And neither did Kevin Walker last season, but Ozzie really wants to have two lefties in the bullpen.  You're right though, I don't want any pitchers who aren't MLB caliber on the roster just cause they throw lefty.

 

You can carry five lefties if you want, but, if only one has proven he can consistently get out major league talent, the other four are useless. I realize we are in a good spot if this is our chief-concern, but, I'm just not on-board for carrying the second lefty if he is simply a glorified pitching machine.

 

It's early and there's still hope that one of these "pitchers" can catch fire and put it all together, but, I have confidence in Williams, Cooper, Guillen, etc. that they won't carry the second lefty just for the sake of having that second lefty. If all else fails, just enter the season with Cotts and take it from there...don't force this.

I'm sure Ozzie and Coop are thinking the same way. They're not gonna have some unproven guy with an era over 6 on the team simply because he throws with his lefthand. It's been almost a week since the exhibition season started and atleast one guy has stepped up and made people take notice.

I remember. I'm assuming they've learned their lesson.

IT'S TIME: Pitching prospect Boone Logan, who caught the attention of the Sox' staff in Sunday's intrasquad game, is tentatively scheduled to make his Cactus League debut Wednesday against the Los Angeles Angels. The left-hander will be used out of the bullpen.

I haven't looked at the numbers lately, but wasn't Cliff our best LOOGy last year?

Quick question.                                                                                              Does Ozzie have something against Munoz, or has he pre-determined that he just cant help the big club?

 

I'm pretty sure Ozzie said something around Soxfest that Munoz didn't have any guts, although I think he actually said balls.

Wouldn't Fabio Castro be interesting right about now?

2.1IP 3H 1BB 1K 1HR 3.86ERA -- so far this spring for Texas. He's still an option, because if he doesn't stick with Texas for the whole year, he's ours for just $25K
