Choo singles past Gallagher. run scores. 9-1 Tribe.

Garcia still pitching Balta?

Hafner K's swinging

Peralta grounds into a force out.

LaPorta RBI single. 10-1.

Kearns walks. Bases are loaded. Ozzie comes to see Mr. Garcia. Santos is coming in, I believe.

Woo Whooo! Anti-Ankiel!

Hernandez grounds into a force out. Inning over, Santos strands 3. 10-1 Tribe through 4.

If it's the middle of May and Freddy is 1-5, and Hudson is 5-1 in Charlotte, I don't think they'll hesitate to replace him.

 

You're kidding, right? W/L records during spring training? Freddy would have to either get hurt or go Chien-Ming Wang on us to get booted from the rotation. If Freddy can give us league average numbers (4.50 ERA, 1.30 WHIP) from the 5th slot, he'll be in the rotation.

Freddy really hasn't been very encouraging this spring. Hopefully, he'll sort it out, but i'm sure that Hudson finishing the year in the rotation (barring an A-Gone trade) is nigh inevitable.

Minny's "#1" starter gave up 12 hits in 2.2 innings just like Freddy today. It's spring training. It means absolutely nothing.

123 go the Sox in the 5th

Ok, I'm going to make this very clear....

 

Spring training statistics mean nothing for the most part. But I will say this about Freddy Garcia:

 

1) He hasn't exactly lit it up the last four years.

2) His velocity is way down. That cannot be disputed.

3) Dan Hudson is a solid prospect

 

IF---again IF---Freddy is bad (forget about the record) his first 6-8 starts, and Dan Hudson is everything he was last year his first 6-8 starts, I don't think they will hesitate to pull the plug on Freddy. If they think Hudson gives them a better chance to win, Freddy will be gone.

I know it probably means nothing but something about getting lit up that worries me. Probably Freddie more than anyone else because he just went through a long article proclaiming himslef in better shape than ever and his arm ready to go but these ST numbers are really bad. Dunno

Santos retires the tribe in the 5th...3 k's, 1 bb.

I can't believe the sox are so bad. These scrubs cannot even perform up to everyone's expectations in spring training? These players are paid to perform! Day in day out! Even when the games don't matter and the players are just trying to find their groove/work on mechanics. They are like the worst team ever. I don't even think i am gonna watch one game in the regular season. I need to find a new team that cares and performs in spring training.

And I still haven't gotten a chance to see him in actual game action.

Quentin walks. Kotsay up. Shelby will PH for Rios.

 

Kotsay pops out to Kearns on the first pitch.

Shelby pops out, inning. Going to only say really interesting stuff from here on out since the regulars are out.

123 go the Tribe off of Aquino in the 6th.

I wonder how many innings it will take before people are calling for Hudson to replace Garcia?

 

 

I saw the box score just a bit ago and wondered the same thing. What was th story with him though in todays game?

Spring Training is useful for those trying to make or stay on the team.

 

See Dolsi, Cabrerra, Santos......

 

Where is Freddy in this, nowhere but I think he could be in trouble quickly.

What you say makes sense, but also as YOU say ST is not the place to make roster change decisions. But, 6 starts into the regular season might be a time
