Trade for Scott Shields or WAshburn

No Washburn.

What ever happened to Josh Stewart?

What ever happened to Josh Stewart?

I remember him being injured at the end of the year last year - did he recover from that yet?

I would really like to keep the pen how it is now. It is working and only getting better. As far as a 5th starter one isn't needed for about another month. when that time comes, if Diaz is still putting up the numbers, he needs a shot. Who knows. It can't get any worse the Wright. I don't want to see Cotts get out there and not perform and lose confidence. He will be a solid starter some day but not right now. He is gaining more and more confidence.

I would say Cotts

I read on Sox.com Grili or Diaz might be 5th starter

Stewart is pitching for AAA Charlotte.

I'm curious to see what kind of pitcher Diaz is. So I'd enjoy seeing him, that is if he does well.

I'm gonna have to go with Cotts on this one.  Cotts has been displaying outstanding poise out on the mound this year and has the "I WILL get this guy out" mentality instead of the "we'll see If I get this guy out" kind of mentality, which is evident in his pitching.  He's clearly comfortable out there.  Bring Wunsch up to the pen when he's ready and allow Cotts the chance.

Not to mention the hot Cotts thing.

Don't mention it.

Wills was talking about this one...he said forget about bringing Wunsch up until he could prove something...Wills says a lot of things

5/4 PITCHING LINES

Rauch with 5 walks and no runs scored. Damn that looks like DuBose's line.

It would be the most walks he's given up this season so far I think, he's been pretty good on the K/BB ratio but his ERA needs a little improvin.

5/6 PITCHING LINES, DANNY GOT BLASTED, YOUCH!

What's the line on Josh Stewart? Has he pitched well this season so far?

No idea, but I want him in there rather than Danny Wright.

5/5 PITCHING LINES

Bull

Cotts no, to good in the pen.

 

Adkins no, again.

 

Daiz yes!

With that I think we can say Wright won't be back up. Ozzie already said that Cotts is NOT going to be the 5th starter. I think it'll be Diaz now.

Can Rauch be sent back down if he does not cut it? I think he would be the first guy because he has experience and there would be no debut nerves. If he is out of options though they be reluctant if he were not the clear choice.

I want to see Stewart back up here. The kid showed potential before his hand injury. Although others see differently, scouts at the baseball games have recently said that they have been scouting him over Diaz because he is a good gamble. Bring Diaz up as well.
