The world's greatest pitching depth isn't coming through

I have always wondered why some call pitchers who cannot get anyone out depth.

Wow, Robin really going to kill the bullpen with a five run deficit against Verlander.

 

Putnam needs to go more inning than Charlie or this a ridiculously stupid decision.

What is real scary is Wednesday make be Act 2.

I agree with you Marty. Draft the best pitcher at 1-3 and sign the best free agent pitcher you can.

 

IMO, Shields & Masterson both make perfect sense for us. Sign one of them, draft Hoffman, and our rotation outlook from 2015 to 2019 suddenly becomes pretty awesome.

 

I think they are going to need three of the high-to-medium priced pitchers on the market and then take a chance on a guy for a year. Some combo of 2 starters and 2 relievers.

Hopefully they send down Leesman and send another arm up.

So does everyone else here agree that we need to give up on Johnson?

Who said anything about giving up on Johnson, that would be nuts.

AR becoming a DP machine.

That's quick

The guy who wants to replace 2 starters in a 5 man rotation.

 

This is pretty simple. 5-2=3. One starter must be removed out of the other 4 to do that.

Deal him, if not keep him and deal Q.

It angers me that while most of baseball was exhaustively focusing on player drafting and development over the last several years, the previous gm was laughing at the notion of 'rebuilding'. It will be a long time before this team is a serious contender again.

 

And why is Komerko still on this roster?

What's wrong with a rotation of Sale-Shields/Masterson-Quintana-Johnson-Danks? Save the rest of your money for the best left-handed bat available in free agency and a couple relievers and this team is a catcher from being a legit title contender.

See, this is where you're clearly trolling. You complain about our pitching depth and then your plan to improve it starts with trading away one of our few cost-controlled pitchers. Makes no sense at all.

Ya trading Q is idiotic.

Q stays end of story.

I would love that rotation. And Q isn't going anywhere. Especially with the contract that he just got.

1.) The Sox should not wait for Johnson to develop because of Sale's health.

2.) If Johnson does develop this year Q can be used to fill other holes.

Sox probably done scoring tonight.

Hell no to number 2. Why trade a good valuable pitcher. Our second best.

No way.

Downs just a waste of 4 mil plus Konerko wasted money.

Downs comes in and a run scores...

Keppinger and Paulino too.

Downs walked a guy. Shocking.

Can Downs be any worse?
