Young arms

19 09 2005
Well, with about 13 games to go the Sox are clinging to dear life for the AL East title. As we speak they've got an anorexic 1 1/2 game lead on the Yankees, and are definitely not playing their best baseball for sure. Whatever happens the rest of the way, we have a lot to look forward to for the future. I just watched the Major League debut of the young 21 year old Craig Hansen and man, it was impressive. A nice 3 up, 3 down inning with two K's and a popout against the Devil Dogs.

He's got fantastic stuff: a fastball in mid to high nineties and a great slider that's damn hard for a breaking ball. He's probably one more legit pitch away from being a front-end starter (my guess is he's working on a change-up).

Between him, Jonathan Papelbon and Manny Delcarmen; things are looking on the up for the Sox' pitching stable for the future.
