Want2Repeat Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 I don't see Royce Huffman challenging for a roster spot anytime soon. Could we not have brought Fields along for the trip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaTank Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Who the hell #70 on the Sox? I turned the game on and just caught #70 running and had no idea who it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 As much as I like a high OBP guy at the top of the order, I don't think Swisher's going to last long there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not if he gives us many more 0/5, 2k days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's 30 years old and he's spent the last couple years playing for the AAA affiliates of Houston and San Diego. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearSox Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 wasn't really impressed with Contreras today. He didn't have much, if anything, on the ball, and threw basically a lot of junk, IMO. At least he threw strikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But chances are he's going to have a high ERA and his oppenent batting average isn't as low as it used to be. The fewer number of walks he gives up the better he'll be.

He didn't have much, if anything, on the ball, and threw basically a lot of junk, IMO. At least he threw strikes. He scared the crap out of me today, much like he did in pretty much any game I've seen him pitch since 2004. Good games included. The forkball WAS working well today, and he located the fastball when he needed to, however. I'm much more worried about the offense. Dye, Crede, and Uribe looked absolutely lost at the plate, and Swisher looked pretty bad. Those 4 guys, who figure to be pretty big parts of our offense, were automatic outs today. I think our pitching is going to be decent, but we're not going to be able to score 1-3 runs like we did in 2005 and win. We'll need consistent offensive production.
