greg775 Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 I have lightened up on Rios and I hate former Royals pitchers. I've admitted I was wrong on Carrasco and that he is outstanding in the role he has. Certainly you do not want him in an expanded role to where he takes over Thornton's role when Thornton becomes the closer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh sure greg, that is pretty much exactly what I said and inferred Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 I didn't mean to say that is what you inferred. I'm saying Carrasco was great in his role and a valuable member of the team. I admitted I was wrong on Carrasco but not wrong on any other of the former KC relievers who sucked with the Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dotel was fine. So yes, you were wrong there too And whats the point of this fantasy scenario where Thornton is closer and Carrasco is his setup? Does it further your point about Dye?

ThunderBolt Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Jermaine Dye was a former Royal.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 (edited) Dotel was not fine. Dotel is way overpaid. Some nights he had it, many he didn't and completely sucked. He's not reliable and I hope he is shipped out. The Royals actually should sign Dye and Thome both. But they are too cheap.

A little less than fine this year, but solid nonetheless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can turn it around next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
