April 11, 201510 yr QUOTE (flavum @ Apr 11, 2015 -> 04:28 PM) Some pitcher coming off the DL tomorrow. Woo! Drabek lives. Best move. Drabek, while terrible so far, should still get a look. Plus the Sox need 12 pitchers IMO.

I thought maybe they would wait until next weekend with the off days on Monday and Thursday. It's pretty moot though. When Petricka is ready, Drabek is probably a goner.

April 12, 201510 yr But is someone actually going to claim Drabek? With Putnam scuffling, and Drabek bad, the Sox pen isn't nearly as deep as it needs to be. We need Jones and Crain and a good Petricka in a bad way.

We need Jones and Crain and a good Petricka in a bad way. I agree with the first 2 lines. We need Crain from 2 years ago. Even if he's ready now, the chances of that are not great. The Sox need YOUNG arms for the pen. The lack of them is one of the reasons that "all in" might have been a year premature. But they are going to have to go through minor league arms and hopefully some will quickly develop. Putnam sucked every year but last year, so there's no reason to give him a long leash.

I love the people who use the haiku style of posting. I used to do that.
April 12, 201510 yr Hopefully Sanburn, Leon, Ascensio and maybe Beck, Johnson or Montas/Danish in september can contribute. Def not Cleto.

Brad Penny is still with the organization right? Wasn't he pitching well during ST? Why not add him to the bullpen?

I may be howling at the moon, but I still think Cleto has a chance. He can strike guys out. He just blows up. Of course we've had a lot of guys like that. As for Penny, his spring ERA was close to 7.
