witesoxfan Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ May 25, 2011 -> 12:03 AM) I'd rather deal with a young kid that has shown flashes of brilliance and CAN dominate at times rather than an old mop-up pitcher who can't do anything right and has no chance. Tony Pena is 29. He's not old. He just sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Sale just isn't fooling hitters. AJP kept calling for fastballs, even though you could see Moreland beginning to time him. I never would have thought I'd say this last year, but I think Sale has all the makings of a bust of a draft pick. His arm angle is terrible for facing righties.

fathom Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Sale needs to be on the next flight to Charlotte. It's such a waste to have him on the big league squad right now, especially with Ohman pitching much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ginger Kid Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I'll cut Sale some slack. He was in college this time last year. He should go down for a while and get his mojo back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Very nice play by Alexei! Sale finally got his slider close. Still want him in the minors immediately to start changing his approach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ginger Kid Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 QUOTE (fathom @ May 24, 2011 -> 10:14 PM) Do you think Sox brass tries to get him to change his arm angle? I hope not. He's been struggling since Spring Training to find his release. At least his velocity has shown improvement, that's the only thing keeping him competitive right now. Like Hawk said, if you can't throw a breaking ball for a strike you're going to get molested in the big leagues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cali Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Josh Hamilton has a weird swing. It seems like he has no shot to make solid contact ever and yet the ball jumps off his bat. It's a shame he'll probably be out of baseball in a few years. His body is so fragile.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulokis Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Sale needs to get his confidence back while in charlotte. Pena should be off this team. Anybody in charlotte can do better than him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobryansson Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 I'm impressed there are 44 of us here. Sale looked way better after Coop talked to him. Yes, I know it was a LH hitter. We have nobody to replace Sale if he were sent down, particularly if, as should happen, Peña goes away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Predictably, long relief is a concern. Humber will probably be that guy soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
