Someone needs to tell the White Sox starting pitchers that spring training is over, so they can stop giving up so many runs. Spring training 2007 was a nightmare for the Sox, who managed only 10 victories, the worst in the Cactus League. Sox starters were hit so hard so often, it made me wonder which pitching team would show up this season.
I guess I already know the answer to that question. Jose Contreras gave up eight runs in less than two innings in today’s season opening loss to the Cleveland Indians 12-5 at U.S. Cellular Field. What bothers me is that Contreras was the most consistent starter for the Sox during spring training. I don’t think anyone expected this kind of outing from him on opening day. What does that mean for the rest of the team?
I hate to say this, but if the Sox don’t solve their starting pitching problems soon, 2007 may be a very long season.
