southsideirish71 Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 I could care less how much Cuban Pride Contreras has. He doesnt have chick problems this year, either throw over the top or be an expensive mop up guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 11, 2008 -> 05:29 PM) It's funny how it seems this way. Willis getting injured was terrible luck for the Sox. When you look at anything over a stretch of 2 innings I bet you can think that. Even a loss in this game...we still manage to eat up Detroit's bullpen.

Even a loss in this game...we still manage to eat up Detroit's bullpen. Willis is a terrible pitcher, and the Tigers weren't going to pull him early no matter what happened (unless of injury). Our lineup was made to pound a lefty, instead they brought in a slider ball pitcher who's nasty on righties. With Verlander going tomorrow, I think eating up the bullpen is overrated.

BearSox Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 (edited) QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 11, 2008 -> 08:26 PM) Why is he stubborn? I think he just doesn't have the stuff he used to. His forkball used to be one of the best pitches in baseball....now he can't get Clete Thomas to chase it. It's not a matter of opinion, it's a fact... Contreras has nothing anymore. He has lost velocity, lost the bite on his fork ball, and throws nothing but junk. Add that to the fact he struggles throwing strikes, and any runner with any speed can steal off of him, you got a recipe for one long season for Contreras. The only problem is that no team will want him. Looks more and more like we'll have to eat that 20 million. Maybe if we're lucky we can get a prospect (not a good one most likely) for him in a trade if we eat a good majority of his contract.

fathom Posted April 12, 2008 Share Posted April 12, 2008 That was one of the weaker offensive innings you'll ever see. We just don't have the type of lineup that can do anything against this guy. I hope we can bring up Richar for Ramirez eventually, as it would be nice to have a lefty bat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
