Default Re: Bullpen Concerns

hansen was the victim of paps success and a season of injuries that required a savior to pitch in big spots...he was too young to drinl legally and what??15 months outta high school when he debuted....thruout redsox histoy its a given that the cant miss prospects end up on the business end of a disaster or tragedy of some sorts.
i go back to roger moret and don aase and can name a dozen guys who just exploded before making their mark in the big show
juan pena was tragic
the kid who burnt his hand on the canlde
the kid who fell on the glass severing his hand tendons
frankie ""she showed ne an id""rodriguez
brian""minor league pitcher of the year""rose
tomo ""14-0 i love rhode island"" okha
jeff""the strutter""sellers
sunny kim
bunny kim
sang song
robinson ""cy"" checo
and if i gave it any thought i could go back to the dark days like the career of calvin schiraldi ending in queens and the tommy bolton dana kieker lefty duos,1 of which got the ball against bob 26-4 ebony eyes cy winner welch in game 2 of the alcs with less than 10 starts under his belt....prospects have terrified me for years for good reasons
i dont trust them to be what theyre supposed to be
paps and bucks have made me sleep better but in my world i like 32 year old grizzled vets
