Jordan4life_2007 Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Sep 28, 2009 -> 07:22 PM) what the hell is going to happen with Josh Fields? Is he coming back to play 1b next year? They're not gonna bring him back to be a backup. He'll get moved during the offseason. I'm almost certain.

Dick Allen Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 28, 2009 -> 07:19 PM) How does one not get Richard Simmons like giddy when thinking about a Peavy/Buehrle/Danks/Floyd/Garcia/Hudson starting rotation next year? Because that's been the rotation the past 10 games or so and nothing much has changed. Its a nice start though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he coming back to play 1b next year? Ozzie was talking the other day about the defense saying at the beginning of the year he was playing guys who couldn't catch a cold, and he said he wouldn't name names. Fields is one of those guys. He can homer his next 20 AB, he's done with the Sox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwerty Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 QUOTE (elgonzo4sox @ Sep 28, 2009 -> 05:45 PM) All those of you who have been begging to see the kids get your wish granted tonight - enjoy! Dweezy, RF Slayer, 3B Q, LF PK, DH Rios, CF Fields, 1B Flowers, C Nix, 2B Lillibridge, SS I'm happy to see Flowers behind the plate instead of Castro, because Flowers has more future potential with the Sox. But I don't care to see Lillibridge go for the all-time MLB record of most plate appearances in a season without an RBI. I'd rather see Alexei get another game's worth of experience fielding at SS. Lillibridge must have felt the pressure you put on him today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted September 29, 2009 Share Posted September 29, 2009 QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Sep 28, 2009 -> 07:28 PM) 10 games, huh? I take it all back. I'd rather have the Brewers rotation. Its a small sample size, but Peavy has been lights out and before yesterday no other pitcher won a game since he had been in the rotation. It wasn't like they have been playing the best teams in the league and they were at home in must win games. Its going to take more than that rotation to win a championship. Think about it, Hudson will be a rookie, probably in the bullpen until somebody breaks down. Garcia can be a decent 5th starter. Floyd, hopefully his hip is something very minor. Danks and Peavy look solid, but if Buerhle has to keep being held back, at the end of the year what happens? The bullpen will be a key. Dotel has been told he won't be back. Jenks is up in the air. Thornton is solid. Pena has potential. Linebrink can come back. Hudson could be a solid piece. If the Sox bullpen is bad, they are screwed no matter who is in the rotation.

I was messin' with you, man. I guess we can just agree to disagree. I don't feel like arguing today. I love our projected rotation. They alone give me hope for next year. I totally agree about the bullpen. I've just recently come to the conclusion that a bad bullpen = you ain't sniffin' October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest bad moves I could think of were Thome and Manny leaving in FA Andy Marte hasn't worked out too well for them. Extending Hafner hasn't worked out too well for them. The strategy of slowly letting people walk away lately hasn't worked too well, if for no other reason than they can't get a burst of guys all ready together at the same time.

The division shouldn't have any juggernauts unless the new park in Minneapolis makes the Pohlad family shell out some of their billions. There's a big article in SI about the Tigers and how they have gone about attracting fans, and how Illich isn't a profit and loss guy. If they fall short he may go into the red although the free agent class isn't exactly stellar and their farm system can't have much left that would interest other teams into giving up productive players. I think KC will be better. Cleveland is rebuilding. It will be interesting to see what KW's bullpen plan is. I think that's the key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't even think it's a case of "could be" but will be. I think Jacobs will be better and a healthy gordon and another year for butler...plus some solid pitching...
