knightni Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 (edited) Contreras has to prove that his last outing was an aberration instead of part of a trend. First start back from injury for Josh Johnson. I'd like to say something positive about that in the Sox's favor, but it seems like a lot of "first start" guys have really had the Sox's number this season. Ah well. Anyways...

I want Fields to do well, but I could care less for Contreras. Had it been Buehrle, Garland, or Danks, I would hope they all perform well, but maybe Count can pitch well and improve his trade value. Surely, someone would take a World Series champion starting pitcher, but where would Jose accept a trade to is the difficult part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He stated he didn't want to be where he wasn't wanted. I think if he does have a no trade, which I'm really not sure of, it would be of little hinderance. I still think he's a good pitcher. I wouldn't trade him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

29thandPoplar Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 Well the big news from the 2 hour Sox brain trust meeting this afternoon ... KW on the pregame basically says they (the players) want to see how they perform when Podsednik and Erstad get back, to see if the team can go on a run. Konerko was at the meeting, as was Guillen and Hahn and of course Williams. So it does not look like any trades will be made for now. My guess is they will evaluate where they are in two weeks, like July 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KW, you are the GM, you make the decisions. This is stupid. I don't know how Pods or Erstad will make the bullpen any better, or make Vazquez think like a winner. I also don't know how it will make the rest of the line-up any quicker or swing and miss less. KW will use that meeting to deflect some of the blame off himself. He needs to be fired.

So...Pods and Grindey are going to teach the idiots that are slumping how to hit and the suck ass bullpen we have how to suddenly pitch and not blow games?? Give me a break. Stop making excuses and start looking at plan B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like this last series, I want to see Fields, Dye, and Buehrle do well. Edited June 18, 2007 by fathom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is they will evaluate where they are in two weeks, like July 1st. Yea, we'd be right in the thick of it if we hadn't lost erstad's 2 homers and .310 obp. And if they perform back to their .500 level, that will get us exactly, uh, where? If they perform better than that it won't get us anywhere. What are the players supposed to say: please trade us because this season's hopeless? Edited June 18, 2007 by GreenSox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29thandPoplar Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 I think it is stupid as well. The only possible upside is certain players start doing better, it increases their value, and other teams get more desperate to add talent. I do not see either Cleveland or Detroit collapsing to a major degree, not to mention Minn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
