Eminor3rd Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Dec 2, 2010 -> 04:14 PM) The issue with this is...what do we do with Ozzie's usual desire for 2 lefty setup men in the bullpen.

joeynach Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 QUOTE (MuckFinnesota @ Dec 2, 2010 -> 04:08 PM) I'm glad that they cut ties with Jenks (thank you for 2005), but I hope that they don't go into this year with a closer by committee approach. If Sale isn't a starter, I would think he would be a good option. Who would the White Sox realistically bring in to close from another organization and who is a realistic (and not a pipe dream) free agent that the Sox would bring in? Closer's are just quality bullpen arms assigned to the 9th inning. How many big free agent closer contracts have really worked out? The most important thing is to gather quality arms in the pen, whoever closes, I could care less. Not that this is an easy thing, but give me 5 Matt Thorntons in the pen and let which ever one you feel like close the damn game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeynach Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Dec 2, 2010 -> 04:46 PM) $5-6 mill should be about the amount it is going to cost per year to get Putz. It's a matter of whether the Sox will let him close and how many years they are willing to go. I think Putz is a guy you let the market dictate the terms then decide if you want to match or not. No doubt hes a quality arm, durability is a bit of a factor, but he can definitely work the 7th/8th/9th and shut it down. If someone wants to give him 3/18 you probably say goodbye. If someone wants to give him 2/10, you prolly match right. If less, even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeynach Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 QUOTE (Thunderbolt @ Dec 2, 2010 -> 04:17 PM) More to the point, what do we do without the ability to use Thornton in high-leverage spots? We're shooting ourselves in the foot by putting Matt in the spot, without another viable bullpen arm. 100% agree, this is an absolute crucial point. If the sox want Thornton to close, fine by me, but you better find a suitable replacement for the 7th/8th. You simply can not win ballgames without a multitude of quality "go to" arms in the pen. And any baseball betting man will back that up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not amazing at all. He was great. Do you think he'll be a Cub? Edited December 3, 2010 by greg775 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
