I'm not expecting an ace, but he's just VERY hittable. I think people are overrating his value because of his middle relief performances in last year's postseason. But you aren't going to use long middle relief as often in the regular season because it's not do or die. As far as the Yankee rotation goes, none of them have performed this season. I was making the point that when the Yankee's acquired them, all of them were the ace of their respective staffs (except for Wright). There are teams interested in Arroyo right now. I'm saying take advantage of that interest while it lasts because the more AB's hitters in the AL East get against him, the more that interest will wane.

A 100% Schilling has mid-90's heat with location and a deadly splitter. An 80-90% Schilling has at most low-90's/high-80's FB without much movement. In other words, an Embree meatball.

How 'slim' we talking? Anything thicker than saran-wrap, and I'd say you need to check your meds.
-
That 'yet' suggests you think it's worth waiting for. I have some advice. Don't hold your breath, lest you end up taking a dirt-nap.
-
Oh, I see. So those big hits he got in the postseason last year got us how many games in the standings this year?
-
I think Soriano would be way too costly. The Rangers need pitching, but I wouldn't want to give up any of our young guns to replace Bellhorn when we have Pedroia waiting in the wings. Besides they have a decent prospect at 2B in AAA ( Esteban German, .322 BA, .404 OBP, .430 SLG, 19 SB ), so I don't think they'll be looking for a position player replacement.
-
Stat from ESPN's coverage of last nights game. Bellhorn is hitting .171 with RISP, worst in the AL with a minimum of 40 AB.
-
Honestly, can offensive production out of the 2B position be any worse for this team? Even if the kid struggles for bit, and I don't see him doing it because he has performed quickly at every level, he's not going to be worse than Bellhorn at the plate. Plus he's a better fielder. Easy decision in my opinion.
-
I agree, Miller can be outright NASTY when he has his control and velocity back. Low 90's and can move the ball both ways. I'm expecting a better 2nd half from Wade.

I'm not suggesting we get rid of Arroyo for some magic beans, quite the contrary. I just think we need to act while teams are interested because Arroyo's dim shine is, in my opinion, beginning to fade. And, yes, he does have potential. He could be another Mussina if he starts to locate his fastball, but Mussina never had those control problems. If he's only topping out around 90mph, he needs to be able to work the strikezone in and out, up and down to be effective. He keeps getting behind batters with missed fastballs and they are just camping out at 2-0 looking for meatball curve in the zone. Barring injuries, the Yankees rotation has 4 pitchers who were the #1 (Johnson, Mussina, Pavano, Brown) on the teams they left to come to NY, and a #2 (Wright). While we don't quite lay out the dough like they do, at the amount of money we spend, we shouldn't have anything worse than a #3 in the rotation. Arroyo is #4 or #5 and won't be better than that without location.

Last night's game, Arroyo vs. Mussina, provided some insight about our musician on the mound. They are two very similar pitchers. Equitable velocity, both top out the gun around 91 mph. Their best stuff is offspeed breaking pithces with location. The major difference is Mussina's ability to locate his fastball for strikes, which is something he has been able to do since he was first called up by the O's. Arroyo's struggle to hit his spots with the fastball has allowed opponents to sit on the breaking ball in the strike zone. I think we have seen the best we will see from Arroyo, and I'm not sold on him being a reliable starter in the AL East. Theo really ought to consider dealing him now, because I think his stock will only fall with more starts in this division. Thoughts.......?

Kenny Rogers to be ARRESTED and CHARGED with a FELONY!
ORS replied to Sox fan in Tex's topic in Boston Red Sox Talk
WTF? The guy gets 250K for that? I'm going to the store, buying a camera, and following Rogers around for the rest of the year. Talk about hitting lottery. -
He's not even healed all the way. His velocity is only 90-91.
-
Theo better get on the phone. We need relief help. Now.
-
Schilling would be protecting a one-run lead without the bald idiot in the pink shirt.
-
C'mon JohnnyHelmet.......
-
Olerud for Bellhorn........thank GOD!
-
At least Millar got on base 4 times tonight......the fat f***ing no-fielding troll.....sorry, venting.
-
Can we get rid of Millar like yesterday.......routine dig. Olerud and Youk both make that play. The ball bounced 3 feet off the ground and went OVER his head while he was on his knees looking for a cock to suck.
-
Alright, top-o-the order......
-
"Hello, did you see me? Yeah, I know a s***-sniffing idiot, but I got a baseball. Der-de-der."
-
Would've been a beautiful play by Trot too.
-
Arroyo can't locate the FB, they're sitting on the curve.......again.
-
That fan SUCKS!!!!!!!!!
-
Millar's in? Ok Kev, put up or shut up time. It's a big series and you've got a chance to pick up more playing time like you've been griping about.
