October 6, 200916 yr I have lightened up on Rios and I hate former Royals pitchers. I've admitted I was wrong on Carrasco and that he is outstanding in the role he has. Certainly you do not want him in an expanded role to where he takes over Thornton's role when Thornton becomes the closer?

October 6, 200916 yr I didn't mean to say that is what you inferred. I'm saying Carrasco was great in his role and a valuable member of the team. I admitted I was wrong on Carrasco but not wrong on any other of the former KC relievers who sucked with the Sox.

So yes, you were wrong there too And whats the point of this fantasy scenario where Thornton is closer and Carrasco is his setup? Does it further your point about Dye?

October 6, 200916 yr Dotel was not fine. Dotel is way overpaid. Some nights he had it, many he didn't and completely sucked. He's not reliable and I hope he is shipped out. The Royals actually should sign Dye and Thome both. But they are too cheap. Edited October 6, 200916 yr by greg775

October 6, 200916 yr His numbers say he was fine. More than fine last year. A little less than fine this year, but solid nonetheless He definitely was part of the problem of what was a horrible bullpen the second half.
October 6, 200916 yr Sure he was. He still didnt suck in 2009, far from it. Mediocre, yes. But he didnt suck
