SoxAce Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 (edited) The Greek god of walks had 5 BBs in a game today vs Detroit. Alexei doesn't even have 5 BBs for the entire season. Edited May 16, 2010 by SoxAce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Andre Eithier is leading MLB with a .392 average and 38 RBI and is at the top of the NL with 11 HR. He broke his pinky finger in batting practice. Not sure yet if it's a DL trip or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleHurt05 Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 Reds win 2 out of 3 vs. STL, and are now in 1st place in the NL Central. I guess its the first time since July that the Cards weren't in first. I know its only mid-May, but the Reds have been popular sleeper picks the last couple years, maybe this is the year they can hang in there until September.

fathom Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 QUOTE (Jenks Heat @ May 17, 2010 -> 05:17 PM) They could be a good White Sox trade partner Maybe we can trade for their righty set-up man and their SS! In all seriousness, Jenks as a set-up man for them makes a lot of sense. They wouldn't need Konerko or AJP, and I can't see them taking in Buehrle.

If you are in a pennant race and your set-up guy can't get people out and blows games, that makes absolutely no sense at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes another team will think a change of scenery will benefit a player or perhaps they see a flaw in his mechanics that they think they can fix.

True, but that sounds more of like a spring training or early season idea, not something to test out when you are fighting for a playoff spot.

ThunderBolt Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Spending the night rotating between Clayton Richard against the Giants and John Ely against the Astros. Not even going to comment on CR, because I’m a firm supporter of the Peavy trade, but my god,it looks like Ely really knows how to pitch. He sequences each batter perfectly, and changes speeds at will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sequences each batter perfectly, and changes speeds at will. Those moves could look bad on paper for us because those guys get to pitch half of their games at Dodger Stadium and Petco Park, and almost all of them in the National League. The Peavy move is indeed fine, but the Pierre move could eventually end up really bad. Edited May 18, 2010 by whitesoxfan101 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if he was available, you could trade that group of less than top-notch prospects for him also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck, Carlos Silva is a valuable starter in that league. Jenks would be a premier closer in the NL. From watching the NL it just seems that teams give at bats away and do not work a pitcher like they do in the AL, not including the White Sox.

LittleHurt05 Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Trever Hoffman at it again. Blows a two-run lead: 0 IP, 4 H, 3 ER, 1 BB, 1 HR. Now 5/10 in saves, 13.15 ERA, 2.15 WHIP Might be time to hang em up old man, although its crazy that last year he had one of his best seasons ever.

Jordan4life_2007 Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Andre Ethier to the DL. http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20...sp&c_id=mlb Leading the league in BA, HR (actually tied with Kelly Johnson), RBI, OBP and SLG%. This really blows. Could he have kept this pace up? Maybe not. But you never want to see in injury derail what was looking like a historic individual season.
