JDsDirtySox Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Sounds like the decision will be made tomorrow Don't keep Nix, and we lose him... but Aquino has been lights out, and Hudson is a big piece of our future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Santos is on the team already right? If that's the case, definitely Nix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPN366 Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Trade Nix to Detroit if the Sox take 13 pitchers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDsDirtySox Posted March 29, 2010 Author Share Posted March 29, 2010 Yes Santos is Pitcher #12... So the final roster spot is basically a 13th pitcher or Nix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quin Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 Of those, Nix, but only because I don't trust Aquino and I want Hudson to pitch every 5 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the use of a 13th pitcher when we have one of the best rotations in baseball? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daggins Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 12 pitchers is plenty for this staff. The 13th guy would be marginal at best anyways. Nix is the obv choice here as he does some things well and is a good bench player. He has a place on this team and i'd really hate to lose him for nothing.

Jordan4life_2007 Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 I'll be shocked if it's not Nix. Aquino and Hudson don't make a shred of sense right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Nix isn't the ideal utility man with his shaky (though I think he can improve) defense at 3B/SS (stellar at 2B) but the only reason I would take him is we would be relying on a 42 year old to backup alot, not to mention would be getting a ton of at-bats. The power wouldn't hurt either. I still think we will see Hudson alot more this year than people think. (Freddy either getting injured or just not getting the job done but that's just my personal opinion and I hope he proves me wrong) Barring deadline trade for a bat of course.

Once the league catches up to freddy's 87MPH fastball and array of junkballs that are never strikes his ERA will swell to over 5 and then we can call up Hudson to be the 5th starter. This wont happen till the beginning of July though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This wont happen till the beginning of July though. I think you mean if the league catches up to it. Paul Byrd was pretty damn solid for a 2-3 year stretch throwing nothing but 86-90 MPH junk from the right side. Normally those guys get lit up, but if the secondary pitches are good enough and the pitcher knows how to use it, they can be just fine.

soxrwhite Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 I'd love to have the luxury of carrying Hudson for long relief and spot starts, but I went with Nix because I think you have to have more than one spare infielder. Vizquel replaces anyone for any reason and then an in game injury and you are caught with what? Kotsay or Konerko at third base. Nope, gotta have two infielders on the bench. Besides Hudson would only be a phone call away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 I don't want to see Hudson until Garcia fails. Leave him stretched out and at Charlotte. Nix has to be the guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nix better be on this team Right up there with Vizquel leading off and Kotsay batting third. Most teams used to carry 10 pitchers. Now 11 and 12 is the norm because if a pitcher goes over 100 pitches too many times his arm will fall off. With AL teams having a DH when you carry 12 pitchers the bench is very thin. With 13 it just gets ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderBolt Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 I want Nix, but only so he can continue to be "motivated" by Ozzie to turn himself into a radically different players that doesn't meet his skill set.

NorthSideSox72 Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 It was made pretty clear today in the Trib that the 13th pitcher thing isn't happening, now that the club feels Jenks is healthy. Its Nix. CJ is already out, and Lillibridge isn't a real option. I suppose there's a long shot that De Aza makes it over Nix, but, I really doubt it.
