I would have liked to have him on the Sox.

that makes 2 of us. but then again, Stanton has been pretty bad this year

Yeah his high era is nothing special to want but he would have been nice insurance. Put it this way, with Marte out, Stanton > Walker.

What?  El Duque has hit 90 one time that i can recall. He has been 80-87 with his fastball most of the time, and he hasnt been able to spot his changeup, curve or slider, resulting in his 2 and 4 seamers getting crushed.

 

I like El Duque, but he has not shown much this season (durability and recent performance) to warrant my undying faith in him during the second half. If he is shipped to the bully because a trade is made, I will not cry about it,  thats for sure.

And despite that 2005 weakness he is still sporting 7W, 2L, in 11GS. Do you now many pitchers would kill for a record like that after 11 starts?

 

First 5GS, 3W, 1L 2.70E, 30IP, 1.63WHIP - there weren't too many complaints then.

Next 3GS, 2W, 0L 6.19E, 16IP, 1.69WHIP - signs of something wrong

Next 3GS, 2W, 1L 7.56E, 17IP, 1.56WHIP - signs of it getting worse

Yet even when he was laboring through undisclosed pain he still managed to post a 4-1 record.

 

Who is more likely to go 7-2 over his next 11 starts:

El Duque, Burnett, or Schmidt? El Duque. It might be ugly but he wins far more often than he losses.

Yeah, but frighteningly, it's not Stanton>>>>>>Walker.

It's called luck. he was getting an assload of run support that any pitcher would cream of. To go 4-1 with a combined ERA of 6.85 over a 6 game stretch is just damn lucky. that is all!

Not only that, but he was killing our bullpen!

I cannot disagree with this more. Im not going to start a numbers discussion, I will just state that I disagree.

Actually it's Stanton 8===D ~ ~ ~ Walker

You can't beat Juggs in a numebrs discussion. He will simply make up stats that are all too real to devour you in an argument.

I know your a big stat guy and all, but cmon man... everyone knows that the W stat is the least telling of all.

A.J. Burnett, Marlins

His last few starts have been erratic, but he's mowing down hitters and intriguing a lot of clubs. He's a free agent after the season, so the Marlins figure they're better off getting something for a quality pitcher -- when healthy -- who will price himself out of their budget next year.

Potential Suitors: White Sox, Orioles, Yankees

I wonder how many more times this will be posted today in a similar form? lol

My guess is 8,763.2 It's just a guestimate.

I hope we can get Burnett or another great pitcher real soon. getting tired of all these rumors

yeah, but he's still the best option out there.

Damn it, KW better make a move today or tomorrow. Without any games on, I have nothing at all to talk about all day long at work. Get your ass in gear, KW.

Do you guys think a trade will happen very soon? I do. Who will be the 4 starters vs the tribe? THey said el-duque won't pitch vs the tribe. Are his shoulder problems worse than we think? And if it is- KW should be on high alert to get a starter ASAP. If the Marlins want Marte, thats fine- do what it takes to get Burnett over here.

Smokin' in the boys' room?

i sure hope a deal is coming soon but who knows with kw. he is known to make a deal or two well before the deadline so heres to hoping!
