Or I see us opening with NewcombNewcomb as an opener this year: 10.2 IP 0.84 ERA, 1.79 FIP, 0.75 WHIP. Use him to get through Yordan and let Sandlin or Fedde get innings 2-4/5.

There's an old thread specifically discussing which SoxTalk posters could theoretically have their own talk shows, and caulfield himself starts casting various posters in different roles.His particular superpower is:Nobody asked for a 700-word explanation of the implications of something.Caulfield has already written it.And there will probably be a reference to something happening in Europe.SoxTalk role: The guy who somehow knows the political situation in Finland, the ownership structure of the Twins, and what happened to a 2004 White Sox prospect.That's why Benetti and I would get along so well...Civil War buffs. Instead of going to Disneyland/World or Hawaii, my dad instead brought me to 12 major battlefields and places like Arlington Cemetery while growing up.A further irony is travelling/living around the world when neither of my parents ever possessed a US passport.

The bullpen started to get better once guys like Hagen and Hicks stopped walking so many guys.My post was to pitch in Sundays game. I agree none of those guys make playoff roster Edited 37 minutes ago37 min by Buehrle>Wood
