I guess I really only remember the bad outings... I do remember one time he mowed them down though. He was dominate that game, breaking tons of bats.

lostfan Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 He's been up and down against Texas the farther I go back in his stats, but now that I think about it, that is pretty much how he pitches anyway, with the exception of 2005. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RME JICO Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I can imagine that his entire season will be like this. Either he is on and inducing GBs or not and getting hammered - no in between. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as much as I like Cabrera in the #2 slot and Uribe at 2nd, I'd rather have Jon occupy then #3 spot than Danks or Contreras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lostfan Posted April 9, 2008 Share Posted April 9, 2008 If Contreras really blows that bad I don't think the org. will keep him in the rotation for that long, and they'd put him in long relief and call up Broadway or Egbert. I was thinking about making a thread about this but I'd rather do it once he has a good few starts to gauge him by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 5 runs on 10 hits so far through 5 innings. Garrett Anderson didn't help with a dropped fly that was ruled a hit, but should of been caught. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swingandalongonetoleft Posted April 13, 2008 Share Posted April 13, 2008 Contreras gave the team a quality start Friday night, you can thank our bats for the end result. I'm getting word that his agent sends soxtalk.com posters Jose's deepest regrets that he didn't throw a complete game one hit gem w/16 K's+ buy a full tank of gas for everyone in attendance on Friday.

I wouldn't say without a problem, seeing as how it would cost him right around $2 million, if I've done some basic figuring correctly (assuming an average gas tank size of 25 gallons, $3.20 gas, and 26,094 in paid attendance). Of course that's also assuming everyone's running on empty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostfan Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 (edited) Average gas tank size of 25 gallons? Geez do you drive an M1 Abrams dude? My gas tank is 16 gallons and that's on the larger end of non-SUVs. It's still gonna probably be in 7 figures though if you give a liberal estimate.

I doubt that's entirely accurate. Nobody wanted him at whatever the asking price for him was. Considering that he still gave us 200 innings last year, and we made a deal to move Garland early in the offseason, it wouldn't have made much sense to move him for anything less than a solid package, which no team would have offered given his contract. If Danks and Floyd keep this up, and either Broadway or Egbert have solid years at AAA or we move someone for another starting pitcher at some point along the line, then the Sox might be more open to dealing Jose at a lower price solely to move the salary. It's also possible Jose could have a significantly better season this year than last year's debacle, and that will improve things as well. That 5.57 ERA he sported last year wouldn't look good to anyone, but if he could put up something around the 4.27 he put up in 2006 or the 4.34 he's sporting right now, in the Cell, for 200 innings then suddenly he goes from looking like a guy who can lose 20 games for you to a guy who's got something left in the tank and is worth throwing out there as a #3 guy, particularly in the NL.

BearSox Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Contreras somehow having an ERA under 5 and us being able to unload him next offseason for something worth while would be a dream come true... however, I doubt Contreras keeps up his 4.3 ERA as he really doesn't have much left in the tank, if anything.
