Rick Hahn can also find future Cy Young candidates on the scrap heap

I guess it must be because he is comfortable because of Frazier and Navarro's presence. Genius!

Robin will probably pull him after six but I think I would let him go. They aren't hitting him and this is a manageable pitch count

Hard to ask for a better way for the starters to open the season.

I think Danks will be fine tomorrow in snowy conditions with an Indian lineup missing its key piece.

Danks just has to be decent about 2/3 of the times he takes the mound for me to be satisfied. I sense an All Star apperance for Rodon this year.

I still think Latos will end up being mediocre. Which is fine for your 4th starter. That's what most 4th starters are. But if he is above average, Sox will win the division. Cuz then you have 4 good pitchers to make up for Danks horrible starts.

If Danks continues to be bad he'll go to the bullpen in the 2nd half. What's the name of pretty good pitcher we have in the minors? He'll be up.

I've always liked Latos. Thought it was a good pickup.

He's always been good when healthy.

I think he is pitching well because the presence of Navarro and Frazier make him comfortable

I give Herm the benefit of the doubt when it comes to pitchers staying healthy. His work with Sale is a minor miracle.

Early Front runner for best FA signing of the year. 3 Million dollars.

Exhibit A as to why you don't give the John Fucking Lackeys of the world 16 million a year. And then have everyone talk about how you can just make a trade at the deadline for a starter. "We don't like to pay for past performance". This signing is going to piss me off all year.

thread hijack over.

I cant imagine you would have been happy with just signing Latos though. He's coming off two injury riddled mediocre years.

You're probably right.

But this is twice that Theo has done this. You don't give a 37 year old that kind of money.

Id have preferred Zimmerman. But yea, not just Latos. But they could have absolutely signed Latos for rotation depth.

Relax nutjobs. Latos pitched two games this year :lol: and you have him for FA signing of the year. The Twins have not even won a game this year, so I wouldn't read too much into this start or the one against the 4-6 A's.

Lackey is 2-0 and all that matters is he got the W and saved the pen(JORR 2014). It's not like he is pitching like the Shark did for you guys last year. 6-7 innings with less then 3 runs. I'll take that every time.

R E L A X and enjoy the W's against the AL's bottom feeders. Lets talk when they beat KC or DET.

:lol: Sox fans are funny, like a clown!

With all of the drama surrounding BRick's tournament thus year, I propose next year he seeds the worst 64 posters on the board and let us decide who is the absolute worst on the board. Juiced would have a real good shot to make the final four.
