April 29, 201114 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Apr 29, 2011 -> 02:35 PM) So we should have a three man rotation? You know, if Jake ever comes back, Phil keeps pitching like this, and Edwin keeps pitching like this...I think you do kinda lean to taking Jackson out of the rotation and trying him in the pen. That's a whole lot of If's, but we're already doing the "Where would he play" with Peavy anyway.

That's a whole lot of If's, but we're already doing the "Where would he play" with Peavy anyway. Edwin has closers stuff that is for sure. I wouldn't have a problem with him being the closer if we couldn't find anyone else, and if Peavy and Humber pitched well enough to allow it. But Edwin as closer right now? Wow.

April 29, 201114 yr QUOTE (gatnom @ Apr 29, 2011 -> 03:31 PM) He'd fit right in. So would Jeff Marquez as a starter.
April 29, 201114 yr I believe in Jackson still, but I can't help buy think how filthy he would be as a closer. He could ramp it up to 98 or 99 MPH.

April 29, 201114 yr Jackson has been on a 3 game skid, that's for sure. He isn't staying tall on his back knee for his delivery to the plate again. This was his chief issue even in growing up with the Dodgers. Hopefully it'll be straitened out and he'll begin to be nails. If not, no issue - he's gone after this year if he continues to struggle ( or re-signed at a lot less if the staff still has faith in correcting him.)

That's the last thing I want to do with a guy who, in that situation, has solidified his position as an underachiever.

April 30, 201114 yr Gavin Floyd on August 11th, 2007 First 6 starts with the White Sox (Sox 1-5 in those games, Floyd 1-2 individually) 24.3 IP, 39 H, 23 ER ERA 8.51 Edited April 30, 201114 yr by caulfield12
May 8, 201114 yr QUOTE (flavum @ May 7, 2011 -> 10:00 PM) 7 shutout innings tonight. He faced a AAA lineup in the biggest pitchers park in the majors, today doesn't count.

May 8, 201114 yr Jackson has 3 quality starts. Hudson has 5. Some people think that is a worthless stat. I don't think its too bad. Your pitcher kept you in the game at the very least.
May 8, 201114 yr If this continues to be a "taunt" thread every time each player does better than the other, I will close it. Discuss, but don't bump just to say that KW "sucks."
May 8, 201114 yr QUOTE (JorgeFabregas @ May 8, 2011 -> 12:56 AM) In that case, does Floyd's game count? Nope, but its still a much needed W for the Sox.

May 10, 201114 yr QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ May 10, 2011 -> 02:41 AM) Edwin counters w/ 7 shutout innings. If they could keep matching each other on the good side, I'd be content
June 24, 201114 yr Hey look, another quality start for Hudson. 3.58 ERA. He may be looking at an all-star appearance.
