September 21, 200322 yr We have a solid one. We have both Lefties and Righties on the bench we also have alot of veterans that can help us out a whole lot.

September 21, 200322 yr LC, you are missing something... You need a pinch-hitting GOOD DEFENSIVE outfielder...I don't think Harris is that great defensively... I would add Holly into the mix.. Gerald Williams isn't eligible for playoffs...and Holly has had more time and is probably better defensively anyways than Banker. I would definitely want Castro, but knowing McKeon he's going to take Red over Castro considering it really doesn't make sense taking your back-up back-up over your back-up even though Castro deserves it.
September 21, 200322 yr Author the definate bench players are Redmond, Holly, Mordacai, Conine, Harris The rest can be either banks, castro, fox,
September 21, 200322 yr the definate bench players are Redmond, Holly, Mordacai, Conine, Harris The rest can be either banks, castro, fox, Conine is not a definate.
September 21, 200322 yr the definate bench players are Redmond, Holly, Mordacai, Conine, Harris The rest can be either banks, castro, fox, Conine is not a definate. How do you figure?
September 21, 200322 yr ya but if fox is there taht means one of the guys that did better this yr will not be on it. fox sux the worse this yr.
September 21, 200322 yr Well,Conine is an experienced veteran who does have play-off experience. Conine has also snaped out of that cold streak he had when he first returned to us (Seeing the ball better,being patient,making contact.)I wouldn't feel comfortable with a rookie starting in the Playoffs. It could come down to who is hotter in the end between Conine and Cabs. Anyway, when we get to the World Series Cabs (or Conine.) will be a DH. So neither will be on the bench during AL games.
September 21, 200322 yr the only definite bench player is Conine/Cabs.... no one else is a definite... myabe Castro too
September 21, 200322 yr Author the only definate is redmond, because mckeon loves him, why in the owrld would castro be definate?????
September 21, 200322 yr quick not for those not informed, MOST teams bring 10 or 11 pitchers to the playoffs because of the shorter series and more off days. so 14-15 position players will be on the roster.
September 22, 200322 yr this team will most likely go with a 4 man rotation because of the youth and the high inning totals. no matter what Beckett, Penny, D-Train, Red, Pavz, Loop, U, Bump,and Tejera will be on the staff so that leaves 1-2 more spots...
September 22, 200322 yr Author If we make the playoffs I think the rotation should be Beckett, penny, willis, but im not sure who will be next in the rotation at that time, cuz if we clinch early i think well hold back willis and start helling
September 22, 200322 yr I rather starte redman than penny, because penny would be better in the pen. penny would be throwing gas in the pen and redman is more consitent as starter this yr.
September 22, 200322 yr oh but then too many lefties. I dunno. beckett, willis, penny probably in that order because its R,L,R and willis throw a little slower so hitter triming will be off more.
September 22, 200322 yr Well, I think Pavano is going to the pen for sure. BUT Willis might not be a bad idea from the pen if they don't put him in the starting rotation. Don't get me wrong, he would be great and perfect in the starting rotation. But, from the pen, the hitters will have to look at his rotation for the first time after a normal windup for 5-6 innings. Tell me that wouldn't be deadly.
September 22, 200322 yr it sound good jaunky but willis never does good in the first ining and that would probly happen if he just went in for 1 ining.
