QUOTE (bmags @ May 17, 2015 -> 04:39 PM) CARLOS! Pretty good for a utility ceiling His ceiling IMO is solid starter. I can easily see him having a 10 year career with 15-25 war. His glove will play. If he can hit 270/300/380, in today's game that's a fine 2B.

QUOTE (raBBit @ May 17, 2015 -> 04:33 PM) It's all about his slider. Once he finds it he will pitch as advertised. The pitch is a big negative until then. From reading this game thread you would have no idea the Sox were up 1-0. Always comical. Shark continues to look awful, 1-0 lead aside. "it's all about his slider" -- easier said than done. He also has s*** command on his fastball.

so a guy that can't throw a strike you swing at the 1st pitch. Thank god that Crisp sucks. He seems like a guy Ozzie would continue to play. Don't they have other options?

hanging slider. Jeff sucks right now. Getting tired of Rowand as well we don't need to hear the obvious over and over.

Danks turning a corner?
You can't compare anyone that throws 88 from the left to Buehrle. Let's see post shoulder capsule tear Danks throw 1 year with 200 innings and an era+ above 100, let alone 10 in a row. By the vast majority of metrics (just for example era, fWAR) he was bad last year. Quality starts? How about the 5+ times it was 3-0 or worse after a few innings? And to be fair, as always: helluva a comeback from what is usually a career ending injury.

seems like the staff as a hole has a hard time finishing pitches.

I love watching Carlos. What soft hands he has and he plays defense with swagger.

Danks turning a corner?
He is getting strikeouts somehow. He has piqued my interest. Maybe he can turn in a good year as the 5th guy.

I will give props where it's due: Danks has been damn good tonight and pretty good this year for the 5th starter.

QUOTE (chw42 @ May 16, 2015 -> 09:50 PM) I still don't get why Garcia didn't go to second on that wild pitch. hesitant after the play earlier, he had to read laroche and the ball and didn't.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ May 16, 2015 -> 09:10 PM) Nice play Avi. Man, if he limits the mistakes he can really be a good player. Hell he already has been a pretty good player this year and has so much more potential fwiw, his defensive value on fangraphs has improved quite a bit the last 3 or so weeks. He's now at like .3 fWAR. He's looking good!

Rowand will be TV guy this weekend
Yea he's super raw but he seems to be pretty good at giving insight into how players think. You can tell he's a guy that liked to talk to his team mates in the clubhouse and dugout. That said, as everyone mentioned, he needs practice. He needs to work on just the basics like finishing thoughts and speaking into the mic. I wouldn't mind seeing Stone take over the PbP and let Rowand do color as an tryout in 2016.
