There Are A Lot Of Good Pitchers No U Think. Who U Think Are Gonna Be The Starters This Season ???

 

This Are My Starters:

 

Papelbon

Lester

Delcarmen

Gabbard

Mendoza

You pretty much have it in the order of how good they are going to be.

[Plumpamania]

The Seadogs have some really good spects on their team. Hanley's also on the team and Murphy. Is Moss moved up to AA yet?

[Zenny]

I think a lot of who goes where will be determined by Spring Training. With the year Murphy had, he could be back at high-A (now Wilmington, no longer Sarasota) and Hanley could be bumped to Pawtucket if he tears it up. I do think that Moss is going to get a half or quarter season at Wilmington to prove he's the real deal.

[Plumpamania]

That wouldn't be bad for him. But I like Moss I can see him as an above average MLB corner OF'er.

Yeah, I was all for rushing him to AA, but it seems like he needs some time.

Gabbard

Mendoza

Actually, now that I think about it, the Sox are probably going to put David Pauley (the guy we got in the Dave Roberts trade) as the #5 guy in the Portland rotation instead of Luis Mendoza.

 

Mendoza sucks. He can't strike out anyone. All he has is a 93 MPH fastball. His secondary pitches are awful and his heater isn't even that fast from a righty. He should be in the bullpen. Of course, Gabbard is just going to get hurt anyway, so we could see one of the kids from Wilmington get a bump.

 

On a semi-related note, it looks like the Sox are going to be using Juan Cedeno in the bullpen from now on. I like that move. He could become a premier closer with the stuff he possesses.

Maybe U Riright Mendoza Not Strike Out Anyone But He Make Most Out Than Anyone . He Can Pitch Nine Innings With 80 Pitches I Think He Going To Have A Good Year And Improves His Stuff.

 

Boston Made A Good Move With Cede?o He Is Going To Be More Confortable And Relax In The Bullpen, Now He Going To Throx Gas Up There.

I think Mendoza is going to get shelled in AA. It is true that he controls the ball very well, but if your K/9 is around 3, you are going to get destroyed, especially in the Eastern League with little ballparks and bad weather.
