Chicago White Sox Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I seriously hate Jeff Manto. It may not be his fault, but I've never seen a Sox team fall 0-2 in the count so frequently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked this last week, but it's intriguing to wonder who could be the starting catcher next year. Seems like it will be someone outside the organization.

southsider2k5 Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 16, 2013 -> 06:36 PM) How so? If it means a non-prospect in Axelrod gets bumped for a potential #3 starter in Santiago, it could be a good thing for the organization in the short and long run. Versus having a guy actually be successful? That is just an astounding want. You want your own team to fail? Really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You want your own team to fail? Really? I don't consider Axelrod anything close to being a future part of this organization. With Santiago, if this year is going to be about getting people like Viciedo and Flowers experience, then I think getting him innings under his belt is extremely important.

It makes zero sense to be rooting for someone to fail in April. In all seriousness, if people really believe crap like that, they need to quit watching baseball. Just walk away, because you are missing the entire point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all seriousness, if people really believe crap like that, they need to quit watching baseball. Just walk away, because you are missing the entire point. This is no different than Bulls fans wanting Rip Hamilton to play poorly so Jimmy Butler can get more minutes at the shooting guard to see if he can develop into a starting shooting guard in the future. To me, Axelrod is blocking the development of a much more talented performer. I've not seen one person say they want to lose and Axelrod pitch badly.

Observing that a below average pitcher is below average isn't negative. It's being realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
