Yes. But Burger isn't that bad at 3B and will probably get better with more experience. Moncada was supposed to be a 2B to begin with. And defense matters much more to me than it does to a team that plays 1B/DHs in the outfield and Catchers at 1B on a regular basis.

But don't we have a hole at 2B? And doesn't that "worst hitter in baseball" also play 2B? If they need to get the worst hitter in baseball in the lineup for some reason, why not use him to plug the hole at 2B?

Burger is pretty good. Tony should try to get him in the lineup every day. What's his best position again?

Then people shouldn't complain about the lineups. You can only play nine at a time.

Because LaRussa won't move Moncada back to 2B for even one game.

That's a satisfying win.

You are correct. I was just answering the hypothetical question posed.

If it were possible to get a bona fide good 2B for him, definitely.

That was one of the greatest plays I ever saw. I couldn't believe it when it first happened. If only Beckham and later Moncada could have given the Sox several years of '05/'06 Tadahito Iguchi production.

Nice DP.

Makes the most sense.

Let him fight it out with Moncada to see who wins the starting 2B job. The other becomes the utility infielder.

Burger is clutch!

Pollock getting back at his old team.

I liked him back when he was with the Sox.

I feel sorry for the hard working fans who spend so much money to take their families to a ball game and are treated with this crap.

LOL! Same shit, different day.

Then they'd lose 1-0.

Because he can.

The only problem is Hahn and the current scouting department would be the ones deciding on the prospects coming back. Otherwise, I'd be all for it.

Well what do you know?

Some insurance runs here would be nice.

He'd be as good as ever if he would just get this team on steroids.

I'm thinking he must have been positioned way over in the Left-Center gap. Otherwise, he's got some splainin' to do.

He must have been positioned in the Left-Center gap on that one because as oldsox mentioned he never came into view while AV was chasing the ball down back towards CF.
