ChiSox_Sonix Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 (edited) Vargas has actually pitched well this year. I remember the Marlins were once pretty high on him. Judging by his basic lines, he's really only had two bad starts this year. Edited July 28, 2010 by ChiSox_Sonix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Buehrle is on his game because Vargas is the type of pitcher that gives us trouble. Should be a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn't had anything extra in terms of rest since the AS break and went 0/yesterday. Can't hurt to rest his legs a bit more today. That's what the rotating DH was supposed to do.

Keep a player's bat in the lineup while resting him from the field. This is why he wanted Kotsay and Jones. Good defenders in the field while the starters rest.

TitoMB345 Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Will I ever see this lineup? LF - Pierre SS - A-Ram CF - Rios 1B - Konerko RF - Quentin C - AJP DH - Viciedo 2B - Beckham 3B - Vizquel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep a player's bat in the lineup while resting him from the field. This is why he wanted Kotsay and Jones. Good defenders in the field while the starters rest. Well the reason I ask is because I figure if Rios needs rest, may as well not even play him, put Viciedo at DH, and then Vizquel at 3B. That improves our defense all around, and we all know how important defense is when Buehrle is pitching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only a good plan if you have capable offensive players, which we really don't have in Kotsay and Jones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 QUOTE (chw42 @ Jul 28, 2010 -> 02:58 PM) It's only a good plan if you have capable offensive players, which we really don't have in Kotsay and Jones. Jones has an OPS+ of 98 on the season and a .753 OPS. Against LH pitchers in particular, he has an .853 OPS. Furthermore, he's been a plus fielder in both CF and RF, despite limited time there (he's been a negative fielder in LF, but he's played a total of 10 games there, as opposed to 35 in RF). Yes, he's all or nothing, but he's pretty much been exactly the kind of guy you'd want on your bench and rotating through the DH as the right-handed partner. Strong on defense, and especially against LHP, not a liability with the bats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
