Seeing Todd Jones tonight I'm reminded of another reliever with, i
think, a similiar name.
Seeing Todd Jones last night, I was reminded of how mediocre Todd Jones
is.
Heh, I still can't believe Jones is closing over Zumaya and Rodney. His gritty
veteranness must have won out over their unprovenness. Also, he makes a lot of
money so he must be good.
Those 2 are both filthy. Rodney has a great feel for changing speeds
and mixing up his pitches, and throwing breaking balls for strikes.
Its understandable why they were so comfortable dealing Farnsworth last
season.
Leyland knows what he's doing with those guys. Jones won't be the
closer much longer. I was listening to the Tigers broadcast on the
radio last night and it was very interesting. Their radio guys are
pretty sharp - the were talking about how Rodney even with good
numbers last year couldn't be trusted because he was so inconsistent
but not this year so it's just a matter of time before Jones is a
spare part if not gone. One other really interesting thing they kept
talking about was how last year when he was in Detroit they NEVER ONCE
saw Farnsworth lose his control like they did last night and that he
was throwing 4 or 5 mph lower then when he was Detroit. I guess he
understands the pressure he's supposed to be feeling? Didn't you think
Torre's quote about Cano and Melky was really odd? "They don't
understand the pressure they're supposed to feeling". You can't
complain about being tied for 1st place with RJ being horrible, the
entire outfield being injured plus Posada and now Jeter too. But it
seems Torre is a self fulfilling prophesy about this can't handle NY
nonsense/pressure. He keeps talking about it with A-Rod and now he
seems disappointed that the rookies aren't pressing more? Very
strange.....
