Chi Town Sox Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 they took him out after 5? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 I'm guessing his pitch count was up there. 9k's too, pretty sick. Vazquez threw a scoreless six so the no no is intact. And the Cubs Rich Hill gave up a bomb to Corey Hart to end his bid at a perfect game in the 6th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vazquez threw a scoreless six so the no no is intact. Eek -- Vasquez just bombed in that second inning. He's given up a couple of runs... Oneli is in now. Kudus to Gio. You think he's on a (relative) fast-track this year? I'd imagine he should be at Charlotte by (or right around) the All-Star break...

Phillips is just filler, although some project him as a better Josh Stewart. KW likes Gio and Russell the most, and I think the competition in AA is sometimes actually a better test of a pitcher than AAA...KW won't be afraid to jump a pitcher from that level directly to the bigs, if it's warranted. You don't imagine Haeger, Broadway, Floyd or Phillips are going anywhere, but there is a spot in Charlotte as the fifth starter IMO. KW's not in any rush, and sometimes it's better for a pitcher to get his confidence in the much bigger Barons stadium instead of pitching in Charlotte.

BearSox Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 I think of Phillips, Haeger, Broadway, and Floyd, the only two that are probably safe to still be in the White Sox organization by the end of the season are Broadway and Floyd, IMO. I think both Phillips and Haeger will be used as trade bait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think both Phillips and Haeger will be used as trade bait. Phillips is out of options, and at least put up quality numbers last year. He should be moved for something @ trade deadline time, or at the very worst moved over the winter. I hate just losing people as FA like we did with Tracey because we don't have room.

We could have used Castro last year, but I sincerely doubt he would have been ahead of Sisco in the minds of KW and the organization, because he's not a hard thrower...and at least we know that other organizations have found some quality arms from our organization. Usually, the pitchers we deal turn out like Bajenaru or Joe Valentine. Every now and then, there's a Bradford, Francisco, Majewski, Fogg...even Rauch has done fairly well as a reliever.

The club is trying to move him, but there just aren't many takers at this point and imo, if you don't get any value you might as well hold him as a potential throw in in a trade deadline deal (if the club is buyers).

That rule only applies if you're at the park or near the pitcher, or broadcasting the game. At any rate, there was no way they were going to let him go 9 innings the first week of the season. Only Dusty Baker would contemplate something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once again, I'm used to the "teal police" at WSI and it's going to take a few months before it all sinks in, lol. Seriously, over there, there are so many teal/green comments that it becomes a game, because lots of posters, when something is VERY obvious (to them), will leave out teal or green...so you can never really tell when anyone is being serious, unless you know the posters and their styles really well.

DBAHO Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Very positive start by Gio. He'll LOVVVVVE pitching in the nice wide confines down at B-Ham compared to where he was last season. He certainly won't be giving up as many HR's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if the White Sox would be better off having AA and AAA stadiums more like USCF in terms of how they play and the weather conditions. That would give KW a better idea about "projectability" of pitchers like McCarthy. Charlotte is a pretty small stadium, some call it a bandbox. So I guess that's good.

I think he'll probably make it at some point, but he's just not a great option. The problem with the reliever idea is he doesn't have a great arm, and he's behind Logan, Day, probably Malone and Reynoso (due to experience)...plus you have Sisco and Thornton. He just doesn't fit in this organization, not unlike Tracey. We can sell him to a Japanese team or add him in a second/third tier prospect in a bigger trade.
