Chisoxfn Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 I'm assuming the Sox are going to make an acquistion, whether via free agency or trade, to add another starter. But if for whatever reason they don't I think Nomo could be a pretty good guy to look at. This past season he was awful, but he also pitched hurt the entire year. Just look at his previous two seasons and he put up dynamite numbers. A 3.09 ERA in 2003 as well as roughly 220 innings and far fewer hits. Really good periphals as well. I'm assuming he's just looking for a shot at making a club. 2003 16-13, 3.09 ERA, 218.1 INN, 175 H, 177 K, 24 HR 2002 16-6, 3.39 ERA, 220.1 INN, 189 H, 193 K, 26 HR Just to make note this was the first time I can remember him having any type of injury that truly hampered him. Dodgers execs said he pitched through his injury most of the way this year because its not his way to make mention of pain. I think its kind of one of those things Japanes pitchers are expected to do in Japan (pitch through pain). He's 36 years old and hasn't lived on velocity in a long time. If he's around 88 MPH he'll put up at least good numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwerty Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 If signed a minor league contract other wise no thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshPR Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 And in 2004 he got Murderd. Doesn't have anything on the fastball and he pitched in pitchers paradise and still got hit hard. NO THANKS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punch and Judy Garland Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 I'd give him a one-year major league deal worth 750 K plus incentives. When right, he's a terrific pitcher. I would imagine the Sox docs would get a good look at his shoulder as a prerequisite. I wonder if Shingo would be excited? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackie hayes Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 I've always liked Nomo, so I wouldn't mind giving it a whirl, but he's just a question mark for now. Plus he probably throws too many fb for the Cell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
