White Sox pitching
Wow.
That has been the White Sox pitching against the Angels. I am surprised the Angels went down so quietly, but the White Sox shut down Vlad and displayed the kind of pitching the M's should possess.
It is a good lesson- if you have to take great hitting or great pitching, take the pitching every time. You have options to make your offense good enough- it is harder to create good pitching, as the M's will find out this winter.
It makes you wonder if trading Garcia was such a good thing. Today, we have a light hitting CF, a catcher who is gone and a player with no position in the organization. What we don't have is the equivalent of Garcia- eats innings and doesn't miss starts.
Let's see if Garcia's contract number ($9 mil/yr) gets an equivalent pitcher via free agency.
I'm betting it does not.
