Balta1701 Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 05:17 PM) I've gained some confidence in Freddy as of late, especially because with his loss in velocity he's developed a superior changeup. So if he could find that extra 3 MPH he could come back more dominate than ever. I wouldn't have any problem moving Jose because I think someone would give up stuff as if they were getting an ace and they may very well be. I even wouldn't have a problem moving Buehrle if the right offer came along because we are going to be due to pay him a huge chunk a year from than. That said I don't see why Buehrle couldn't turn things around. Javy is just all over the place so who knows, we'll see what happens but it may determine things. The more I think about it the more I don't think I'd be stunned if nearly our entire rotation stuck around, that said I wouldn't be stunned if we changed 3 starters either. I would like to see 2 pitchers turnover. I would like to see Buehrle, Garland, and Contreras back, with McCarthy in the rotation, and Vazquez, Garcia, Podsednik and Fields used to try to fill in the 1 bullpen spot, 1 additional starting pitching slot, and Left Field. I think the odds are that Buehrle, Garland, and Contreras are guys that next year, you'll still want on your pitching staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankensteiner Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 QUOTE(fathom @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 07:16 PM) Buehrle has a ton of value, trust me. If Buehrle was on the market right now, would you give up McCarthy for him? I don't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt he or AJ are calling for pitches down the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rishard101 Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 Ozzie's philosophy is to leave the starter in until he gives up at least 5 runs and then pull him b/c he is saving the pen for the stretch run. Well Ozzie the stretch run is now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted August 27, 2006 Author Share Posted August 27, 2006 When was the last time that Jose threw a forball that broke in the dirt wuth 2 strikes on a guy? Does Sandy know that is his K pitch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilliamTell Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 1 down, this is where the Twins are at their best, they get that runner from 3rd in with less than 2 outs, or even with 2 outs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 QUOTE(Frankensteiner @ Aug 26, 2006 -> 05:18 PM) I agree with you about Contreras and Garland. I think they'll be solid next year. But Buehrle? He has to perform at the end of the year for me to confident he can be good again next year. I don't believe anyone can assume he'll automatically return to his pre-2006 form next season. Mark Buehrle is not like Garcia in that he hasn't lost much in the way of velocity. He just hasn't had his usual bite on his pitchers. He's still just as smart of a pitcher as the guy we had last year, he was even pretty darn good at the start of this year, but he went through a real rough period starting with that Cubs game, and neither Cooper nor Ozzie did anything to help him get out of it. Before that game with the Cubs, Mark's ERA was still down around 3.2. He still has it in him, he just hasn't gotten a good groove at all this season.

Rishard101 Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 I'm just tormenting you guys seeing who the true believers are. Don't worry the Sox will win this one 7-6 scoring 3 in the 8th, on their way to winning the division. Detroit will also lose 5-4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
