Everyone says Coop fixed them, or Coop can fix them. All I asked is what did he do to fix them? I'll drop it though.

 

In Coop's own words, his job is "1/3 mechanics, 1/3 psychologist, 1/3 priest".

 

In other words, he fixes flaws in player's deliveries, he helps get their minds right on the mound, and he helps them exorcise their past demons...

 

All of which help them be more successful... assuming they have the talent to do so in the first place.

On Thursday, John Danks, Lucas Harrell, Randy Williams, Sergio Santos, Erick Threets, Ryan Braun, Brian Omogrosso are scheduled to pitch for the White Sox against the Angels in the first game of Spring Training, which can be seen on MLB.TV.

 

On Friday, the White Sox will send Mark Buehrle, Jeff Marquez, Scott Linebrink, J.J. Putz, Santo Luis and Freddy Dolsi to the mound against the Dodgers in an exclusive whitesox.com Web cast.

I have to disagree with you that he has done a great job with other reclamation projects. I think he has had more failures than successes.

 

Successes:

Thornton

 

Failures:

Linebrink

Jenks (keeps regressing)

Aardsma

Sisco

Cotts

MacDougal

Masset

Polite

Contreras

 

I'm not blaming him for the failures as much as showing you that his ability to "fix" people is overblown.

 

Jenks had 1 bad month last year.

Hudson looked all-man team. Two IP, 4Ks, no hits. Plus, he fanned "Snoopy Dog" as Oz called him.

 

I'll be the first to say it.. I hope Hudson quietly out pitches Freddy to make this team. I think he's the better option going forward, plus I love prospects/young players. :D I've said this all winter though, so it's no secret.
