    He would hqave been able to go deep into games in that stretch. Something that "The Ultimate Loser" and others could not do. When combined with Schilling and Beckett, Arroyo's talent to eat innings may have taken some heat off the pen. Look at the 2005 pen with Harville, Remlinger and other assworted crap. It was no better than the '06 bullpen. In fact the '06 bullpen was probably worse as it didn't have a dominant closer. Yet Arroyo won 14 in '05. There's no reason to believe that he wouldn't have won 10-15 this year for the Sox. The bullpen sucked, but the snowball started rolling downhill when starters couldn't get past the 4th or 5th inning on a daily basis.

    This somehow makes him look less like a clutch player who is beloved by the fans and feared by opposing pitchers? Really? How so?

    His ERA would have been higher as is the league's ERA, but he would have put up between 10-15 wins and made 30-35 starts just like he dide in the AL.

    But he has a reputation for disappearing in big games.
  8. a700hitter
    That's a thought. If he does well until the end of the season, he could be valuable bait.

    Arroyo won his 13th game today, helping the Reds down the stretch. If nothing else, he is consistent and reliable.

    You have really gone over the edge if you think Loretta has killed the '06 Sox. I guess the terrible starting pitching and bullpen had nothing to do with it, or replacing Damon's stick with Crisp's, or another half-year from Nixon, or Varitek's .240 avg. and injury. You lose credibility with ridiculous remarks like that.

    I agree that Pedroia should be playing in these games, but Loretta is hardly a scrub. If everyone in te lineup had been as consistent as Loretta, the team would have been better off. There were a lot of things wrong with the '06 Sox, but Loretta was not one of the problems.

    Some of us have been calling Loretta DFA since JSinger wanted him DFA'd in mid -August.

    I thought he was a bad signing, but not as bad as Seanez who I considered to be a waste. Tavarez was in the running for the DFA contest for a while with Seanez especially after that game where he blew up and almost threw away a game only to be saved by a play at the plate for the final out. He has earned some kudos taking the ball as a starter when everyone elese was crapping out in that role.

    I thought he was under contract for next year.
  18. a700hitter
    Now that's why I'm still watching. Ortiz with # 48.!!
  19. a700hitter
    DFA with a single and an RBI
  20. a700hitter
    Not a bad outing from Tavarez. 5 1/3 inning, 5 hits, 3 runs, 2 BB's, 5 k's, 78 pitches. We haven't been seeing enough of that.
  21. a700hitter
    Nixon has looked terrible since he came back from injury. That can't help his market value.
  22. a700hitter
    Maybe he's another Lowe, who couldn't hack the pressure of the bullpen anymore but had the good sinker to be effective in a starting role.
  23. a700hitter
    Tavarez 5 scoreless innings, 2 hits, 1 walk, 5 k's
  24. a700hitter
    Tavarez gives up his first hit after 3 2/3 innings. Does this guy get a shot at the rotation next spring? Edit: 4 scoreless on 1 hit.
  25. a700hitter
    DFA with a single to set the table for Papi with 2 on and no out.
