November 21, 201411 yr He will be remembered for his goggles and pitching pretty well against his former team. And Blow-a-savio. TUC quote.
November 21, 201411 yr He did well right up until the point that Lindstrom went down and Robin tried to use him as closer. Then he blew a few saves, his confidence went and he never pitched the same since. He was so bad at one point, Robin considered Dunn in the pen ahead of him. I blame Robin for putting him in the closers spot. I reckon he would have had an ok year if he'd been the 7th or 8th inning guy.
November 21, 201411 yr Actually, I wouldn't mind seeing Belisario back as a middle reliever, but he has to work on his command.

Belly was the closer of the year in one of the Winter Leagues, and had closed some before. When you are down a few bullets where else could Robin have turned?
November 21, 201411 yr Author Robin had nothing to do with Belisario imploding. Belisario leaving fat pitches out over the middle of the plate had to do with Belisario imploding.

November 27, 201411 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 26, 2014 -> 09:33 PM) Belisario cleared and was assigned to Charlotte. How does that work money wise? He doesn't get what he was set to get in arbitration right?

November 27, 201411 yr Hopefully he still has to get non-tendered next week. Not sure if that's how it works now that he's off the 40-man. Anyway, be on your way.

Anyway, be on your way. I wouldn't mind seeing BelisaRio back as a spring training invite, he was pitching a role he wasn't used to out of the bullpen and he had a lot of bad luck.

November 27, 201411 yr QUOTE (LDF @ Nov 26, 2014 -> 09:06 PM) i wouldn't think so, it was like he was release in his arb yr. If all he's on is a minor league contract then it wouldn't be the worst thing to have him down in AAA. Maybe some time in the minors to build confidence could be a good thing.

I think that if he's invited to spring training and performs very well and worthy of a spot in the bull pen then you have to give it to him. I think that there is some potential there in Belisario, he could be a good weapon to have in the pen. If he starts the season in AAA, then he could work on some things and build up some confidence like 787 said. I think Belisario could be a good 7th inning guy, if all things work out.

November 27, 201411 yr Author He's not going to accept the assignment. He will request free agency and take someone else's money.

November 27, 201411 yr QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 27, 2014 -> 10:01 AM) No one else wanted him, or he wouldn't be at Charlotte. Other teams don't want him at the cost of what the Sox are paying him. There might be other teams willing to sign him and give him a ST invite after he refuses Charlotte and they can get him for cheaper.
