elrockinMT Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 QUOTE (Tannerfan @ Sep 21, 2011 -> 12:52 AM) Is Axelrod someone I should be excited about? You know I am not certain. This is only his second game with the Sox. He did pretty fair in his first satrt, but until there is some positive history it's always a crap shoot in my opinion. Look at Stewart. Had a fanatstic one hitter, but really has been mediocre in his other starts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 QUOTE (Tannerfan @ Sep 20, 2011 -> 06:52 PM) Is Axelrod someone I should be excited about? he seems very Buehrle like in his stuff, except right handed. Not much in the way of velocity, but depends on deception and spotting his pitches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnCangelosi Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Steve Stone just said that Adam Dunn could win the comeback player of the year just by "coming back". By the way, I'm not sure if Hawk has said it before, but the "Dunn is going to work hard and come back strong" talk from him just popped up last inning. I'm waiting for the first story in January about Dunn "hitting off a tee" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elrockinMT Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Things ain't looking good right now for Axelrod. Indians with a run in and bases full and no out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to have read that Mr Rogers thinks Escobar gives the team more flexibility, but I woud really prefer the veteran presence of Omar on the team for at least one more year anyway. He is still pretty darn good with the leather Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elrockinMT Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Flowers has got to learn how to hit big league pitching. Maybe he and Dunn can work out together this winter. Otherwise that bat is going to keep him as a back up catcher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to take a few cuts off Axelrod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
