So I guess this means Buccholz is definitely the 4th starter if the Red Sox get to the ALCS.

One day we are going to watch a World Series with 2 teams throwing nobody from their original starting rotation, either due to injuries or innings limits.

Ugh. That deal looks worse every second.

Yeah til you look at the year Esponiza had this year….not very good.
gmflores27
He’s 18 in A ball; while striking out a lot of people. So yeah not good
jrwhite21
Yeah but his ERA wasn’t good in either league. High upside, but as the Mets have seen, not a done deal.

Lol what is with people and their obsession with the almighty strikeout? Idc if a pitcher has zero strikeouts. If he gets results he gets results.

Because strikeouts indicate your stuff can succeed at a higher level. Quite obvious.

Pomeranz was a long term investment. We desperately needed another starter for next year and Pomeranz filled the bill.

Well that’s unfortunate. Hopefully Pomeranz can recover in time for the playoffs. He was fun to watch while he was a Padre. But I guess Preller saw the opportunity and took it.

Or he just increased his workload by too much. You usually want to increase innings no more than 30-40 a year. The Padres/Red Sox increased it by over 60

Flying by his single season innings mark surely had nothing to do with this outcome. Of course the Oliver Stones will point to two separate binders as the cause.. I will still take Andy Green acount of what happened to Dennis Lin as more credible than an unnamed source using words like hid, deceived and covered up.

The unnamed source in this article is only used to express the anger that the Red Sox still have at the situation. The facts that the Padres kept separate medical files – one for internal use, and an abridged version for submission to the league – has been validated by multiple sources, from several teams that have had dealings with Padres this season, by the MLB investigation, and admitted to by the Padres and Preller himself.
Yes, the Red Sox were taking a risk by bringing on a pitcher who was going to far exceed his single season innings total. And no, the Padres are not required by league rules to turnover full medical records to the acquiring team. They ARE however, required to submit medical records to the league, which is then used as kind of a “clearing house” for acquiring teams. This is where the Padres ran afoul by admittedly keeping their double books and why Preller was suspened and the Padres fined.

I Wouldn’t say 147 innings (2012) to 169 innings this year is flying by his single season inning mark, but the increase of 81 innings this year, nearly double last year surely played a part.
