caulfield12 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 22, 2013 -> 06:25 PM) Who else was available? Seriously, you can't just say don't pitch Santiago, who pitches? DFA Greene, whatever. We have Sanchez and Beckham available Friday. I would rather sacrifice Spencer Arroyo from AA, who's pitched well this year and might actually have done well. Pitching John Danks on 3 day's rest or Erik Johnson on 3 day's rest wouldn't have been any better...but it's still a disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted May 23, 2013 Share Posted May 23, 2013 QUOTE (Jake @ May 22, 2013 -> 06:29 PM) We are really overreacting to the potential risk of starting Santiago today. It is sub-optimal, but really not a big deal. Those side sessions are typically thrown at a very low intensity. You wouldn't develop any soreness, for instance. Some guys won't even throw them from a mound. But when you take a pitcher out of his normal routine...even if it's just one day, and it's not like Santiago has been a starter at the big league level for 3-4-5 years, it's going to shake him up a little. And we have no way of knowing exactly what was the velocity he was throwing at (some throw harder so they're a bit tired, others don't)...just the quotes we read from the newspaper expressing some doubt and trepidation. He's still not over the 4th inning Saturday, one would think. It's just a puzzling way to treat one of the most valuable assets in your entire organization.

How many outs or simple mistakes has DeAza made this year already? He's more dangerous to us than Carlos Lee on the basepaths, sheez. More blunders than Jose Valentin and AJ in their entire Sox careers, one would think. Edited May 23, 2013 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
