    Jamie Moyer... and he really only started becoming "dominant" much later in age. Oddly enough, Saarloos' "stuff" is very similiar to his.

    None of this changes the fact that Kirk Saarloos still sucks...

    Give Saarloos a chance, it takes awhile for pitchers to develop when they rely on off-speed and breaking pitches. Without overpowering stuff, Saarloos is really going to have to learn how to mix all his pitches well and locate, locate, locate.

    White sucks also. His ERA was over 6.00 for the White Sox! Why do we want him? So what if he is old and experienced. I think we have enough experienced players on this team already.

    Well, the Chronicle made it official today, as I'm sure most of you know. White's in, Saarloos is sent down. Hope he can offer some relief for the bullpen they've pitched a lot of innings this year.
