it does not help when our starters can't clear the 5th inning in 3 of the last 4 starts. And Boston is a pretty good team.
To be fair, at the time of the trade Delabar was atrocious. He gave up a bomb just about every time he made an appearance. I was actually surprised anyone would give up so much as a bag of balls for him. I was actually an advocate of flat out releasing him. He throws hard, and obviously learned how to keep the ball down and developed an offspeed pitch of some sort.JOz56":ksjiidag said:TheRealDTM":ksjiidag said:So this Steve Delabar guy that made the allstar game.. how did we let him go? Trade him for a bag of potato chips? just release him ?
I don't follow the Ms much but i'd like to know what happend here hah.
All I could find was that he was involved in a trade that brought Eric Thames here, and was sent to the Jays.
Yup

but dang, Raul is amazing.
