maggsmaggs Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Granted he may not be better than Boone, but he is a veteran with post-season experience. He almost signed with the Sox a couple years ago before going to the Cubs and has pitched solidly every year except this year recently. I am not saying he is a great option, but with Boone sucking at every single moment now, he has to be considered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChWRoCk2 Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I would give him a shot, we don't have another reliable option in triple A except for maybe Russell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not saying he is a great option, but with Boone sucking at every single moment now, he has to be considered. He already played here once, and wasn't very good. Plus he had some not-nice things to say about the franchise IIRC. I'd probably pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatScott82 Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Would much rather give Poreda his first look at the bigs rather than give Eyre a chance to get knocked around again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although Howry was pretty good for awhile here. Erye wasn't very good at all. That was before the ADHD meds though. Of course, the meds are stimulants. What helps him more the increased concentration or the legal stimulant? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howry just told it like it is. He didn't say anything that was not true about the Sox or Sox fans. Sox fans just took it that way. Eyre IIRC was talking major stuff about our organization though.

He's got talent he just needs to spend a little time down at Charlotte to recoup for coop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 I wouldn't mind sending him to Charlotte. Wouldn't be a horrible option in September. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beck72 Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Eyre had made some wise cracks about the sox when he signed with the Cubs. Really dogged them, along the lines of playing on the better side of town and would have little room to backtrack. Sounds like some personal issues when he was here. Don't see a fit.

DBAHO Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Yeah unfortunately he's burnt some bridges so he won't be coming here, because he was a very good lefty back when he was with the Giants, and I wouldn't have minded of giving him a shot.

harfman77 Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Maybe Royce Ring instead? He was DFA'd by the Braves if we want a former Sox LHP back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Or maybe just stick Clayton Richard in the pen. He can put up as s***ty numbers as Eyre and some of the other guys mentioned but at least he has upside and a nice looking arm (plus he has flashed the ability to get big leaguers out in his short stint, although he has also wet the bed). Still, there is something to be said about bringing a lefty out of the pen who can hit 94, throws strikes, and gets a lot of ground balls.

The sox should move Richard to the bullpen in Charlotte and have him throw innings there instead of the rotation. Esp as that's the role he'd have if he came in Sept.
