So don't get too excited about a 1.49.<BR/><BR/>Peralta was 2-3 with a 4.57 ERA in 27 games between the GCL Sox, Single-A Greenville and short-season Single-A Lowell.<BR/><BR/>And yes, overall I'm happy with Theo. The farm looks fine. we have some $$ to play with for parts.<BR/><BR/>And hey we lost our ace and our closer - two high pressure value packed slots worth almost 300 innings. Imagine where we would have been if Theo had mot been creative and gotten Miller, Wells and Clement all for the (preseason) price of Pedro. Our rotation would have been:<BR/><BR/>Pedro<BR/>Wake<BR/>Arroyo<BR/>Halama (maybe??)<BR/>And whom????<BR/>Scary thoughts.<BR/><BR/>And sure he tried. Look at the relievers we plugged in at some point:<BR/><BR/>Blaine Neal (and I thought he would make a difference)<BR/>Scott Cassidy<BR/>Cla Meredith<BR/>Remlinger<BR/>Harville<BR/>Jeremi Gonzalez<BR/>Matt Perisho<BR/><BR/>Had we been able to catch lightening in a bottle with maybe one of these guys (think Aaron Small or Shaw Cy-con) we might not all have this bad feeling in our stomach. Hell, if Embree pitched like Embree 04, we probably have a 5 game lead right now.Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07619431779431103280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10243036.post-1128029683096009902005-09-29T17:34:00.000-04:002005-09-29T17:34:00.000-04:00Yeah, I know. And you have to assume Torre will s...Yeah, I know. And you have to assume Torre will split up the two to wreak havoc on the Sox bullpen (back when there was only Myers). Even so, I can't help but think, "way too little, way too late." <BR/><BR/>I actually have been overall quite happy with Theo this year -- at least in terms of pitchers, we have a phenomenal future to look forward to. It's just, this move seems a little silly in terms of its timing. <BR/><BR/>But yeah, credit for trying. <BR/><BR/>If Stanton makes some key strikeout, it shows Theo is a genius; if not, well, he can't be worse. So, unless these two prospects turn out to be hall-of-famers, nothing lost I guess.Earlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16528300608952663063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10243036.post-1128028331997389152005-09-29T17:12:00.000-04:002005-09-29T17:12:00.000-04:00Hey give Theo some credit for trying.Seriously.Rig...Hey give Theo some credit for trying.<BR/><BR/>Seriously.<BR/><BR/>Right here on these very boards it was lamented we had no lefty to face Matsui:<BR/><BR/>http://gysnetwork.blogspot.com/2005/09/five-game-season.html#112792076143763346<BR/><BR/>And questions about why not have 40 men in the dugout.<BR/><BR/>This year against lefties, Stanton had an BAA of .232 versus a .358 for righties. <BR/><BR/>So he faces only Giambi or Matsui.Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07619431779431103280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10243036.post-1128027700576214862005-09-29T17:01:00.000-04:002005-09-29T17:01:00.000-04:00We still have some roster spots available I think....We still have some roster spots available I think.

(Unless they reeaaalllly want home team advantage?) So expect the Indians to take 2 out of 3.
