Brian Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 All I could find on Greg Smith is that he is a soft tossing lefty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lostfan Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Unknown pitcher + lefty + Sox-killer Mike Sweeney now playing for the A's = AHHHHH Â Seriously Mike Sweeney is the best player either nobody ever talks about, or everybody just plain forgot about.

SoxAce Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 (edited) Should be a cool day for Swisher-House facing his old team. Hopefully he has a big series. Â We'll also get to see BearSox's boy R. Sweeney's return. Â EDIT: Forgot he's injured. He'll still be around on the bench though. (pretty sure he'll get a camera shot) Edited April 14, 2008 by SoxAce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daa84 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 from baseball america a couple years ago Q: Bill from Tempe, AZ asks: Greg Smith put up great numbers in the minor league's worst ballpark for pitchers, yet he's not regarded as a premier prospect. What's his upside? A: Â Will Lingo: He's No. 13 (15 in the book before the departure of two guys ahead of him) in one of the most talented organizations in the game, so he's no slouch. Smith actually went 9-0, 1.63 with Lancaster, so his performance there was impressive. He doesn't get more attention because he's your classic finesse lefty who doesn't blow anybody away. His fastball touches 90 and his curveball and changeup are nice pitches, but his biggest strength is his feel for pitching and for setting up hitters. So you look for him to be a middle of the rotation guy at best. Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Time to keep the run going. Â Our hitters need to keep remaining patient, and keep doing what they're doing. Â Keep taking 2 out of 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds good to me.. i'll be at both of them C'mon Buerhle.. be your self and do your thing. Wouldn't it be sweet to have 3 consecutive shutouts? When was the last time that happend? Statman?

NorthSideSox72 Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 1st place team, solid opening to the season... its good to be a Sox fan right now.
