How many closers are perfect? He had a horrible ball called in that match-up...the calls goes the other way and he's out of the game with a save.

 

By your logic, we don't have any pitchers in our bullpen after Jenks capable of closing.

MacDougal has never had success as a closer? How do you know Thames wouldn't done anything on an 0-2 pitch?

As long as Ozzie/KW is in charge, Erstad will be out on that field.

 

 

At least Erstad made a mistake physically, because he was hustling and trying to prevent a triple play.

 

Much better than walking in there and ducking down like Carlos Lee. Seriously.

 

And why has nobody criticized Contreras? He had a chance to get himself and the team out of there with a 2-0 deficit, not a 4-0 deficit. He's just not getting the big outs that he used to get, when he absolutely needed them.

I'll take my chances with C. Lee's lack of hustle but offensive talent, thank you. :P

Contreras is just a pile of ass right now.

 

I'm sure his performance after the contract has JR YEARNING to go out and spend on big name pitchers!

 

I hope we don't look back at the 2005 offseason in 5 years and think it caused the downfall of the organization.

And every Royals' fan thinks that getting anything in return for MacDougal is a good deal because 1) his control, 2) his injury history.

 

He's not a reliable closer over an entire season. He's never put together two good halves in a single season.

Some great forkballs for Jose there. He's meat if he doesn't have that pitch, but when it's there, he's fine.

 

Even when Contreras was going well, I hated that slider pitch of his. His slider makes me nervous just as Garland's changeup does.

And we'd be in the process of selling off Carlos or paying him $16-17 million per season to be a member of a fourth place team.

I just feel like Carlos receives so much criticism when he was one of the better offensive players in the last two decades for the Sox.
