ptatc Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 QUOTE (qwerty @ Mar 31, 2009 -> 07:44 AM) I was truly trying to hold back, but you made me. The heaviest cy young winner in history... by a decent margain too.. Only the second fastest in major league baseball history to record 100 saves (187 games) to kaz sasaki (160 games). Lamar Hoyt was pretty big when he won the Cy Young for the Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was anywhere from 50 to 70 pounds lighter than sabathia. The big differential is due to their height difference, hoyt is 6'1 compared to sabathia who is 6'7.

TheChrisSamsa Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I'm reserving judgment on Colon and Jose (and subsequently the management's decision to go with them in the rotation), until atleast mid-may when they've got 4-5 starts each under their belts. For some reason, I've got a good feeling about them both putting up 13-15 wins this year. Nothing groundbreaking, but they'll keep us in games.

MattZakrowski Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 If Colon and Contreras both give us 13-15 wins, we'll win 110 games, and I'll eat my hat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kinda feel that when it comes to pitchers, that spring training is not a good measure of how they'll perform in the season. For all we know, Colon was probably not putting in much effort since it was only a spring training game and he was just working on some pitches and "putting some work in".

I saw Colon as a pitcher on Saturday and not just a hard thrower. He did a grat job and I hope he can continue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilMonkey Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Colon's biggest asset yesterday was that he didnt look like he was afraid to throw the ball over the plate. And when he was ahead in the count, the next pitches were at least close enough for the batter to consider swinging at, unlike some of the Sox other pitchers whoe 0-2 fastballs end up in the opposite batters box. Good job for game 1 Colon, now build on that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitesoxfan101 Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Over/under on how many pages this thread is by the time the regular season ends? It's got to be a high number, as this thread will be bumped after both every good start by Colon and every bad start, with only the meh type starts keeping this thread quiet.

MexSoxFan#1 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 It's gonna be quite a few since most fans don't take a long view on players' performances,it's mostly a "what have you done for me lately" attitude... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
