southsider2k5 Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Geesh. Petricka and Putnam are both glass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lip Man 1 Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 Petricka back to the DL with a right elbow strain (a/k/a inflamed ERA). Petricka like Putnam should be done and gone with the White Sox. Unreliable, can't stay healthy, mediocre pitchers and a waste of future payroll. Time to move on...past time actually....and you can make that claim for about a half dozen other stiffs in the organization. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmags Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 The weirdest strategy sox have had was when we collected a bunch of low k, groundball relievers and put a pretty bad defense behind them. Glad that's over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't matter now...you can stick a fork in both of them because they are done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't matter now...you can stick a fork in both of them because they are done. Putnam was excellent his first season with Sox...that splitter/forkball/sinker was UNhittable even when you knew it was coming in at the low 80's.

Bob Sacamano Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 29, 2017 -> 02:04 PM) Wish we had traded Petricka and Putnam when we had the chance. When exactly was that chance? They were both hurt most of last season with limited value in off-season (also due to injury history) and both have barely pitched this season.

witesoxfan Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Putnam's arm is held together with gum and paperclips, but he's a great reliever when he's the mound. Petricka has never really impressed me. Decent velocity, ball moves a bit, but it's nothing special. He has the look of a run of the mill AAAA reliever. Maybe I'm wrong on that.

Petricka is not done. A half season of good baseball does not a career make. Like with Avi we'll see about Kahnle (who's ERA is now up in the three's. Still good...but not what it was) And I seriously doubt even the rebuilding White Sox are going to waste money on a pitcher who can't pitch (Petricka) because the guy CAN'T STAY HEALTHY.

Jose Abreu Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Petricka was fantastic in 2014, at least give him that. He was really all we had out of the pen that year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
