greg775 Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 2, 2012 -> 06:09 PM) Matt Spiegel @MattSpiegel670 From a trusted source: Brett Myers vesting option based on games finished will have zero impact on any decisions about his usage. If Cooptura want Myers to close, he will. Not saying that's imminent, & I'm in no way recommending it; but 10M option year is not an issue. There's no way in hell this guy will finish enough games to get the option year. You think the White Sox are going to pay a 10 million dollar option year on this guy? No way.

hi8is Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 QUOTE (Brian @ Aug 2, 2012 -> 02:45 PM) If they make him a starter they will. Myers as a starter in the AL for the Sox... What type of numbers would you expect? I'd see 200+/- innings - work horse number 4 type stuff. Maybe a 1.3 WHIP if cooper works well with him.

OilCan Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Only thing is on Myers, when was the last time he started a game? Physically can he handle the rigors of the AL as a full time starter? And would he hamper the bullpen if Coop/Ventura do switch him as a starter? IMHO he's fine where he is in the pen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noonskadoodle Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I could see Myers starting off well as a starter & then completely faltering down the stretch like Derek Lowe this season. Rather have him in the bullpen. Sale Peavy Danks Floyd Liriano Would be a fun starting 5 to watch all season long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO he's fine where he is in the pen. 2011 - 33 starts, 216 IP 2010 - 33 starts, 223.2 IP I think his arm can handle starting the whole year and he would be a help to the bullpen. He has 6 other seasons with 30+starts. How his 4.21 career ERA in the NL would translate to the AL is the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So glad we have good pitching in comparison to these teams. Both teams have slightly better team ERA's this year than the Sox. Not that its drastic, but that statement doesn't really work. And the Angels top 3 in their rotation is pretty f***ing nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think i would take out Starters over theirs even though they have Weaver who should win the cy young this year. But we have 6 quality starters in Q Floyd Danks(when healthy) Liriano Peavy and Sale oh and Phillip Humber is not a bad spot starter guy with a Perfect game on his Resume. I think it would be interesting to compare our 5 starters to theirs at a complete whole. I think their bullpen may be a little better and I would say our pitching is way deeper than texas for sure. Feliz is hurt just like Danksy but I think we are better than them anyways even with the DUMPster in their starting rotation.

Noonskadoodle Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 The White Sox signed Tommy Manzella to a minor league contract, according to the transactions page at CBSSports.com. Manzella, who was the Astros' Opening Day shortstop in 2010, has spent the last two years in the minors. The 29-year-old played for affiliates of the Brewers and Diamondbacks this year, posting a .229/.308/.271 batting line in 295 plate appearances.

I saw somewhere today that MLB has denied the Angels request. Sox win. Also, Gonzalez just tweeted that Liriano will start Saturday vs Oakland. I imagine that means, Floyd Friday and Sale on Sunday.

When I was a kid I was at a game in Sept. 1978, the Sox vs. Twins with a whole bunch of September call ups. Larry Doby was the Sox manager and he protested the game because one of the Twins, who had probably just been called up that day, didn't have his name of the back of his uniform. They announced the protest and reason on the PA. The crowd laughed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
