    how many starters can we send to the pen though? at some point someone needs to be traded. The pen looks to be like: CL Papelbon Set-up Okajima MR Delcarmen MR Timlin MR Donnelly* MR Lopez/Breslow/Pineiro MR Tavarez/Wakefield/Snyder The Rockies are interested in Tavarez so once Schilling gets back the rotation looks like Beckett/DiceK/Schilling/Wakefield/Gabbard-Lester, so trading Tavarez looks like the best move IMO.

    lets see what he can do, maybe a promotion is just what he needed to get jump started again

    Id actually be very interested to see where yazman is getting his information from about him not being mentally tough enough. The story that appeared makes sense, his mechanics were messed up and he completely lost his dominant slider. No he wasnt drafted a dud, he had an extremely good slider and fastball combo when he was drafted and lost it and the results haven't been pretty. There's no rebounding when you don't have your normal stuff to begin with, are we basing this mentally tough thing on him having a lot of struggles? Is Casey Fossum not mentally tough enough to handle pitching for TB?

    Good people of Talk Sox, 95 miles into our journey we have hit an iceberg and we are gaining water. There is hope that we can fix the damage or hold out for another 67 miles until we reach the new world. Many have expressed doubt in this crew and for the kiddies and fanboys the lifeboats are to the left. Sure the sailing has been easy going up to this point, and there's a storm 7 miles on the horizon but now is not the time to jump ship. And how many other ships have a 7 mile advantage at this point, Ill tell you folks, none. It seems to grow closer everyday but thus is the reality of life, its a race to the finish and you can never expect to avoid every storm the sea throws at you. This vessel appears to be gaining water but I intend to stay aboard for the duration of this journey through thick and thin, who's with me?

    wow i guess its too much to expect this team to beat the royals these days. this team needs a SP badly, tavarez and wake suck and the back end is badly exposed right now.

    uh K-rate is a huge factor in predicting future success. The reason Oswalt has been effective is because despite the declining K-rate he has improved walk rate which has risen back to his 2004 circa days. His walk rate isnt bad but at that time period he was striking out a lot more batters then he is now. Oswalt raises a huge red-flag for me right now because of the declining K-rate and huge spike in walk rate, and when you arent striking out guys and walking a lot more your going to run into trouble like he has this season. He posted a 2.94 ERA last year with a 4.37 K/BB and has a 3.91 ERA with a 2.17 K/BB. If it takes Buchholz for him count me out for sure.

    wow francona completely lost this game for us, nice job with the lineup, how did I know this was going to happen
  16. Rdsxmbnt
    oki hasn't pitched for a while so he needed work
  17. Rdsxmbnt
    nice win
  18. Rdsxmbnt
    2 IP, 1 hit, 0 ER, 0 BB, 4 Ks. love it, 1.35 ERA on the season now
  19. Rdsxmbnt
    I love MannyD he's definetly solidifying himself as the 7th inning guy
  20. Rdsxmbnt
    hes been dominant in his two starts, very nice to see and extremely good groundball tendencies also to go along with the high K rate and low walk rate
  21. Rdsxmbnt
    HR Tek!
  22. Rdsxmbnt
    Lester is definetly not ready. He's been striking out guys lately and making some progress but he's still walking too many guys, I dont think he's mentally ready to be called up either.

    Papelbon: 5.07 Hits/9: 2.67 BB/9: 12.81 K/9: .80 HR/9: .157 BAA: .86 WHIP: 1.87 ERA Saito: 5.39 Hits/9: .98 BB/9: 11.52 K/9: .98 HR/9: .168 BAA: .71 WHIP: 1.47 ERA Saito's edge is definetly in the the walks since he's allowed 6 less than Papelbon. The differences are so small though, the ERA difference is one run, the HR difference is one, the hits are couple, etc. The difference in the AL and NL can't be overlooked, the league ERAs are close and Im not looking to get into a big argument but the talent level is quite a bit better in the AL. So if you want a couple walks, hits, HR, runs to sway your judgement go ahead but Im not going to call Saito's season way better than Papelbon's especially with the league difference. (Putz is hands-down the best but thats for another day).
