come july, who do you think the 5th starter will be? I'm guessing one of those flamethrowers they sent down to AAA.

I'll say Floyd if Danks craps out in the beginning which he probably will because history shows he struggles at first, then gets used to the league and then he excels. If Ozzie's smart, he sticks with him all year.

Watch out for Haeger. If he doesnt grab a rotation job by the end of the season, it would be nice to see him in long relief coming out of the pen. We could have used him today most def.

heck, after today I should ask by july "who's going to be the number 1 pitcher in the rotation".

I just got a sick feeling, ever since Kenny Williams decided to trade Freddy Garcia and Brandon McCarthy. Hopefully these deals pan out, time will tell. I don't get why we threw mad cash at a pitcher with more L's than W's under his belt.

It's only 1 game, so hopefully our Sox get back on track, if not, let's hope Kenny gets somebody in here to get it down.

Go Sox Go!

Freddy Garcia barely made the Phillies rotation as the #5 starter. His velocity is down to 83mph reportedly. Keep in mind, in his prime he was a 94/95mph power pitcher.

McCarthy will give up too many HR's and more importantly will have a high ERA in that ballpark. I like both deals, but man, whoever is in the White Sox scouting department screwed up big time again. Masset supposedly had stuff just a tidbit step down from Jenks' and his fastball was supposed to be at around 97/98. Yesterday Masset was hitting 91 on his fastball.

I can't wait for the day that we get new scouts because our current ones suck ass.
