Balta1701 Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 QUOTE (kapzk @ Jun 17, 2011 -> 11:50 PM) So what happens next year.. does Sale make a direct jump into the starting rotation? If the team is hoping to contend I don't see how he can. If we throw in the towel and rebuild, ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Out of everyone on the team I think Sale has been my biggest disappointment this year. I was a huge fan but now have doubts about how his stuff will work as a starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleHurt05 Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 QUOTE (greg775 @ Jun 17, 2011 -> 10:47 PM) I was gonna say, good pitchers like Hudson give up solo home runs. Solo home runs simply don't matter. Â I concur. Cuddyer's solo home run yesterday didn't matter one bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Ha, only if we want to shut him down after 140 innings, while he gets hammered in the meantime. I got grilled for saying Sale NEEDED to be starting in the minors THIS YEAR, but alas, I was in the minority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winninguglyin83 Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 18, 2011 -> 04:48 AM) If I could ask KW one question it would be what exactly did his big board show his rotation would be in 2012 when he was thinking of making the Hudson trade. Kinda ironic that Dunn was the player we were trying to get. Â Dunn is the player we HAD to have -- and he can't even get on the field in NL parks at $14 million. Â Against a right-handed pitcher. Â That's on KW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Which is what I just said "ok" at the end. I thought about being mad, but then I realized it really does not even matter. It's not like Dunn is hitting .250 with 15-16 HR.

caulfield12 Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 That just bought Juan Pierre another 5-10 more games of starts. Â Like the Minnesota series, those early blown opportunities with runners on base and in scoring position in the early innings killed us. Konerko's ball goes out for the 3-2 lead...or Quentin hits a double, totally different story. Â But you can say that for 65% of Sox games this season.

I was a huge fan but now have doubts about how his stuff will work as a starter. This is what was bound to happen with him starting the year against the best and not having to earn the spot. Never had the innings to work on a consistent release point and to find his control groove. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigHurt Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Dunn is the player we HAD to have -- and he can't even get on the field in NL parks at $14 million. Against a right-handed pitcher.  That's on KW.  The guy consistently hits well his entire career. We sign him and all of a sudden he doesn't hit. Yeah, that's KW's fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was a huge fan but now have doubts about how his stuff will work as a starter. There's been a lot of disappointments this year. Dunn, of course. I thought Beckham might really have a GOOD year. Pierre...... ........ The fact that Greg Walker is still the hitting coach and Ozzie still the manager. The fact that Scotty McCreery won American Idol.
