Y2Jimmy0 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 QUOTE (fathom @ Mar 22, 2016 -> 04:43 PM) Discouraging from Latos. Average high fastballs with no movement is a bad recipe. In the first start of the spring. I think he's fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elrockinMT Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 We have two weeks left and regardless of it's spring training or not I am not real impressed by the 5th or 6th starter possibilities. Position players on the other hand are rally pushing each other Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus being his first start I was surprised Robin let him throw that many innings... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanne Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 One thing I have noticed this spring...I absolutely LOVE what Jimmy Rollins brings to this team! Not only what he's done at the plate so far...but just his presence on the field. You can tell he's the QB on the infield by a long shot. Miss a cut off or throw to the wrong base...he'll let whoever the culprit is know about it an what's expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Position players on the other hand are rally pushing each other I'm not impressed with our 4th or 5th starters, let alone our 6th starter. Danks & Latos scare me and I've been pretty vocal that I don't buy Turner as a legit option as a #5 of a contender. I was hoping Johnson would be good and unfortunately that doesn't seem to be the case (as I thought he was actually the best of the overall vote). Depth is good but if all of the depth is bad, well...than what do you do. That said, it is still spring and Latos is still working his way back. Of all the people, despite stinking last year, he has shown quite a bit of recent success so you can hope for a turnaround. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss a cut off or throw to the wrong base...he'll let whoever the culprit is know about it an what's expected. I've always been a fan and I was so pumped when the Sox signed him. I've always thought we needed more leadership from that position and while Alexei seems like a fine teammate - he doesn't bring the leadership element that the IF needed. Love what I'm seeing from the new infielders, especially Rollins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shysocks Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Not too worried about Latos as long as he's healthy. When he pitches he'll be a perfectly fine 4th guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He felt good innings 1-4 and just got out of what he wanted to do in the 5th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as he feels OK after pitching, I'm not worried about performance . . . yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
