Hanrahan's Injury

[Thunder]

Sox closer is visiting Dr. James Andrews tomorrow, and when that happens, it's usually bad. He is listed as having a "forearm strain", so how bad to you think this injury actually is?

The bullpen was the most improved part of the team over the off season. I thought the improved bullpen would pickup 10 games for the team. Losing Hanrahan will be a huge blow.

TJ surgery? In my day, you'd just take a swig of castor oil, run out there lickety split and hope your third sacker can make some plays. Take your skirt off Hanrahan.

Well done.

Hmmm. Is this the type of not so subtle poking/ridicule that YOTN referred to yesterday? I guess poking and ridicule is okay as long as the target is an approved target.

Seems to me you would nee two swigs of caster oil if your "third sacker" was Ciriaco!:blink:

Difference being, my post isn't directed at anyone in particular.

 

FYI, every post on here isn't directed at you or Fred. You are still free to take it personally if you'd like, but I've been ignoring you since the Marathon and am not interested in your nonsense anymore.

You'd have to have a chaser of Sasparilla to go with it.

To echo a sentiment on the forum from yesterday, we all know what you meant, chump. At least when I ridicule someone, I have the guts to name them and not hide behind some thinly veiled lame excuse that you didn't name the person you were so clearly ridiculing. BTW, who mentioned Fred? Not me. You did, but I guess your snark was not directed at him. You are only here to shout you snarky insults from the bleachers while trying to blend in as another face in the crowd. That's nonsense and cowardly. That is directed right at you.

No, it's called having fun. You should try it sometime, you'd be less miserable.

 

In all honesty, I didn't say anything that was remotely offensive. I'm not sure why anyone on here would be bothered by what I wrote.

 

You can continue attacking me for no reason, but I don't really care.

For the record, i think lickety split is an awesome, awesome term.

[Station 13]

Hanrahan hasn't been here all-season. I wonder if that 5BB/9 last season was the beginning of his fall.

Your post was nothing more than ridicule. I wouldn't expect you to understand that ridicule is offensive behavior, because without ridicule you have no material. Your remarks are never good natured humor. You wouldn't know how to do that. It would be like Wayne Newton trying to rap.

 

I have fun everyday. I am having fun right now. I don't hate every boss that I have ever had and I don't change jobs like underwear. So, tell me who is miserable?

It was a bad 2nd half, right? It's definitely not looking good though. I hope he's not Jenks 2.0.

 

So, trade Salty for some relief help?

[SoxSport]

How the hell are we supposed to know "how bad this is"? Maybe you mean how bad is it for the Red Sox they have two closers who can't stay healthy?

He is Jenks 2.0

 

Way outta shape and a guy who had a lot of issues last season ought to work harder to be in better physical shape. He had some lingering issues throughout his career. Go figure.

[iortiz]

it?s funny how much money we have spent in s***** closers and let go Papelbon. Whata waste of money.

It would be hilarious if league-minimum making Tazawa became an effective closer.

[jacksonianmarch]

He has a black and blue and swollen elbow. Pronator strain is not the diagnosis

That is an excellent point. I have heard the theory that injuries start to manifest themselves in a loss of command. He was walking the ballpark at the end of last season.

Red Sox call up RHP Jose De La Torre

 

 

Posted by Peter Abraham, Globe Staff May 9, 2013 10:34 AM

 

The Red Sox have added depth to their battered bullpen by calling up righthander Jose De La Torre. The news came from general manager Ben Cherington on WEEI this morning.

 

De La Torre, 27, has appeared in 10 games for Triple A Pawtucket. He has allowed three earned runs on five hits with 10 walks and 17 strikeouts over 17.1 innings.

 

De La Torre has no major league experience. He was acquired from the Guardians for infielder Brent Lillibridge last July 24.

 

The Red Sox invited De La Torre to spring training. He appeared in five games, pitching six innings and striking out six with three walks.

 

De La Torre joined Puerto Rico for the World Baseball Classic and pitched well in six games there, striking out 12 and walking one over 5.2 innings.

 

Via email, Cherington said he was working on the 40-man roster move to make room for De La Torre.

De La Torre is a huge step down from Hanrahan.

Considering how bad Hanrahan has been, it really isn't. Can't confuse a name with production. If someone named Johnson put up Hanrahan's numbers, we would all be pumped that a kid with 3 ER in 17 IP and a strikeout an inning was coming up from AAA

The term "penny-wise and pound foolish" would not apply here, because we have thrown tons of money at guys that have been complete busts as closers. Bailey and Hanrahan will make arounfd a combined $12 million this year. Hopefully, one of them can step in and take secure the closer's role this season-- a role that Papelbon will ably fill for the Phillies for $13 million this season.

Countdown until "balky biceps" diagnosis....

Granted, I was talking about historic production and the expectations at the time Hanrahan was acquired. Much more was expected from Hanarahn than De La Torre who has never pitched in the majors. We will probably get more from De La Torre, but that will not be because he will be such a surprise, but rather because Hanrahan will cut cut open.

[italstallianion]

I don't think we expect much at this point. Just throw the ball over the plate, don't walk guys, and don't get injured. I doubt we'd use him in leverage situations.

Yep, that's about it.
