Peavy's change-up looks good

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 12, 2011 -> 03:40 AM) Morel, power defense average. Aj average and fielding. Of course it's far easier to pay no attention to a players track record or ability and stress over right now. Which is why I conclude from the same standard that Dunn and Beckham are also no tool players Morel has power? That's news to me. AJP has fielding as a "tool"?

At this point, it almost seems it's in our best interest for Pierre to go 0 for his next 40 and make the decision easier for KW (and not Ozzie). Again, you can even consider an injury to him, as he's the anti-Peavy.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 12, 2011 -> 03:36 AM) "slumping" And when they're not slumping, what tools do they have that are above average?

QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ May 12, 2011 -> 03:35 AM) Really? Everytime I've looked it has been at about 91, which is 3-4 MPH slower than he used to be. He hasn't been at 94-95mph during his Sox career.

Productive AB by Teahen...not

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 12, 2011 -> 03:33 AM) Of course, that would be a moronic argument based on slumping players that only a fool would make And what tools would you say Morel and AJ have?

Was Chatwood a big prospect coming into the year?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 12, 2011 -> 03:31 AM) He's probably overthrowing the slider Aiming it

QUOTE (southsideirish71 @ May 12, 2011 -> 03:30 AM) Juan Pierre, the grindy no tools out maker who wears his mitt on his head. He makes Pods look like gold glover. If you consider that Pierre's speed is basically a zero tool because of how often he gets caught stealing, one could argue that 3 of our 9 offensive starters are zero tool players at this time.

Nice play by Alexei. Peavy's velocity is better than expected, but his slider has nothing on it.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 12, 2011 -> 03:27 AM) JP doing what he does. Paid to be bad at baseball. We have two players with more errors than extra base hits.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ May 12, 2011 -> 03:27 AM) s***, welcome to Chicago Viciedo. Ozzie's dumbass would never do such a thing. Better chance of Pods being our LF.

Get Juan off the f***ing field.

What a pathetic throw by AJP.

Looks like we won't face Kershaw next weekend...sorry J4L

No idea why Ozzie's so scared to try the hit and run this season

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ May 11, 2011 -> 08:12 PM) *sponsored by Bigsqwert So you're giving out free blowjobs on the concourse? Might want to change your name to BigSwallow

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 11, 2011 -> 08:12 PM) Yes, I do. Just like he wanted Pods out there in '06 when he was sucking ass. Just like he kept overplaying Wise. Just like he was fine with Mark Kotsay and didn't want Thome because he couldn't promise Thome at bats. Just like how he refuses to sit Juan for a day when he's clearly been one of the worst players in baseball. Ozzie likes bad baseball players. Why? Don't ask me. Cause they resemble how he was at the plate?

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ May 11, 2011 -> 08:59 PM) Ugh. The minute anybody brings up the idea of having a team of athletic guys who work counts and take what the pitcher gives them it gets lumped into this "we already tried this (with s***ty players mind you)" argument. Ugh again. Why always take the OBVIOUS dead-horse argument out of the archives, ya know? Is it because it's easy? I dunno. Do you people really think Ozzie wants JPs weak ass out there? Good Lord. Yes, Juan Pierre is Ozzie's favorite player in the majors. Last year, he said he'd bat Juan Pierre third if he could. As for saying he wants guys who work counts, that's false as well.

QUOTE (Jerksticks @ May 11, 2011 -> 05:34 PM) lol. If you think our guys are tough outs then you are entitled to that opinion. We've been all or nothing forever. I hope we turn it around this year, I really do, but part of me hopes Ozzie gets the team he wants one of these years. Are you freaking kidding me? He has the leadoff hitter of his dreams right now. I'd rather see Jose Paniagua pitching for the Sox again than see a lineup full of Ozzie's "guys".

Mets would say hell no. Wright and Reyes have a lot more value than that.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 11, 2011 -> 03:52 AM) I've never seen anything like this. How can one's player development be so inept? You look at Morel's swing, and you wonder how in the world our minor league instructors thought that would translate well to the majors.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 11, 2011 -> 04:48 AM) 5 errors on May 10th. 6

QUOTE (flavum @ May 11, 2011 -> 04:46 AM) What the f*** was that, Morel? I'm excited to possibly have a starting third baseman who starts 100 games and doesn't homer though.
