fathom Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 QUOTE (elrockinMT @ May 3, 2013 -> 02:29 AM) You feel good now but what happens when he has a bad outing or two? Part of the maturation process for him as a starter. It's going to happen, as even the home run he allowed tonight was on a cutter, a pitch he didn't throw as a reliever.

Chicago White Sox Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 QUOTE (fathom @ May 2, 2013 -> 08:29 PM) Great to see Santiago performing well. Beginning of a long starting career for him hopefully. The question is what happens to him in a few weeks if Danks comes back? Will they move him or Axelrod to bullpen? I know what I'd do without question, but god only knows what Robin and/or Hahn will decide. They may be against having 4 lefties in the rotation.

caulfield12 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ May 2, 2013 -> 07:29 PM) Babip in my mind is a dumb stat. Keppinger was put in positions to succeed as that is a Tampa focus. The white sox plug guys in and off they go. When was the last time they ever had a platoon situation? Not a straight platoon, but in 2010, Ozzie played Viciedo almost strictly against LHP'ers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're dying to have a team that lets young guys play, but are flabbergasted when it doesn't pan out (or doesn't start well, at least) I wouldn't consider Flowers exactly a young guy (27 years old). Also, I think everyone knew he was going to struggle mightily to hit if he had to face a lot of righties this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 (edited) What is Flowers with RISP now? Good god, with DeAza (2013K version), Dunn, Viciedo, Flowers and then Wells, five pretty much all or nothing hitters.

Jake Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Whether he is 24 or 27 is immaterial if this is his first real shot in the big leagues. If we got 4-5 years out of this catcher, it's all worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we got 4-5 years out of this catcher, it's all worth it I put him in the same category as De Aza last year. Inexperienced with a year to prove themselves in an important role.

caulfield12 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 C. Carter now has 47 K's in 100 AB's. And Porcello's ERA is 8.14. Yikes. Wonder how long before they go to Smyly? I doubt they would be stupid enough to release him and let him to go the White Sox. But stranger things have happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
