Here is a sample of what I am fighting.
Shuf,
Let's review some of your sorry-ass franchise's recent pitching disasters, shall we?
1. 1st round pick, Matt Ginter, traded yesterday to Mets for Timo Perez. Yes, Timo Perez. It was explained as such: If Aaron Rowand (i.e. the world-beater) gets hurt, they need Perez. Instead of the great Jeremy Reed or the future, Joe Borchard, whom they spent $5.5 MM on just to sign a contract? Huh?
2. 1st round pick Jason Stumm, his career hanging by a thread down in the bushes because he's had not just reconstructive elbow surgery, but also reconstructive shoulder surgery. Uh, not a rosy outlook... hanging by a thread indeed.
3. The number one prospect in all of baseball three years ago, right-handed starter, Jon Rauch, has surgery, couldn't find anything upon returning... currently battling out four other hacks for one of the last spots on the roster. That's a long ways down, huh?
4. Corwin Malone, another great left-handed flame-throwing starter has Tommy John surgery last year. Upon his return, the WS brass don't like what they see. Recently designated for assignment (uh, that's code for: they guy's got nothing).
5. Six words: Keith Foulke for essentially Billy Koch.
Of course, they did ship Rocky Biddle off to Montreal. He only saved 34 games last year, 5th highest in the N.L. That helped the Sox.
So pick up a mirror, pal. It's not like you got a pack of genuises over there at Commisky.
