Dick Allen Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 If Colon has a breaking ball, he's the obvious choice. He did have a few pretty good starts before he went down. Freddy if he's ever ready, won't be for a while. If Poreda and Richard for Peavy would have happened and Peavy didn't get hurt, KW might have had to do some time. Poreda starting I don't think is a good idea right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemon_44 Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 i voted for Richard but i think if Colon has some good starts if/when get back that the spot is there for the taking. Otherwise, i ride it out with Richard. What is Poreda struggles. then you have 2 guys you can't count on. Poreda is staring to earn a couple more appearances as of late but i don't think he's ready to handle a full lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prochisox Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 I would give Colon one last shot and have him on a short leash, after that, if he fails, the Poreda show begins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I believe she did, but I voted for Pordea. If he's gonna be up here and Clayton is gonna keep pitching like crap, then why not give the rook a shot at it.

Kenny Hates Prospects Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Carlos Torres. Then think about making a small trade. How much will Doug Davis cost? If it's a top prospect then hell no, because I wouldn't offer arb after the season despite the good year. Bedard and Washburn might be too expensive. Washburn isn't going to get salary arb because of his contract so he's not worth the price, and our top spects are worth more than draft picks so no to Bedard. Would the Rays still deal Jeff Niemann now, who is having a decent season? The Rays have lots of pitching behind him, even without Chef Boyardee aka Andy Sonnanstine on the team. Can Coop fix Scott Olsen, Ian Snell, or Chien-Ming Wang? Ian Kennedy's numbers in NY are horrid, but he still could be the next Slowey. Are the Yanks about ready to give up on him? There might be some options. If we're going to have a bad fifth starter, I'd like a bad fifth starter who might be able to become a good 3rd or 4th starter in the future. And I don't want to give up the moon for said pitcher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spiderman Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Bartolo Colon, if he is healthy enough. If not, Poreda. The Sox are already hoping that Colon can pitch on July 24th in the DH against the Tigers. I had read a while ago that Richards had very bad stats in the minors when hitters saw him a 2nd time through the lineup, and that has been a problem as a starter (although not today when he got rocked from the beginning) so he needs to go back to the bullpen or to the minors, and work on his issues. Earlier in the season, he was ok as a 5-6th inning guy. Colon, if healthy, was actually ok earlier this season. He's not going to give you more than 5-6 innings, but we're talking about a 5th starter here. I'm a bit nervous about using Poreda in that role, when he is so raw, and don't want to ruin what has to be high level of confidence, but, Colon may not be healthy enough, and Poreda may be our best option to fill that spot.

As I am speaking to someone who makes continual absolutist statements, you should fully understand where I am going with this. I've never been more sure of anything on Soxtalk than I am of this: The Sox will not trade for Halladay unless Toronto either pays his salary or they take back salary in return. In other words, a trade between the White Sox and Toronto involving Roy Halladay between now and the end of the 2009 regular season is not happening.
