July 24, 200619 yr Mac will be the long guy (although I'm not much of a Riske fan, especially as of late) unless Kenny gets blown away in a deal or one of our starters gets hurt. Next year Mac will join the rotation.

Next year Mac will join the rotation. With MacDougal in the mix, we can use Riske in the 6th and 7th inning more. He seems to do better there. I really like our 'pen now. It could end up being better than last year's.
July 25, 200619 yr The White Sox don't need a long man. McCarthy and Riske are both capable of going multiple innings, and McCarthy has shown he can go 2+ on occasion.
July 25, 200619 yr Heath Phillips. It's not as fun, but it's better than giving up more friggin prospects.

Sure McCarthy's capable of doing that, but Ozzie won't let him unless the games in extras.

July 26, 200619 yr With Ozzie's style of managing, a long reliever is pointless. He's not the type of manager to pull a starting pitcher in the 5th or 6th inning. We've added a lot of depth to our bullpen lately, and unless McCarthy is moved into the rotation, there's no reason to add a long man.
