Rubby

[Palodios]

The Red Sox organization just doesn't have time to wait for projects unless they have very high ceilings.

RDLR had his chance this year. He started off very well, but it seemed like he never made the adjustments. I would not be surprised to see him do very well next year.

Webster got shelled every time he went out. He seems like a AAAA player, but I'm no scout.

Your "scouting" report was pretty much on the money Pal. RDLR was the same type of pitcher he was when he broke in with the Dodgers. One good outing, two bad ones---seemingly pitching well and then unraveling. And he will do that in Arizona unless they put him in the pen where I think he belongs. Two times around in the lineup and he usually is toast. Webster looks like a guy who pitches scared and maybe he'll do better in a weaker division and with a team where the fans are laid back and don't expect too much. To me he looked scared shitless every time I saw him on the hill this season. Even on the computer he looked like he had that deer in the headlights look. I think Miley is a safer bet than those two and I hope I'm right.

He stinks. Webster in a low pressure environment could succeed if he can harness his command. His stuff is exceptional-- much better than Rubby's stuff.

Is it me or Webster always looked panic on the mound. I won't miss neither of them.

I thought It was only me, but seems like we see the thing eye to eye.

I think people are judging Webster a little too much on his facial expression. He pitched pretty well in September and that might give him more confidence going into next year. Or he might be one of those guys that does better in a low pressure environment.

We see eye to eye on a lot of things iortiz but I would bet dollars to donuts we'd get that same opinion from most of the members of this board. I watched this guy on the computer at least ten times in two seasons and it was always the same mortal fear on the mound. Save for a pretty good and winning outing against the Angels last August we never got anything from this guy to warrant our keeping him. The Dodgers are a pack of assholes but they were smart enough to dump him on us and claim he was one of their top two or three prospects. Typical LA bullshit.
