Yay?

UH?

Had to know he would. They won't rush Hudson . He's already jumped from A to AAA this year.Garcia's sole purpose was to get major league ready and he's done well at AAA.

We're gonna party like it's 2005....

There's a part of me that won't be completely happy until every last member of the 2005 White Sox team has retired.

 

Here's a player many of us wanted gone, hopefully to never return (unless he injected himself with HGH and found a fastball), and now he's back here. Awesome. I think we can be assured of the following:

 

1. Sweatiness

2. Steady diet of 87 mph fastballs. Maybe 90 if he's reaching back

3. Steady diet of floating breaking balls

4. Guillen leaving him out way too long because Garcia, not him, decides when enough is enough.

 

If he can throw in the high 80s consistently, he could be better than Jose.

Make sure someone tells Freddy how "big" the game on Tuesday really is...

Definitely a guy from 2005 that I expect to see on "the list".

Worth a shot. I'm for it.

I like this move. Freddy's no long-term option, but he was still able to get guys out with his junkball stuff in late '06. He could be a halfway decent #5 option for the next month and a half.

For puffin the magic dragon?

Wow.

I hope Freddy pitches for us like he did in that one game against us late last year.

Wasn't he darn good for six innings or so?

You think there's ANY chance Freddy can give us quality starts?

If not, I think Hudson was the guy. Or the pitcher by committee thing which worked the only time we tried it with Carrasco starting.

I truly expect Freddy to just bomb.. I just don't see how he has anything left. I HOPE he doesn't and he proves me (and many others wrong), but I'm not counting on it.

 

Go Freddy.. I guess.

Oh, you expect the Sox to fail? Go figure

5. Opposing base stealers going crazy.

 

But mark me down as a Freddy fan. I hope he has enough arm, to go with that savvy, to get something done out there.

Lawl.

I think people forget that Freddy is only 33...He's not 43. It is possible he could have a few more years ahead of him...

If he wants to continue his career, he better be Big Game Freddy. This may be his last chance.

The Royals aren't a good team and Tuesday probably isn't a big game.

 

But Freddy will still be sweaty!

Hoo boy. Go get 'em Freddy!

If Freddy doesn't do so well on Tuesday, does anybody else think we see Hudson in a sox uniform this year, perhaps replacing Contreras once Peavy returns?
