flavum Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Sep 5, 2012 -> 08:19 PM) Tigers breaking it open in the 8th. Looks like it will stay a 1 game lead. They go on the road now for 10 games. 3 at Anaheim (they're heating up), 4 at Sox, 3 at Cleveland. When the Tigers leave Chicago, we need a 3-game lead.

Wha? I feel better about this team for next year, than I do for this year. Danks back, Sale/Quintana stretched out for innings, Peavy or Floyd maybe back or maybe not, Dunn is back to being himself, Beckham seems to be making strides, Viciedo developing, Rios playing up to his talent, young bullpen getting experience, a few good prospects making the minors a little better... really the only big concerns I have about 2013 are catcher and third base (and AJ may come back). Not sure why I'm taking this bait either, I should probably have just let it go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunofgold Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 First place ...still...yeah. Either 1 or 2 games up after the Angels-Tiggs game. Guaranteed at least a tie with Tiggs going into the showdown with them. lol. Could be up 3 if everything swings our way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than Sale, none of the young players have done enough for me to feel confident that they can be significant pieces going forward. The core of Konerko, Rios, and Dunn are all a year older, AJ and Peavy are free-agents, and Danks is a 4-year albatross. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKA, exactly where we were coming in to this season, except with $25 million cleared in AJ and Peavy, and a whole lot more experience and confidence in the kids out in the bullpen.

Worse. The entire IF needs to be replaced within 2 years, Danks is an albatross, and Reed is nowhere close to being "a machine built to close games."

Jake Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 OF - good to go, should be even better next year. 3B - who knows, but we'll have money to spend there SS - good to go, Alexei could drive in 80 runs this year and is still perhaps the best defender at this position 2B - question mark. Gordon will be around, he's great defensively, unlikely to ever be better than a .250 hitter. Carlos Sanchez will likely push him early and often 1B/DH - good to go C - not sure. AJ may be back and we'll see what he does, otherwise Flowers has been looking pretty good with more consistent ABs Rotation - Stretched out Sale, Quintana. Repaired Danks. Possibly Gavin but Hector, Axelrod, Simon Castro, Leesman, and others will get looks. We have money to spend in FA and could potentially bring Peavy back. Bullpen - questions to be asked are out there. Crain, Jones, Reed, Septimo, Veal, Axelrod likely to return. Reed has hiccuped recently in the ninth but I'm not very worried about this presently. We can get someone to take care of the 9th. I feel fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
