Jordan4life_2007 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 07:28 PM) Chalk it up to AJ sucking....Morel's bad luck and facing the best offense in the AL right now. Humber will be okay. Probably will end up as more of a 3.75-4.25 ERA guy, but that's exactly what Hudson would be with us. Hudson dwarfs Humber. Not to mention Humber is 5 years older.

caulfield12 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 QUOTE (FlySox87 @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 07:28 PM) I wonder if a Mariners-esque losing streak would cost Ozzie his job. That'd be so worth it. I hate Ozzie more than Dunn, Rios, Kenny Williams, Nick Punto, Ichiro, Bud Selig, Mark McGwire, steroids, people who hog weights at the gym, slow drivers, communists, porn music, the French, Ivy League graduates, draft dodgers, the ATF and Bostonians. That's a lot of hate. What about David Koresh and that guy who killed all the students in Norway? Can you really hate Cornell graduates? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxAce Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jul 30, 2011 -> 07:29 PM) I hate defending KW. But I don't think he believes that anymore. Knives won't suffice during a shootout. KW likes to think he has all these cards to play. He just doesn't. Notice you never hear about potential prospects by name from our system in any trade rumors? Because there's nobody to name. Well except Viciedo. Only name I've seen. (unless you want to still count Sale) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you settle for Nova, Betances, and Romine? I mean, don't the Yankees need to make a deal for a starter? That playoff rotation looks like s***.

Hard to argue that when Humber STILL has an ERA nearly a run lower in the AL. We'll see. Usually, long-term, the White Sox aren't wrong about pitching prospects. So far, they seem to be on Gio and Hudson. 2-3 years from now, we'll have a much better assessment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(unless you want to still count Sale) A lot of teams would definitely ask for Mitchell or Thompson as the 3rd/4th guy in any trade. Lester absolutely dominant tonight, anyway. Let's just hope this means the end of Alex Rios in the line-up. If Ozzie plays him two more games in a row against Miller and Sabathia, he deserves to be fired. Or leaves Dunn in the middle of the line-up. Just those two issues alone are enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every MLB GM knows he can hit. It's the lack of a position that mitigates his eventual value...since he couldn't stick at 3B. He would have to be #20-40 as a prospect now, were he eligible.

But I never thought he was the real deal. We've had a very good infield defense all season long. You expect they'll field a lot of grounders, as long as the balls aren't getting hit into the outfield or over the fence. He's definitely not James Baldwin 2000 or Danny Wright. He's just not an ace. A respectable 3rd or possibly 4th starter (depending on the team), sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
