    I think that it is way too early to make a conclusion about this group. Most of them have had only one start thus far. I am sure that several of the newly acquired pitchers around baseball will have positive impacts on their 2013 teams. As for Harang, he has been a 5 inning pitcher for several years already with little success. I don't like his prospects with us. Has anyone signed Freddie Garcia? Even with his diminished stuff, he has consistently shown that he can give his team a chance to win. That's all you can ask of a depth option. Hopefully, Aceves can do that for us at aleast as well as Julian Tavarez did in 2007.

    We have not had al of our starters make all of their starts since 2004. It was only a matter of time before our depth options got called upon. Too often in past years we have had 1or 2 black holes in our rotation for a month or two or longer-- guys who don't even give you a chance of winning. That is devastating to a team, because the remaining starters are in a postion where they have to win nearly every start.

    Aceves will get his shot. My fingers are crossed.
  4. a700hitter
    He got squeezed big time on the first 2 pitches to the last batter.

    The kid just hit the game-winning HR on Opening Day. How should a Red Sox fan feel about him? Of course, I am loving the kid. He has the heart of an All Star that is overcoming his minor league talent. Love his heart and his effort.

    Nava!! I love that kid!!

    It would be nice to get a run here to give Buch a chance at a win, and get me some fantasy points.

    At some point, everyone will tire of our base runners being sent to their deaths by Farrell and the 3rd base coach, Butterball. The Jays running game was completely demented for the last 2 years.

    If they DFA him to make room for Drew, they have 10 days to make a deal for him. We'd run the risk of losing him for nothing.

    2 for 1 hot dogs and kids eating free was not enough to get through 2 games. That's what happens when you charge the highest prices in the sport and come in last place for the first time in 47 years (when the highest price ticket was $3.50).
  11. a700hitter
    Is this game sold out?
  12. a700hitter
    When Ortiz comes back, Iggy would still have to go, and Drew might be rusty if Iglesias is playing in front of him.
  13. a700hitter
    Do they cut Ciriaco for this to happen?
  14. a700hitter
    That's right. The only thing we can do is disagree and discuss.
  15. a700hitter
    It would surprise me if it was only two starts. He's probably not going to be allowed to throw long toss for a few days. I would imagine that they will have him throw a simulated game before they put him back out on the mound. They are calling it bicep tendonitis. They need to make sure that all of the inflammation is gone.
  16. a700hitter
    I agree. That would be the best approach, but they may choose a cautious road with Ortiz so the heel doesn't flare up. I don't like our lineup with Ortiz and Napoli sitting on the same say so Napoli will have to play every interleague game if Ortiz can't take the field. I don't see Nava at 1B in interleague games.
  17. a700hitter
    If Iggy goes 10 for 10 before Wednesday, they will still put him on the Pawtucket shuttle.
  18. a700hitter
    We could do worse than having Drew play SS for us. He is a known quantity. There is no Drew mystery (I resisted saying Nancy Drew Mystery-- no I didn't). I am interested in seeing what Iggy has. He is not a known quantity.
  19. a700hitter
    I wonder if there is any possibility that Napoli catches some interleague games to let Ortiz play first. If not, Napoli will probably sit against righties if they think Ortiz heel can withstand playing first base.
  20. a700hitter
    I said that the money will win. I agree that Drew will play when able, and Iggy will get the bus ticket to Pawtucket. I am not sure where you have a disagreement with what I posted. I would never have signed Drew. I am on record that this was a season to see what we have with some of our more ripe prospects. Is that where you disagree... about the signing?
  21. a700hitter
    Once Iggy gets sent down, it's a dead issue. They can't bring him back up for 10 days.
  22. a700hitter
    I wanted Iggy to get his opportunity in 2013, but the team invested $8 million in Drew. The money always wins.
  23. a700hitter
    I am betting that he misses at least 4 starts. He was supposedly pretty sore after the game. Putting a pitcher on the mound to give max effort after getting a muscle strain in his arm is not something that you do right after the pain goes away.
  24. a700hitter
    My guess is that Carp leaves when Ortiz comes back.
  25. a700hitter
    Wow!! 3 bombs and a double-- that's a good week of work.
