fathom Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 For the Sox to make the postseason this year, Clayton Richard is going to have to become a dependable starter. There's no way the 4/5 guys will make it together in the rotation past May. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRaines Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Where were your threads when Colon had his first 2 good starts? Its April. We are 3 starts in. There are no better in house options right now even if the org decided to make a snap decision based on such a small sample size like you are.

Reddy Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 it's like you all expected them to be aces... high 4's era's are probably the best we'll get and what the hell's wrong with that? but to have a high 4's era you have to throw some bad games - get it?

Dick Allen Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Josh Fields and Jim Thome each struck out both their ABs so far tonight. As long as we are replacing players, maybe we should find some for them. I really believe if some soxtalkers were the White Sox GM, the team would probably employ about 150 players every season, and the payroll would be about $250 million.

Jordan4life_2007 Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Much, much more disgusted with the offense than I was with Colon. Colon has pitched well in 2/3 starts. I'll definitely take that ratio from him all year. Your offense simply can't get stymied by Adam f***in Eaton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no way the 4/5 guys will make it together in the rotation past May. I love CR, but he's way too valuable in the long-man role, right now. Especially, with either Colon or Contreras still being in the rotation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 (edited) It's ridiculous to think of Nix replacing I Can't Hit a Curveball Ramirez because Nix has almost no experience playing SS. In fact, Dayan Viciedo might have played more games there in his career than Nix. Alexei hit a hanger last night, so he's either going to have to lay off them or just see only curveballs in BP until he starts to learn to hit them. Why didn't the opposing teams do this all season long in 2008? Same thing with Soriano, I don't know why anyone throws him a fastball on the inside half of the plate. (Of course, part of the key is getting the ball over the plate and getting strike one, which has seemingly happened against Ramirez all season long). The other problem with Cowley's idea is that it's not like Nix would be guaranteed to put up huge offensive numbers with the Sox, far from it. You'd almost have to argue Lillibridge would give you more than Nix because of his defense and speed. The last thing we need is more pull happy hitters. On this current team, the only really "full field" hitters we have are Getz and sometimes AJ. Look at Quentin. He just tries to jack almost everything out of the park. Sometimes Konerko and Dye revert back to good hitting habits and take the ball up the middle and to RCF, but they're all part of the Greg Walker school of Lift and Pull. That's why players like Beckham and Allen will really help, because they're more athletic and they can hit the ball from line to line. As far as 4/5, it's going to have to be Richard or Poreda. Whichever team in the AL Central gets the best production from the back of their starting rotation will win the division, just like in 2001-2004 with the Sox. Colon, in all fairness, was good his first two starts, and the Rays' game looks bad for him only because Thornton gave up all three of his runners on base with the GS to Zobrist. Indians=Pavano, Reyes (solid yesterday), Laffey, Lewis, Sowers, Z. Jackson Royals=Bannister (pitched well 2 days ago against Tribe) Ponson and Hochevar Minnesota=Perkins is now their ace, so you have to say they are the best if Liriano/Baker turn it around Detroit=Ed. Jackson, Miner, Robertson, Willis Edited April 24, 2009 by caulfield12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostfan Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 What pissed me off about last night was that if Colon had been pitching for the Orioles against our lineup, the result would've been the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
