a gut feel, I'm thinking 18-20 wins for Buerhle. Rock solid all season. I also like Garland to continue to take steps towards the upper echelon of starters.

Balta1701 Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Based on the performance of everyone in that rotation last year, I'm going with Haeger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoSox05 Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 (edited) i think this year its gonna be Vasquez. With 20 wins and an era of 3.21 Edited February 8, 2007 by GoSox05 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soxfan3530 Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 (edited) i'd go with jon. His numbers last year were inflated by a horrible start to the season, but after that he rebounded nicely. Expect '05 numbers from freaklishy tall bean-pole (and no, not b-mac) Edited February 8, 2007 by soxfan3530 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamTell Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 I'm hoping MB is once again. And he possibly could be, but for upcoming free agency to make the big bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr_genius Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 I like the optimism on Javier Vasquez for 2007. he definately has the stuff to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T R U Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Garland per usual Buehrle is toast, hopefully he pitches decent enough this year and then leaves at the end of the year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunkBomber Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 I went with Garland because he seems to improve each year. I think MB is gonna have a very solid year though. If he repeats last year hes really gonna hurt his contract status. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiTown Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 (edited) Garland seems to have been the most consistent of the bunch. I therefore think hes our ace but year after year Buehrle has been chosen for this role and I dont see that changing.
