Bucs solified their bullpen.. (HH2004) 야구2006. 11. 16. 18:52
The test result was terrible for the Bucs, which will cost Delgado's playing time to as much as almost 1 year.. So, it's doubtful that he can play next season... maybe he can't appear to the opening match.. It's really big red light for the team, which is trying to get on the train heading into the post season... We had only 4 run scored without him after he got injured.. We know we have great pitching staff.
But we can't accept any loss to achieve our goal of topping the first place in the division.
Trade deadline already passed, so we try to find out the solution internally, such like Roberto Petagini and Tike Redman..
Yesterday and today, Bucs' lineup tip off the hint where they are going to.. They moved Choi to the first base, his original position, and put Tike Redman into the left field. About the lineup, Carlos Guillen moved up to the third spot to replace Delgado..
Bucs manager Felipe Alou said "Though we lost leader in the clubhouse and big bat in the lineup.. I feel sorry about that. But also we have Pedro Martinez and Carlos Guillen as a leader in the clubhouse, So I think there's no problem about losing control. We are still optimistic to get another chance to end the losing streak and take the ticket to the 'fall classic', we are strong enough to do that."
After Bucs put Delgado in the disabled list, they added pitchers to their roster and strengthened the bullpen, the players added were Mike Timlin and Jeff Nelson, who both are veteran players having played over 10 years..
