joejoesox Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 QUOTE (Big Daddy Kool @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 10:11 AM) Is that a high walk rate? averaging like one walk every 2 innings, yeah that needs to come down a bit also, if gordon and aaron are "major league-ready" at 22 years old, why isn't Danks2?

elrockinMT Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 QUOTE (GreatScott82 @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 03:05 PM) I'm guessing Poreda called up, Richard back to the pen as the long reliever/spot starter. Colon is released. Leaving the rotation the rest of the year: Buerhle, Floyd, Danks, Contreras, Poreda Isn't that what most of us predicted to start the year back in the winter? Look at Poredas #'s this year: Poreda 2009 stats He is more than ready to go. . That is a lot of guessing. My guess is Fields is gone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 10:08 AM) Someone better call Joe and tell him Poreda is confirming he's being called up on the radio. He is a hack. Cowley is pissed that he got scooped by Facebook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reddy Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 i'm confused. we're that ready to give up on richard as a starter? sure his last two outings haven't been terrible, but he was brilliant in the three before them. i HATE how this organization gives up on certain guys quickly, and NEVER does with others. What if we'd yanked Floyd after his string of terrible starts? And CR's weren't even terrible, just a couple severely mediocre starts. I dunno... I'm not thrilled about this. Wait and see.

pmcochr Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 10:17 AM) also, if gordon and aaron are "major league-ready" at 22 years old, why isn't Danks2? I can't really say that GB and Poreda ARE ready but I wouldn't base it solely on age. I think it is more of a marketing aspect. They are the highest touted prospects we have and the Sox want to get more people to the stadium. Hopefully they can produce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPN366 Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I had a feeling that Friday night was the last time I'd see him pitch in person. The Barons now have zero left handed pitchers. Congratulations Aaron! You guys are going to love him up there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreatScott82 Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Cowley on the score: Says the short term plan is Poreda is up to take Colon's spot in the starting rotation. He will likely make his MLB debut vs Milwaukee. Thinks Colon will be released or put on the 15 day DL. Says the Freddy Garcia signing is a safety net and now he is the insurance plan in case Poreda struggles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 (edited) That's shocking to me if true. I know Poreda is a nice prospect, but I think throwing him the rotation at this point isn't going to net better results than Colon or Richard. Plus KW has always said he likes young pitchers to get their feet wet coming out of the bullpen. Edited June 9, 2009 by Dick Allen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CR will go back to being the long reliever/ spot starter. I personally think CR has done a great job starting. However, KW and Ozzie want to take things a little slower with him as they feel he has started to aqcuire 'tired arm'. Which is understandable saying that he started as reliever then went to be a starter- so he wasn't neccesarily stretched out properly.

Balta1701 Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 QUOTE (joesaiditstrue @ Jun 9, 2009 -> 08:36 AM) Joe Cowley predicting a firesale coming. The problem that 95% of the people here would have with a legit firesale is that it would wind up moving guys that we like (JD, perhaps Thome, etc.) to clear room for guys that this board has declared to be no-talent hacks (Fields, Getz, Beckham, Anderson) because Fields, Getz, and Anderson simply have vastly more value to this team as developmental projects than they do in a trade.

WSoxMatt Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Buehrle is 1 pitcher in 10 years...Id say Clayton Richard has not proven himself yet and you should be embarassed to mention him in the same breath as Mark Buehrle for bullpen success to starter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've heard repeatedly that getting better feel of his change and slider were all that was standing between him and being a really solid guy, given the speed and movement on his fastball. Is he actually ready? No one appears to be hitting him in AA, but he does walk a few. I think he's not going to be cruising that second time through the line-up at the major league level. Just let him relieve and fire the fastball. When and if you pull the plug, stretch him back out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chisox2334 Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 with the way sox hit, it really isnt a fire sale. Dotel, Thome, and Dye are likely canidates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
