flavum Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 QUOTE (Andy the Clown @ Jul 19, 2014 -> 09:51 PM) Nice performance from our #3 starter Noesi. #2 like Paulino was in the first half. Noesi is a decent 4-5. Maybe next year good enough to be considered a 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenSox Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 (edited) It looks like Putnam should be the closer, at least for a while. No need to rush Rodon. At this level of performance, Noesi remains, at best, a #5. Edited July 20, 2014 by GreenSox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 (edited) QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Jul 20, 2014 -> 04:03 AM) Winning is better than losing That's how I feel. Cmon folks, let's hear it for the 2 wins vs. the Stros. Better than losing to 'em. Once again many individual players normally despised come through. Flowers?? Kudos tonight again for his 3 hits and the big one. DeAza? Nice job again. The bullpen? WTF. It came through again. Noesi does OK and Eaton and Lexi excel again. Of course Eaton and Lexi aren't despised, just the others. If we could get A. Garcia back could we contend for wild card? No, I won't go there. But like Big Hurt said ... winning is better than losing. Happy Saturday!! Edited July 20, 2014 by greg775 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chitownsportsfan Posted July 20, 2014 Share Posted July 20, 2014 Good game although should have been a more comfortable win. Hector had good stuff and luckily the Astros didn't make him pay that 3rd time around quite enough. 13 hits but only scored 4 runs, that's not good. Watching Altuve verse Beckham... If the Sox had signed Robbie Cano they might have been wild card contenders. This team seemingly isn't half bad but 2B and SP need major upgrades. Beckam is now hitting 232/284/370. Sox will be lucky to get anything for Gordon, maybe an intriguing A ball pitcher at best. On the SP front, good news is that even if Rodon is middle case, solid #2 or 3 starter, the Sox have a really good top of the rotation locked down for 5+ years (knock on wood) and finding a 4th and 5th shouldn't be too difficult given their past success. If Rodon is an ace, that gives some room for Sale or Q to fall off a bit, or all 3 of them dominate best case and the Sox can contend for years to come mostly based on them alone. Obviously the team needs to inject more talent both at the MLB and MilB levels, but getting Rodon was a huge coup and enough of Hahn's moves are paying off to where the team is now baseline mediocre instead of awful, with quite a bit of payroll flexibility in the years to come.
