flavum Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 QUOTE (Jake @ Sep 29, 2012 -> 04:18 PM) This is probably a strong jinx, but Omogrosso is more than "just" a Sept call-up. He's actually very decent and might take over that Crain role in the somewhat near future. I'm happy to have him as our long man. Yeah, I think they really like Omo. Good chance he breaks camp with the Sox next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 Not playing AJ today has to be the dumbest decision of all time, typical of our lay-down White Sox. There will be 6 months to rest pretty damn soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No plus pitches, and he's gotten away with a ton of pitches up in the zone this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No plus pitches, and he's gotten away with a ton of pitches up in the zone this year. 94-95mph heater that he throws for a strike, a decent slider he throws for a strike, and he's even flashed a serviceable changeup.

He's actually very decent and might take over that Crain role in the somewhat near future. I'm happy to have him as our long man. Not so sure...he had a bit crisper fastball before the injuries hit. We'll see how it holds up over the course of a full season, were he to make the team out of ST. You'd have to go Reed, Thornton and Crain (not that I want to see Matt on the team again in 2013), Veal, Nathan Jones and that last spot is wide open between any number of possibilities like Omogrosso, Septimo, Marinez, Heath, Santos Rodriguez, Salvador Sanchez and the other youngster we have down in the AFL, Taylor Thompson, Rienzo, Axelrod, Castro, Molina, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figure the veteran would want to go down fighting rather than sitting in the dugout as young Sale stunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The speed isn't terribly important since he doesn't really blow it by anyone anyway. He's kind of like Crain, though his slider doesn't look as good to me. It's all about throwing strikes for 'grosso, it's a tremendous part of his value. Not sure why he doesn't look anything like the guy he was reported to be though (100mph?)
