Flash Tizzle Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 27, 2007 -> 07:51 PM) Yes If several sub .220 players reemerge from the depths of hell, Hall returns at atleast 70% of his former offensive capabilities, and Eduardo Perez is signed, Thome's absence shouldn't destroy this team's offensive output.

winninguglyin83 Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 can't see that Eduardo Perez was picked up by anybody. that means he is probably available. But that he's been sitting around doing nothing for a month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsideirish71 Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 When did Contreras become El Duque. He just decided to go from guy who throws 95 and up with a nasty splitter to Mr. Sidearmer with 90mph. What is it too costly to get a medical diagnosis or an MRI.

fathom Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 Big double play!! Not sure how he's doing it with no forkball either, but that's a big momentum play possibly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I miss the guy who threw 95 and used to pound the zone with fastballs, then use his plus splitter to get people out. Mr. Forkballs everytime didnt do too much for me. And Mr. Sidearmer is on the Freddy Garcia velocity plan. QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Apr 27, 2007 -> 08:00 PM) Age caught up with Contreras. Next season may not be too pretty for him. This season certainly isn't looking too good. I dont buy the age. He started this dropping down crap, right after he tweaked his back last year. Either he is healthy and just worried about going up 3/4s again. Or he is still nursing a bad back, and is dropping down to relieve pressure on it. His velocity is more of an issue of him not dropping and driving behind the ball. When you throw side arm, its hard to get really behind it.

Heads22 Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 What may happen.... Thome to the DL, Anderson to AAA; Fields and Sweeney called up. That's just me throwin darts at the situation. We could DH Dye in that instance as well, with Sweeney in RF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 (edited) Cintron's swing has been way too long since the start of Spring Training. Greg Walker's job security went down a lot when Thome did. Edited April 28, 2007 by fathom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 QUOTE(Flash Tizzle @ Apr 27, 2007 -> 08:04 PM) Old people typically develop back problems. There's a 4 MPH difference between his peak and where he's throwing at now (97 versus 93), but it's very cold and it's April in Chicago. I expect him at 94-95 again, not sure if we'll ever see the peak Contreras of late 2005 and early 2006. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't believe Guillen will move Dye to DH considering his veteran status, or the fact this is his contract year and it'll undoubtedly hurt his value.

I don't see us calling up both, especially with how Josh has been struggling at Charlotte. Look for a deal with someone like Jeremy Burnitz, Bernie Williams, Hollandsworth, Michael Tucker, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
