CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted May 6, 2012 Author Share Posted May 6, 2012 QUOTE (fathom @ May 6, 2012 -> 11:56 AM) How slow is Rios now? Sad thing is that was the most predictable DP of the season. 39 at bats and counting since his last extra base hit or walk. LOL same thing I tried to post I said " Oh Rios you are so predictable" but got the error message pink screen when I sent it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 (edited) QUOTE (Reddy @ May 6, 2012 -> 12:56 PM) someone earlier said you were posting like a pregnant woman and it's true... you've been b****ing about KW non-stop yourself. what a weird post. Seriously, if Marty's been watching Stewart pitch from spring training on, there's absolutely nothing to like, and no way to project success at even the AA/AAA level. Remember, this is a guy who had a 7.88 ERA against any team not named the Twins (worst hitting team in the majors, essentially, without Morneau) last year. Throwing 89-91 MPH against any major league team for 2-3 times up is a recipe for disaster without perfect control. So yeah, I really thought the main reason Marty wanted to see him is because he was another "centerpiece" acquired for one of our key players last year.

caulfield12 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Maybe throwing at BP speed is under the "hitting speed" and fooling the Tigers hitters. He's struggling to get the ball past 89 today. Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's struggling to get the ball past 89 today. Weird. He was always 90+ starting for us last year and would even mix in a few at 94. Scouting reports said when he came out of the bullpen in the minors he was at 95-96...I'd like to see that. On the bright side, his ball is moving quite a bit today when he locates it.

You have to cross Peavy and Dunn off your hitlist and add Danks and Morel to Rios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laird was their only decent RH hitter, and you can't burn your catcher there. So that would have left Worth or Santiago, both well under .200, against Santiago or possibly Thornton.

You have to love any 30th round draft pick who gets released and makes it to the majors. Seriously, something has been wrong with Stewart physically since ST.
