caulfield12 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 (edited) Poreda would be better served refining his offspeed stuff in the minors. No news there. He has almost the same exact approach and look as Thornton without quite the same velocity, just a tick slower. The Sox would be better off with the much different look/repertoire of Richard as the 2nd lefty at this point. Reyes looks like he might have a rebound year this season with the Indians.

Kalapse Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 1 more time. According to Melton the Sox improved their holding over runners last year. Teams stole about 30% more bases against the Sox last year and for a higher percentage than 2007. 19% CS for Sox catchers in 2007 went down to 17.8% last year. Sorry Bill, wrong again.

scenario Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 (edited) QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 9, 2009 -> 04:33 PM) He has more sink, but he def needs some time in the minors. He only has one pitch. He's actually got two now. Fastball and slider. Needs a changeup to work his way out of the pen at the major league level. I'd send him to Charlotte... and keep him as a starter there to get enough innings to work on it. Edited March 9, 2009 by scenario Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 (edited) Melton was right about one thing. We couldnt't beat Sabathia. And the fact that he can now pronounce Viciedo's first name. That's marked improvement there. It's official KW. We have no CFer. Just in case you hadn't noticed. Take that back...Wise 2/4 with a homer and extra base hit in the B game against the Dodgers in the morning. He's officially the first option right now in Guillen's mind at least. Bad jump by Owens but he finally gets there. Some of his sliders have been flat...the one to the third hitter was much more effective. Not quite as good as Marte's slurve from the side when he could locate it, but it could be at least serviceable. Still don't think he's close to starting at the big league level yet, though.
