Smith, Schultz and McDougal are basically their only hope for awhile at top of rotation arms. They must stay in rotation. How about Vasil in rotation? Of course taylor too, although I guess Bannister & Co. have injury concerns (so I've read). Maybe try Cannon in pen?

January 2Jan 2 How about this for a thought. Typically the best path to being an effective major league starter, is to start games as much as possible. Are there exceptions? Sure. Are most starters brought to the majors as starters? Also yes.

He's always been a good bit better against righties than lefties.

People discount or fail to pay attention to the psychological aspect of these kids at this point in their career. If they feel they stall, where they should be continuing to advance, it 100 percent has a role in their development. I think this was certainly the case with Colson. Everyone is so obsessed with numbers and peripherals that the head is ignored. I think with the talent of these two specifically they could just come up and take right off. I hope you are right but I think that is wishful thinking. The American leauge is not a developemental league.
April 28Apr 28 Author The Sox could desperately use some bullpen help. The division is pretty bad. I don't think competing is out of the question. Maybe we see this happen soon.

The Sox showed they are serious about competing this year by signing Murakami. The AL Central is typically a joke, and since this is baseball after all, anything can happen. The team has a plethora of young talent and it wouldn't be surprising if they competed for the division. Should we give Hagen the Sale/Crochet treatment and let him develop while he dominates in the bullpen? That would surely bolster our bullpen. I'm not sure if the new front office is gutsy enough to do it. Maybe with a little pressure from Jerry to try and compete they would do it. Well just for fun, as of this morning 4/28 our Sox are the only team in the division with a winning record in the last 10 games. 3 games out of first.
2 hours ago2 hr Author WELL WELL. What do ya know? Looks like Ron is totally vindicated once again. Once regarding calling that the Sox would be competing, and again for calling that they'd bring Hagen Smith up in the bullpen.
