May 4, 200916 yr Jose Contreras is guaranteed just one more start, according to manager Ozzie Guillen. Contreras, 0-4 with a 8.31 ERA, will pitch Thursday against the Tigers. If he struggles once again, he will be kicked to the bullpen. But at this point, there isn't a clear choice to replace him in the rotation. Clayton Richard is an option, but not a great one. Stay tuned
May 4, 200916 yr Hi, my name is Aaron Poreda. You may remember me from such films as i'm a top prospect, who almost made the team in spring, who just threw a five-inning no-hitter, and is a Lefty who tops out at 97. Sooner the kid perfects that slider, the sooner we can get him up here. He's working with Perdew, Correct?

May 5, 200916 yr QUOTE (Kalapse @ May 4, 2009 -> 08:04 PM) Catfish threw a chicken slider, best I ever seen. Well the chicken slider era was totally different than the non-chicken slider era. Truly, one of baseball's lost arts.
May 5, 200916 yr Clayton Richard would be the replacement starter, especially after a solid outing tonight.
May 5, 200916 yr I was going to say...Carlos Torres. His ERA is 0.96. I'd give him a shot. They have room on the 40-man. He's earned a chance.
May 5, 200916 yr QUOTE (elrockinMT @ May 4, 2009 -> 07:10 PM) Sox sign Pedro Martinez (maybe?) Can he hit?
May 5, 200916 yr Contreras could be dominant, and it wouldnt matter with the cesspool of has-beens and never-will-be's we are running out in CF and RF.
May 5, 200916 yr He could be dominant, but he sucks. Thats why we have a thread discussing replacement options.

May 5, 200916 yr QUOTE (earthshiner @ May 4, 2009 -> 08:45 PM) knowing this organization, we'll see Garcia here by the end of the week. ^^^^^^^^^
May 5, 200916 yr QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ May 5, 2009 -> 01:38 PM) ESPN insider reporting that the Sox have talked to Pedro... I don't know about stuff, but his personality would be a perfect in our clubhouse. As long as he doesn't hit .219... Edited May 5, 200916 yr by Thunderbolt
May 5, 200916 yr good one more start than I don't have see contreas pitch again. But, don't worry like jerry owens and mike macdougal Ozzie will let contreas start again after he's demoted claiming this contreas I know that is good
May 5, 200916 yr QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ May 5, 2009 -> 03:31 AM) CF though... KW should have predicted his 2 top CF options would both suffer completely random injuries in the first month of the season.
