I still remember that Sox did that with Ruffcorn, the untouchable prospect. They'd call him up to pitch against the Indians. Most of the league didn't like pitching against them so why not have a minor leaguer do it.

That has sort of backfired lately. Some are thinking wildcard or possible division. None of that talk existed back in the offseason. It's odd.

We knew that before the season started. Plenty of baseball teams are like that. The other side is look at their run production.

Players probably hate when they get hit. I can understand that.

WOW BASEHITTING A TEAM TO DEATH

Not being able to score 6 runs use to be frustrating.

Odd there's a Friday day game in MLB. They are getting pasted by the Giants.

Anyone ever think that having 3 100 loss seasons give you the luxury of not hurrying back players?

I had to go back to the first page to remember what this thread was about. I remember JR saying when he promoted Getz, "we have to getter quicker". I know it's premature but is he right? My dopey theory is the current team has younger players that know someone on the farm can replace them. It wasn't really like that before. Injuries happen and teams that trade tomorrow for today get in trouble when that today player gets injured. Then you have to play the sign the DFA guy. At least with Mune out you brought up a guy who was raking it in AAA as opposed to just getting a body for the roster spot.

I guess it depends on expectations. Some think post season in a really bad AL. We will see the difference between a young team and teams with established veterans.

that would be another Robert for Acuna type trade.......hoping for a team to take that salary and don't care what they get he'll probably be put on waivers which doesn't really mean anything sure dump him for anything if it looks like another 100 loss season but he really hasn't hurt the team

I didn't see the game but I have to ask what got into Fedde that box score looks odd

This is post of the week.

It almost too late in the season for that. If they lose 90 which could be possible at least we watch games to their completion. Losing 90 is possible due to injuries. I say this only because look at where some of last year's postseason teams are at. Stuff happens.

I got to watch him in the Fall League. He was my favorite player. He made some great plays. For me it is kinda cool to see a Fall League player promoted in such a short time.
