Ramirez needs to sit for a couple days. He's on pace for -1.2 fWAR and his defensive metrics are the worst they've been since his rookie year. Sit his ass down and tell him that nobody on the team is guaranteed a spot every day no matter how long they've been here.
RV never sits him that is on him.

Actually Karl Heinz came up in a conversation a few years ago and a friend of mine told me about him. I just googled this article.
I can count on one hand the people who remember him now and I know at least 3 of them.

Here's some of it. It's 24 years old and despite what he says in the article, he hasn't come back.

Also off topic --- De Aza DFA today by the Orioles.
Any interest?
I'd think not. Not really adding defense or smart baserunning. I think I'd stick with Shuck.
Hell no to the lawn ornament!

Karl Heinz will never be in Chicago again. He owes a lot of people a lot of money.
Really what's the back story?

Adam LaRoche is 27th in baseball in pitches per AB, yet most here think he is useless. I couldn't care less about pitches per AB. I would like to see a stat where they are swinging at good pitches to hit. Konerko's grand slam in the WS was on the first pitch. Some of it is just what kind of hitter you happen to be. Taking pitches can work against you if they are in the zone.
Letting every meatball fastball down the middle go by and swing at every breaking ball out of the zone not working either.
It is almost June time to climb out of the bottom of American League in hits, runs, doubles, home runs, RBI, stolen bases, slugging percentage, OPS and total bases
