The solution to all of our 5th starter woes!

Who knows why the White Sox signed the big guy? To waste money? To have him post a 9.95 ERA in AAA? No. It's quite simple...for the pennant push! Castillo would be a great guy to get an automatic loss from the 5th starter spot! I mean when Wright starts he hasn't won yet? So why waste Wright in the rotation when you can have the same outcome with Wright in the pen? I guarentee that everytime Castillo would start, he'd lose, and then Wright would get his work in from the bullpen!

 

Anyway I just felt like bringing Castillo up for no reason, just since he's in the organization again. It's funny how he was in the rotation once. He actually showed promise at age 22 with a decent 4.48 ERA. Then he sucked. :D We must've been awful when we hired Manuel. In one of my little nintendo baseball games Castillo is in it :). It's hilarious. Anyway, yeah.....

I'm hoping Scott Ruffcorn gets called up.

Sox signed signed Castillo as a favor for getting them Yofu

On a serious note Castillo has played at A, AA and AAA this year in the Sox organization. HIs latest move was to AA from A after Cotts was called up to the show. :bang

Bring me the Head of Rod Bolton!

Wow!!! Rod Bolton LOL How about Larry Thomas or Andrew Lorraine

Ken Hill.

 

Can we put Castillo in that Konerko/Thomas/Alomar match race?

john snyder's feelings are hurt that he wasn't mentioned.

 

what year was that when he was like 6-1 and discussed as a potential all-star?

 

1999, I believe.

 

And, of course, little Scottie Eyre, who got summoned to anaheim to start after the White Flag Trades

 

saw Castillo pitch for Charlotte this year.

 

he makes Ted Washington and Keith Traylor look like Robbie Alomar

Jaime Navarro would be a great fit??? :lol:

No, that's who KC is going to sign next.

 

I mean, if you sign Lima and Appier, Navarro has got to be right behind, no?

Heh, we're talkin about the bad signings and busts for the White Sox in a sarcastic way :). Jon Rauch may be one of those guys in 3 years lol.

Grady Hall, Hawk's #1 draft pick out of Northwestern, would look real good as a #5 starter.

We need to make an all-bust team for the White Sox consiting of front office and players :). BEVINGTON FOR MANAGER!

all-time bevington favorite moment?

 

went to the mound to make a pitching change.

 

One problem, terry. Nobody was warming up.

 

get outta town, Bevo.

LOL!! I remember that...

 

All bust team.... No particular order

 

SS Mike Caruso

LF Lyle Mouton

CF Leo Sutherland

RF Joe Hall

3B Chris Snopek

1B Mario Valdez

2B ??

DH Eddie Williams

 

Pitchers (We got a lot)

 

Chris Clemons

Scott Ruffcorn

Rodney Bolton

Andrew Lorraine

Brian Drahman

Steve Rosenberg

Jim Abbott???

Jim Abbott wasn't a bust really. He pitched well in 1995 for the SOx and then got traded back to anaheim. He was resigned in 1998 and went 5-0 i think. H emoved on the Milwaukee and went 2-18 and retired

let's not forget

 

robert machado catcher

 

 

bee bee richard ss

 

Kevin Bell 3b

 

Greg Norton, utility

 

Kenny Williams, 3b and of

 

Harry Chappas SS

 

Jason Dellaero SS

 

Joel Skinner C

 

Daryl Boston OF

 

Cecil Espy OF

I completly forgot about Kenny :D

Greg Norton, utility

But he is the greatest, isn't he?

And ...of course...The Deacon, Warren Newsome!!!!

Get off Neal's Ass he is the fifth starter. After his next start in Texas, you will see why he was brought up. The real question is what to do about the bullpen? They SUCK!!! Who is th closer in Charlotte and in Birmingham??

Bad GM - Who else but the Hawk.

 

All time bust at third. Ramon Conde. No one else would remember him, but in 1962 they touted him as the best prospect ever. They called him up in mid season, he went 0 for 16 and was never heard of again.

 

Let's also hear it for Luis Alverado.
