May 17, 200421 yr He has 6 quality starts, which is equal to anyone in the American League. So we get a guy whose #'s are better than Bartolo and is $12 million less.
May 17, 200421 yr Bartolo Colon - 2004 Salary: $11,000,000 Scott Schoeneweis - 2004 Salary: $1,725,000 More like $9.275 MIL
May 17, 200421 yr That's the beauty of Baseball. Who would have thought Micheal Young is better than A-Rod right now
May 17, 200421 yr Schoe is suprising me a lot. I thought he would only be able to get like 5 innings a game in and an era of around 4.50. He is surpasing my expectations big time. Great job Scott!
May 17, 200421 yr Thats surprising considering how many people were worried about him starting this year..... myself included. Go figure......
May 17, 200421 yr I sure hope he can. He does have some good stuff out there this year. Hopefully he will be this years Loaiza.
May 17, 200421 yr I sure hope he can. He does have some good stuff out there this year. Hopefully he will be this years Loaiza. exactly what im thinking
May 17, 200421 yr I sure hope he can. He does have some good stuff out there this year. Hopefully he will be this years Loaiza. If anything, he should be thanking Loaiza. Loaiza showed Shoey the cutter he uses which brought him success last year. Shoey will have some good numbers by the time this year is over. Book it.
May 17, 200421 yr I think he can. There's no reason he can't continue pitching like this if he avoids injury. I'm so glad the fans don't have much of a say in what the club does. There were a few of us who supported Scho during ST, when he was trying to add another pitch to his bag of tricks. We all just looked at that 502335.42 ERA and thought he didn't deserve a chance. He's good for this team; how long do we have him for? I hope we re-sign him when this contract is up.
May 17, 200421 yr I believe he is signed for two years? Maybe not, I just know they barely resigned him at the last minute. Stupid me, I was kinda angry when they resigned him.
May 17, 200421 yr I believe he is signed for two years? Maybe not, I just know they barely resigned him at the last minute. Stupid me, I was kinda angry when they resigned him. What happened to '04?
May 17, 200421 yr how long do we have him for? I hope we re-sign him when this contract is up. Shoey is signed for just this year, and I hope we don't resign him. Considering the young pitchers we have for next year (Cotts will be ready and Diaz is showing promise) we don't need him (only for bullpen help if he's willing) I'd rather resign Loaiza.
May 17, 200421 yr What happened to '04? That's what I said yest. Cheat. BTW, you spelled LoAIza wrong.
May 17, 200421 yr That's what I said yest. Cheat. BTW, you spelled LoAIza wrong. I did that last night, while I was drunk -- I didn't read much yesterday.
May 17, 200421 yr And Coop kept saying before this season that Scott would be "this year's Loaiza". Why can't Loaiza still be this year's Loaiza too?? And why can't he teach some other pitchers that same cutter that seems to be so dominant?? No one notices it but this starting rotation 1-4 has been one of the most consistent in the past season or two. Strikeouts are sexy and we just don't strike many people out so most people just assume our rotation sucks.
May 17, 200421 yr we just don't strike many people out so most people just assume our rotation sucks. First of all, Loaiza led the league in strike outs last year. Just an FYI Secondly, I am not sure people think our rotation sucks. They just don't consider our rotation a top 3 or top 5 rotation in the league, and I can understand that. Finally, I would say do not give all the credit to the pitchers. Sure they are good, but give some credit to the catchers for calling good games. Olivo and Alomar have been very good in that regard the past two years. And give some credit to Don Cooper. I'm sure he's had something to do with their success.
May 17, 200421 yr I did that last night, while I was drunk -- I didn't read much yesterday. drunk posts, see mine in the photo forum.

May 17, 200421 yr but loaiza is not striking out nearly as mant people as last year if u look at the numbers You are right. It was an FYI. I was not in any way trying to hurt any argument. As another FYI...Buehrle had 7 strikeouts today in 6 2/3 innings. I guarantee you that you won't see him strike out 9+ per 9 very often.

Strikeouts are sexy and we just don't strike many people out so most people just assume our rotation sucks. During yesterdays telecast on FSN they flashed a graphic about quality starts -- The Cubs lead the Majors in QS's the past two seasons(2003 & 2004), Yet surprisingly in second was the Sox.

I guarantee you that you won't see him strike out 9+ per 9 very often. when u said that he led the league in strikeouts last year i just want to clarify that he was not up to the same pace because people may have interpreted it as he was doing the same this year as last sorry
