Palehosefan Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 AJ, Pierre, and Alexei are basically the worst at their positions so far this year. Tough to overcome at least a third of the lineup being totally useless on any given night. But then plugging Kotsay at DH overcomes all the other obstacles offensively.

gatnom Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 16, 2010 -> 07:02 PM) No kidding, Pierre's basically useless without his speed. Probably the worst everyday starter in baseball if he can't be an extremely above-average runner. But, but he's a lifetime .300 hitter! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting Gonzalez won't make up for AJP, Alexei, Pierre, etc. How absurd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you think this team is one bat away from being a WS contender, then you have a lot more confidence in Pierre gaining his speed and AJP not showing the typical wear and tear of catchers.

I think Gonzalez is good, but he's not going to make up for a lineup of below average hitters. And considering the holes this team has and how awful the farm system is, good luck giving Gonzalez 8 years, 180 million dollars and having any talent around him.

Flash Tizzle Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 If there's one benefit to facing Talbot is that he's atrocious. We're just two hits away from tying this. He is someone we should have in our minor league system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the time you don't even sound like a Sox fan. I don't think most of the pessimism comes from the start. It comes from an offseason of terrible moves. Oh, and 2 moves at midseason last year that have not gotten off to a good start. Edited April 17, 2010 by jphat007 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the time you don't even sound like a Sox fan. I would have said the same thing before this season. This lineup just can't contend in the American League. For some dumb ass reason, Ozzie thought he was smarter than every other front office in the AL. The Sox rarely very have players just come out of nowhere and have big offensive seasons. There were so many "we'll have a good offense IF" coming into the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capn12 Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 .211 .268 .237 .212 .143 .238 .212 .147 .217 Thats the averages on this lineup this season after tonights 5 innings.
