He then had to work his way back on the team as a reliever and now he is one of the best arms in the pen with an arsenal of good pitches. I wonder if he will be given a legitimate chance at the closers role. I really gave up on this guy after he blew that one game against San Diego when he walked 6 or so guys in the 1st inning without getting an out, but i really feel at ease when he comes into the game. Watch out! I hope sabean doesnt include this guy in any deals this winter. Go Giants! Does anyone else see this comparison to the beginning of Joe Nathan's career?

Kevin has good stuff, Joe had/has special stuff. 12/25/2006, 4:04 pm    Cain43 HALL OF FAME POSTER Global user Registered: 10-2006 Location: Sacramento Posts: 1145 Reply | Quote … Correia doesn't have a dominant offspeed pitch like Nathan does. 12/25/2006, 4:23 pm    asu9856 MOST VALUABLE POSTER Global user Registered: 10-2006 Posts: 844 Reply | Quote … Wrong. And Wrong. Nathan had above average stuff when he came into the league, nothing like he has now. And when Correia's change-up is on, it is dominant. I don't think he'll be like Joe Nathan, but he can be a good set up man for a while. --- E- "Could you get laid without Vince? That's the question." Turtle- "Do i give a fuck?

We're not talking about when he came into the league, we're talking about his return as a reliever in 2003. At that time, he had 95 MPH heat and devastating curve. 12/25/2006, 8:49 pm    TheMalcontent HALL OF FAME POSTER Global user Registered: 10-2006 Location: Gotham Posts: 2117 Reply | Quote Re: Kevin Correia = Joe Nathan I agree, we should definatly take a chance on Corriea as Closer, we always have Wilson to fall back on or even Blowitez. Many of the games best closers were failed Starters or were once Starters, Nathon, Gagne, Smoltz (wasn't a failed starter), Mariano Rivera. 12/25/2006, 11:16 pm    KrukKuipandClint PROVEN VETERAN POSTER Global user Registered: 10-2006 Posts: 237 Reply | Quote Re: Kevin Correia = Joe Nathan corriea has good stuff and i would love to see what he can do with the game on the line. He wasn't thrown out there a lot this year when it really mattered so i want to see if this will change things at all --- Victoreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! 12/26/2006, 12:55 pm    Xellos007 MOST VALUABLE POSTER Global user Registered: 10-2006 Posts: 589 Reply | Quote Kevin Correia = Joe Nathan I would still like to see correia get another shot at starting. If corriea has finally gotten control of his stuff. He would be pretty good starter. Nathan was sent to the pen because after his injuries he didn't have the stamina anymore to be a starter. Corriea isn't suffering formt he same problem. --- 12/26/2006, 1:14 pm    BruteSentiment HALL OF FAME POSTER Global user Registered: 10-2006 Location: Bay Area Posts: 1985 Reply | Quote Re: Kevin Correia = Joe Nathan Not that this necessarily means anything but Correia's splits from last year show he had a much higher BAA line when the game was 'Close and Late' (.289/.313/.467) than overall (.242/.302/.381). --- SFDugout.com - It's back!

I wouldn't really want to throw him into the fire quite yet either, but it's not like the Giants have much choice. It's either trust Correia in late and close situations, or trust guys with even less inspiring track records. 12/26/2006, 4:21 pm    Quick Reply Page:  1  2  3  Powered by AkBBS 0.9.5b  -  Link to us   -  Blogs   -  Hall of Honour   -  Chat Click here to get your own free message board You are not logged in (login)      Board's time is: 8/21/2008, 2:29 pm
