I really don't care what Lidge looks like at the moment, I've seen that guy absolutely dominate a better NL in the past especially when he was in the setup role to Dotel and when he was in the 7th inning role to Wagner. I'd take him in a heartbeat.

It's easy to say now that Contreras re-signed.

Haven't been a fan of his even before his godawful postseason.

I agree if we werent able to resign him. Obviously now it would look pretty stupid.

 

BTW, that wasnt a smart ass remark like your a idiot for thinking that, I was just wondering what your current view was...

 

No, it's a very good question. I've seen Lidge pitch, and it's a total confidence issue with him. He seems scared of the bat.

Nice to see Vazquez hold on to the ball. I hope Garland was taking notes.

We got Ichiro out!

Javier should show Jon how to toss the come backer to Konerko

sox pwning, as usual

We retired Ichiro! *gasp*

Minus a couple innings vs the Jays, he looks awesome so far this year. KW looking like a genious again.

What were his #s last year while you are lookin at his page?

BTW, Did you/do you go to Purdue?

Racking up most of those numbers against a terrible division IMO.

What were his #s last year while you are lookin at his page?

70.2 IP, 103 K, 2.29 ERA 1.14 WHIP, 42 SV

 

in his first full season as closer.

Vazquez is looking pretty good

Crappy division should be evened out by the short porch in LF he has to pitch with.

Time to f*** up some rookie pitching.

Racking up most of those numbers against a terrible division IMO.

The Cardinals won 105 games and the Cubs 89. It was the best division in the NL that year.

I think a 1.14 WHIP is a bit high for an elite closer. Thats like putting a man on every time you come out for the 9th. Hmmm.

Javy's 4:20 BB/K rate is pretty exciting.

What are your thoughts on Bobby Jenks?

Come on, give Jimmy something to crank!

What are your thoughts on Bobby Jenks?

 

I don't put Bobby Jenks anywhere near the elite closers at this point in his career. Not at all.

Mariano Rivera = 1.048 career whip

 

that's a baserunner an inning as well.

 

 

BTW, Did you/do you go to Purdue?

 

 

 

Did... graduated just about 2 years ago now.
