Kalapse Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 12, 2009 -> 07:54 PM) I don't think the years he had in CLE will be forgotten, even if their dog f***ing fans choose to boo him now. Of course they won't be forgotten but the moment he retires from the game there will be no fanbase that truly appreciates him. I'm sure the Indians fans will embrace him when he comes back to have his number retired but the way they've treated him since he accepted Philly's lucrative free agent contract can't sit well with Jim.

I hear ya. I hope the Sox have an appreciation day for him when he calls it quits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Princess Dye Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 (edited) Lets convert Carrasco to a starter. I know it sounds crazy and hasty, but of our long relievers why just automatically default to Richard? He hasnt had the success as a major leaguer that Carrasco has over this season and last. Obviously Richard has upside but it'd be nice to see it for a longer stretch as a reliever first. Interestingly each has pitched 60 innings over the last two years, and although many more of those for Richard are starter innings, the results have a huge disparity. If we're trying to win now I dont know what Clayton gives us. Edited May 13, 2009 by Princess Dye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chisoxt Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 QUOTE (Friend of Nordhagen @ May 13, 2009 -> 12:19 AM) Good call. Lillibridge looks like Fred Savage. Lillibridge looks like Scott Fletcher (circa 1990) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santo=dorf Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Of the 110 starting pitchers in major league baseball with 30+ IP this season Gavin Floyd has the highest ERA, the second highest WHIP and has allowed the 2nd most hits but apparently he's a better pitcher than John Danks. Gavin just knows how to win. Maybe Danks should ask for some help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Would anyone be upset if they heard after the game the Sox just released Lillibridge? Seriously, this guy is making Andy Gonzalez look like a major leaguer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can find his way to an NL bench playing for an aggressive micro-manager who values stolen bases then that 40 number is well within reach.
