Chris Getz does what he does best and gets on base via a walk.

The same can be said for Blum (agruably, since those games were in Houston), Everett (no other DH option), Rowand, El Duque (arguably, you never know what happens in that Boston series if he doesn't perform his magic), Thomas (the team was at its best when he played) etc. etc. etc.

 

Give me a break. Remember when Buehrle, Garland and Garcia all started pitching like s*** at the same time? Guess who was the only one to step up? We're not even in the playoffs without Jose. And he was our best pitcher in the playoffs as well.

Correction: the team was at its best in the playoffs...without Frank. I have no point. Just sayin.

That's why we're not General Managers. You can't get caught up on what they did for you last season. You need to take into account where they're at in their age, what position they plug for you, and how their salary effects your team. I'm happy we still have Contreras, but I think the organization would be greatly disappointed if he had 13 wins with a 4.5 ERA this yr.

These players are a lot easier to replace than a guy who was your ace at the end of the season. Think of it this way, by not trading Contreras and if you do let him leave via free agency, that will free up money to acquire adequate replacements. Trading him for relief pitching unless its for a sure-fire closer makes no sense.

At least someone gets it

I think everybody would be really dissapointed if that happened. I also don't believe there is a very good chance that that will happen.

Pedro Felix homers. 13-6 Giants.

 

Who's the bum pitching?

At least the Sox have a lot of options if Kevin Hickey is unable to pitch batting practice for any reason.

scouts say it's the deepest batting practice rotation in baseball...

Is this Almanza pitching?

Well, if you consider this pitching...yes.

WOOOO.....I CALLED IT...AND GOT IT.

LOL, pathetic. I'm onboard with quickman. Trade all of our minor leaguers. Hehe.

LOL. He gone.

 

He was gone before this game though.

This was just an invitee though. Not a system guy.

 

LOL. Seriously. NOW they should just call the game.

I was just joking anyways, hehe. Quickman is becoming my favorite poster. I wish he was here. I would love to hear what he has to say about these guys.

we can still come back....we got three outs left.

From the looks of it, we are now letting fans pitch. The guy they just brought in is built like a 12 year old girl.

Almanza probably needs to look into a new career. I hope the Sox don't waste everybody's time and send him to the minors. Just release him.

Agreed. Keep Boone Logan on our roster as the LOOGY and keep Javier Lopez at Charlotte as LOOGY insurance. That's good enough. I don't want these scrubs jinxing our minor league teams.
