Most likely, but it doesn't take a genious to know that a guy like Freddy Garcia pitches much better on the road than at the Cell. You can tell that just by watching his starts this season.

Yeah, I don't see how anyone could come up with anything different. It's pretty much common sense. Both Buehrle and Garland are groundball pitchers, therefore you start them at our bandbox known as the Cell. Freddy and El Duque are flyball pitchers so you start them on the road at ballparks that will most likely be worse hitter's parks than the Cell. Everyone knows how good Freddy is on the road and how mediocre he is at the Cell. Just look at these guys' splits and it's obvious what Ozzie should do.

Yankees: Robinson Cano Red Sox: Jon Papelbon Cano came in and started at 2nd base for the Yankees right upon his callup, replacing Tony Womack. Papelbon has started 3 games for the Red Sox and is now pitching out of their bullpen with the return of Schilling to their rotation. Both players are performing extremely well for their respective teams and both moves look pretty damn good right about now.

I don't know about the order but you would definately start both Buehrle and Garland at home and Garcia and El Duque on the road.

By the way, are you Hawk Harrelson? Would you rather have Aaron Rowand over Ken Griffey? But seriously, have you been watching Crede at the plate the past two seasons? I just don't see how anyone could defend him. His bat is so bad that he is a defensive replacement in my mind. I would never wish injury on anyone but sadly, if Crede is hurt and Blum replaces him full-time at 3rd base it would actually be an improvement to the bottom of our lineup. Joe Crede: .251 career AVG | .300 career OBP Geoff Blum: .253 career AVG | .316 career OBP And Blum was brought here to be a BACKUP 3rd baseman!

So because Bellhorn was DFA'ed, that somehow makes Crede better? Give me a break. Crede has worse stats than Neifi freaking Perez. If Crede was on almost any other team than the Sox he damn sure wouldn't be starting with a .239 AVG / .299 OBP last season and a .232 AVG / .285 OBP this season. Those are just godawful numbers to be putting up as a 3rd baseman. Saying that Bellhorn was cut THIS season over and over again doesn't make Crede any better.

LOL, Crede's past two seasons have been horrible enough that he wouldn't be starting on most teams in the MLB. His defense is the only thing saving him. Most guys with a career .251 AVG and career .300 OBP are bench players. Just to put that into perspective, Neifi Perez owns a career .270 AVG and a career .300 OBP. Yes, Neifi Perez is a better hitter than Joe Crede. How pathetic is that? :puke

Has Crede EVER had a season like Bellhorn had last year?

Bellhorn got injured with a sprained thumb and struggled to hit so he was placed on the DL. The Red Sox traded for Tony Graffanino as a replacement and he is currently playing way above his head so they have no need for Bellhorn now. Look at Bellhorn's stats last season for Boston. They also speak for itself. Bellhorn does not possess the glove that Crede has but he is damn sure better at the plate. Crede couldn't sniff the OBP that Bellhorn can put up.

:rolly :headshake :puke Ozzie sounds exactly like Dusty Baker talking about Neifi Perez and why he won't play young guys like Ronny Cedeno and Matt Murton.

Just think if the Angels had actually kept both Bobby Jenks and Derrick Turnbow. Their bullpen could have been even more ridiculous than it already is... Brendan Donnelly Scot Shields Bobby Jenks Derrick Turnbow Francisco Rodriguez That would have been sick.

He is supposed to have Gold Glove potential at 3rd base. The main shot at him is that he has shown no power. He hits for a good AVG and OBP though. He would be an upgrade to Crede in my opinion. I don't see it happening though. There's no way he would clear waivers and August 31st is the deadline.

At least when Hawk talks about how good the guy is pitching against us and how most teams would get shut out by him, it won't be a pitcher like Shawn friggin' Estes.
