Rex Hudler Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 4th round draft pick this year... HS pitcher out of Texas who would have been considered a possible first rond pick if not for two terrible knees. He is pitching at Great Falls and has had some success, but a couple of really bad outings as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Fainter Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 Rex, why don't the Sox fix the knees? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Hudler Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 Rex, why don't the Sox fix the knees? I am not sure of all the details. Perhaps MSF can probably expand on this. My understanding is that it is more of a chronic problem that can't be fixed. MSF, where are you when I need you?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MnSoxFan Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 LDF is correct. It is degenerative condition. They are taking gamble he will be able to play thru it. Good gamble to take. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 LDF is correct. It is degenerative condition. They are taking gamble he will be able to play thru it. Good gamble to take. Not by the looks of the stat line posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDF Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 LDF is correct. It is degenerative condition. They are taking gamble he will be able to play thru it. Good gamble to take. just like britt burns of the 80's. i wonder with the new replacement knees and such, would new knees affect him. in addition i think they, the sox are hoping that it the knees may not get worst.

dasox24 Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 4th round draft pick this year... Actually he was a 5th round pick, Robert Valido was our 4th round pick. But, wtf.... 4th or 5th round, i guess it really doesnt matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 I am not sure of all the details. Perhaps MSF can probably expand on this. My understanding is that it is more of a chronic problem that can't be fixed. MSF, where are you when I need you?? Its a chronic problem and basically he was told a few years ago that he wouldn't be able to pitch. He has kept pitching and the Sox took a chance on him because of all the advances in modern medicine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Fainter Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 Why would we leave a kid like him in to take such a pounding? 9 hits, 2 walks, 10 runs, 1.2 innings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LDF Posted July 16, 2003 Share Posted July 16, 2003 Why would we leave a kid like him in to take such a pounding? 9 hits, 2 walks, 10 runs, 1.2 innings. good question Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps because their whole pitching staff has been getting pounded other than McCarthy and he is still only going 6 innings. One they probably needed some innings from him because the bullpen was worn out and/or two, they probably wanted to see what he was made of. Sometimes you gotta leave a guy out there and see how he reacts and handles himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
