Gene Honda Civic Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 If anyone else can't figure some of these, here is a thread from way back where gash made a couple posts that were, to put quite simply, interesting. Linky PS - Just so you can prepare yourself...one of the posts involves Cleveland Steamers and those types of things The last post of that thread made me do a spit take.

BrandoFan Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 Once again........ What kind of injury did he sustain last year? Any lasting effect? Here are his numbers from March 1 through May 23 (including thin Arizona air): 25 innings....7 hits....7 walks....27 K.....0.00 ERA Basically untouchable when healthy. Just sick. People cry about "wasting" a roster spot.....Hey, guess what? If RH's can't touch Shingo and LH's can't touch Wunsch.....who cares if they only end up pitching 40 innings each. If Sox are to have a two-headed flame throwing closer in Politte and Marte, why not have a two-headed junkballer set-up man? Is it THAT much more important to have AAAA Gload or AAAA Burke on the bench than a dominant specialist? What is it about the bullpen we currently have that says "Wunsch is expendable"? Cotts might find himself in the rotation and Munoz might not be ready.....What do you do then? It's simple: When 100% healthy, Wunsch is too cheap and has too much value to the Sox. When he is hurt/not pitching well, he's go little value to other teams, so don't expect much in return. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well said. Personally, I'd like to have a 1-headed closer closing for us(say Ugueth Urbina), but Politte-Marte works well for me. I'm fine with a pen of Cotts, Wunsch, Shingo, Jackson, Marte, Politte, and Koch. Having 3 lefties looks like it could reap benefits, especially if we need to get to the pen early and a team has some good lefties in it(for instance, the Yankees, or even the A's with Chavez, Durazo, Hatteberg...hell, it would even by nice for the Twins with Koskie, Jones, and Mientkiewicz). And if necessary, adjustments can be made. Personally, I say Gload is as close to being a necessity on the bench as anyone. We NEED a solid lefty bat off the bench, even if Gload is not the best LH power hitter off the bench in the AL Central. I'd really like to get a good LH hitter via trade, but that can wait for now, I suppose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
