April 12, 200322 yr man, what a great pickup by KW. once wright comes back and/or garland gets it going, our rotation has to be second in the AL. Also, what kind of stuff does he throw? I havent got to watch him yet
April 12, 200322 yr I haven't gotten to see him yet either but it sounds like he's been awesome. How'd we get this guy and what is his best pitch?? We are on a roll as a team. Nice.
April 12, 200322 yr fastball touches 95, good breaking stuff. Noone has ever questioned his stuff, he has just always been to damn inconsistent...win one lose one win one lose won...maybe this is the year he puts it all together
April 12, 200322 yr in his next start loaiza gets to make his debut against a real major league team Yes, as much as I want to praise Esteban for being an excellent pitcher and 2 very excellent outings, I am reserved about it because it was the Tigers.
April 12, 200322 yr Esteban developed a changeup this offseason. This has added a new dimension to his pitching game where normally people were able to sit on his fastball I think. Also he pitched in Texas which tends to play like a bandbox. I always thought Loaiza had good stuff but this changeup allows him to have dominant outings going 3-4 times through a batting order without getting lit up.
April 12, 200322 yr Esteban lost some of his velocity, his fastball now tops out at about 91-92 (mixes speeds well), but he's developed a pretty damn good changeup. He also throws a slider that hit 84-86 mph. So far he's show unbelievable control, but it's doubtful he can keep it up. With the Sox's offense and the fact that he's been a good vs. other AL central teams means he could be a 15 game winner.
April 12, 200322 yr Loaiza might be a one year wonder for us. I believe that the option we have for next year is at a pretty hefty price -- $ 3 Million or so. Can't remember for sure. If he wins 15 or so this year, he will present an interesting dilemma to the brass.
April 12, 200322 yr if wright does need to go down for surgery at any point i dont see any dilema here... dump wright and keep loz......hes awesome..........
April 12, 200322 yr Jerry Manuel is a Mule I swear. You got a guy pitching a 2 hit shutout with a 5-0 lead and he doesn't let him finish. And even more dumb he brings in Koch!! WHY!! Do you want to over use him??? If your going to take out Loaiza, Bring in Wunsch or White or Somebody who hasn't pitched ina few days and keep them sharp... MANUEL!!!! dUH!!!
April 12, 200322 yr Koch pitches better when he's "over used", i hate Manuel, but anyone who's seen Koch pitch in the past knows you have to give him a lot of innings.
April 12, 200322 yr Hye I wanna join your Club... Still why don't ya let Loaiza Finish buehrle said the same thing the other day.. he wanted to finish too.....jm loves to use up that pen though..........
April 12, 200322 yr Manuel Pi&@*@ me off. He needs to go. I think Armando Rios sould start tommorow For Lee.
April 12, 200322 yr Manuel Pi&@*@ me off. He needs to go. I think Armando Rios sould start tommorow For Lee. id put rios in each and every day for dumbass lee..............no contest there.........
April 12, 200322 yr Rios is a good Hitter if given the At Bats. He hustles and plays hard too. I'm kinda growing sick of waiting for Lee
April 12, 200322 yr if wright does need to go down for surgery at any point i dont see any dilema here... dump wright and keep loz......hes awesome.......... U gotta be kidding. Loaiza is doin well but he's 31 or 32. Wright is 24 and has nothing but upside. In 3 or 4 years Loaiza will be outta the league and Wright will be a consistent 15-20 gm winner.....
April 12, 200322 yr Rios is a good Hitter if given the At Bats. He hustles and plays hard too. I'm kinda growing sick of waiting for Lee but this is his break out year.........honest it is.......... lol

April 12, 200322 yr I know what you mean bout Detroit, but hey I'm glad we're taking care of business against the crap teams. We can't get swept by the Royals next time.
