GreatScott82 Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3262747 I would have liked our Sox to get him but its not the end of the world. If we need it KW will go get a guy at the ASB. Kind of like how he aqcuired Freddy in 2004. If Milwaukee struggles this year, look for Sheets to be on his radar come the trade deadline.

Whitewashed in '05 Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 It really doesn't matter. I don't think he'll be able to start more than 5-10 games to tell you the truth. We most likely won't be making the playoffs and if that's the case might as well see what Floyd has. We have other optioned if needed anyway.

We already have an over the hill pitcher more than capable of putting up an ERA near 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milkman delivers Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 QUOTE(Brian @ Feb 24, 2008 -> 06:16 PM) Ha. He has almost no chance of making that rotation. That's about the first thing I thought when I saw that. There are few teams out there where he'd have less of a chance at making the rotation. I don't think this was the best choice for Colon.

greg775 Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Colon may not have been the answer, but does anybody really think Danks and Floyd are going to do much this year? Garland has so much more experience than those 2 and he struggled at times for the Sox. I'd hate to be Kenny risking his future on Danks and Floyd as well as big question mark Contreras. Who would have thought our rotation would be so much of a question mark just a few years after our starting pitching led the Sox to the WS crown?

Who would have thought our rotation would be so much of a question mark just a few years after our starting pitching led the Sox to the WS crown? I agree that the Sox have big-time rotation issues with a very unreliable Contreras and 2 youngsters, but Bartolo Colon certainly is not an answer. He would have been another problem.

DBAHO Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Guess this only really leaves Kyle Lohse as a viable SP option out there. Sounded as if Bora$$ was going to wait until a team suffers an injury in a rotation or something. As for Colon, it came down to whether he was healthy or not. Kenny has put his faith in Contreras, Danks and Floyd. Our season depends on how those guys do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Feb 24, 2008 -> 02:18 PM) and Balta breathes a sigh of relief I was wondering why I felt a sudden surge of happiness when we went past San Quintin on Sunday. Now I know why. Floyd, Danks, Egbert, Broadway, don't let me down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Hmm; Bartolo Colon faced just one batter over the minimum in five scoreless innings Thursday for Triple-A Pawtucket. Colon hit 95 and 96 mph on the guy in the game against Indianapolis. Clay Buchholz's margin for error is getting smaller by the day. If Colon remains successful, the Red Sox will have to give him a look at the back of their rotation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Yeah, no velocity, right. Colon would look really good in a White Sox uniform about now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
