There is definitely an issue on how to handle that, however. I actually kind of hate September call-ups for this reason. While it's nice to see the guys the org thinks are going to be coming up with the club, it's also misleading as far as sample size is concerned. Granted, numbers and analysis can give you a better idea of what might happen in the long term, but there are also anomalies, and as a fan, it's easy to get excited over someone who may or may not pan out, based on September. Agreed. There is definitely an issue on how to handle that, however.

I like to think we are having an intelligent conversation. I just don't like comparing any team to the Yankees because i think they function completely different than any other organiztion in baseball with the exception of Boston who just does it better. I think i may have misunderstood what you were trying to convey. I agree that the weakest point is this offense but i think that if we're not careful and go over board our pitching could go by the wayside very quickly. Defense must stay at a premium because of how our starting pitching and alot of our bullpen is dependent upon on it. Oh please, don’t feel as if we are arguing I don’t think that at all.

Granted, we won that game because of our bullpen, but Danks held us pretty tight during his tenure on the mound, while Morrow proceeded to give up the 3 runs that nearly helped the Sox win that game. Had it not been for a Bobby Jenks off-night (speaking of scary pitchers), that game would have been lost. Had it not been for our bullpen, it would have been lost. Part of me kind of thinks we're agreeing, but just arriving at the agreement differently. And who knows? Perhaps Morrow just suffers from that old standby, 'change of scenery', and another club could turn him into a useful 3 or 4 starter. I'm not even sure why I'm "arguing" with you (I'm not, really), as I think our main weakness all year has basically been offense, and has little to do with Morrow. :/ The Yankees were probably a bad example to use, especially given our pounding last night…let’s just say that Morrow doesn’t instill the same confidence in me that even his Thursday opponent John Danks did.
