greg775 Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 I decided to make this a thread since there are so few new threads. Consider this please ... The Sox middle relief or set up relief is pretty hopeless obviously. In an attempt to improve one part of our team for the rest of the season, how about moving Vaz or Mark B or even Contreras to a relief role the rest of this season only. And let the knuckleballer start. I mean if the Sox hope to make any run at all, the Sox need somebody who can get somebody out in a set up role. Since KW can't make a trade to save his life, I wonder if you like this suggestion. Repeat, this is for the rest of this year only. This improves the bullpen and the Sox can then fire Walker which should fire up the offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Oh good heavens....how about we just use Haeger as a reliever, and Ozzie lets our righty/lefty specialists only face the side they do well against. His use of Logan lately has been disappointing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Moving Javy or Mark into a middle relief role for the stretch run is probably the most ridiculous thing I've read on here this season. QUOTE(fathom @ Jul 13, 2007 -> 10:07 PM) His use of Logan lately has been disappointing. He still has no clue what LOOGY stands for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greg775 Posted July 14, 2007 Author Share Posted July 14, 2007 (edited) For some reason, I envision the knuckleballer as a reliever yet another disaster. I'm just saying the relief situation is not fixable until the offseason apparently so why not shift a starter to the set up role and either let Charlie or Floyd give starting a try? I repeat it's for the rest of this season only. Or trade Pods or Mack for a middle reliever somewhere. I guess reality suggests we'll find out soon if Haeger can do the job in relief.

This season is already shot in the ass. Why mess with your starters and their routine? Do you want to have guys who are getting paid $10+ million injured? When is the last time either of them pitched relief? (I am not counting Mark's save either ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
