QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 19, 2011 -> 06:45 PM) Why? Ozzie would just bench him. Paint him brown and say he is 35.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 19, 2011 -> 10:34 AM) The Yankees will laugh at you. Loudly. For Danks? If you're trading him you ask for a s***load.

If they decide to add a piece and try to win, I think #1 on my wish list would be David Wright. Not saying we could get him because I realize we don't have the chips, but he would just look so nice at 3rd..

Obviously, if this is the case, you get a bidding war between the BoSox and Yankees for either EJax or Danks.. if they offer up something for Danks you can't pass up you take it and smile, but if they're both going for Jackson you're sure to get something usable. Montero or Reddick are both nice starting points from either club.

JFP !!!!!

Definitely makes sense to bench Morel after his best game of the year since McPhearson got a hit and all. Go Oz!

It would be a nice statement to win both and try to do it convincingly to enforce that we are actually good and that they are actually bad.

QUOTE (Knackattack @ May 17, 2011 -> 04:00 PM) They're going to win.

They're going to win.

What a stupid f***ing year.

Watch them resign him lmao

Why is Pena warming up when we're only down 2 /sigh

Anyone trotting Pierre's choice of facial hair into the outfield is going to get boo'd

QUOTE (justBLAZE @ May 15, 2011 -> 02:58 PM) Kenny will have to release him soon. There is no excuse for this guy to take up a roster spot. He won't.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ May 14, 2011 -> 01:51 PM) His throwing day perhaps? Would sure hope so, but I remember reading an Ozzie comment saying that if it had been like 3 days since they pitched they would be bullpen options with the 6 man rotation.

John Danks warming up in the bullpen? This is just stupid.

No reason to rush Gavin back in when he pretty clearly isn't right, we have 6 f***ing starters and we run him out there like this? His velocity was down and everything else was up. Jesus.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ May 12, 2011 -> 04:05 PM) His wOBA of .266 is the 5th worst in all of baseball among batters with at least 150 plate appearances. That's pretty putrid. wOBA, as I'm sure you know, ignores defense and focuses only on what an offensive player can control, much like FIP for pitchers. So even when people say the defense is a fluke, he's not contributing in any other aspect. He's a waste of a roster spot. Seems like a solid guy. Hard worker. But he's not good as at baseball. And something has to be f***ing done about it. Jeezus the f***er is bad. I think I would play a better left field than he has this season, and that's not even an exaggeration -__-.

QUOTE (Kalapse @ May 12, 2011 -> 03:38 PM) He turned that double into a triple not just with his weak arm but by playing the long carom off the wall rather than going to the corner and getting it, when you have no arm and maybe the fastest player in the bigs running the bases you can't wait for the ball to come to you 20+ feet down the left field wall, you need to go get it, that's just bad defense. The first hit off Peavy was also due to poor defense from Pierre, he got an awful jump on the ball allowing it to fall in front of him. The dropped flyball off the bat of Hunter was pretty brutal. Instead of trusting the track he slowed up to feel for the wall when he was still well out of range forcing himself to leave his feet on a ball that was not just behind him but a few feet to his left giving himself little chance of making the play. I believe it was game 2 that he jogged to a ball hit softly in front of him toward the line, a single for most outfielders he turned it into a double by underestimating Kendrick's aggressiveness and lacking an adequate throwing arm. Last year baserunners didn't take full advantage of Pierre's weak arm, the opposite is true this season, they're taking that extra base and the added pressure of having to get to the ball and get it in as quickly as possible is only going to lead to more miscues. It's super early so sample sizes are small but he's more than earned his -34.3 UZR/150 for the season (4th worst OF in baseball, ahead of a 39 year old, a converted catcher playing in one of the biggest outfields in baseball and Nate McLouth), -2.6 ARM (worst in baseball) and -1.1 WAR (worst in baseball). Lol he has literally been the worst player in baseball and is leading off for us. Awesome.

Lol goodbye baseball

Juan Pierre is a bad outfielder

Uh oh

JFP.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ May 10, 2011 -> 07:45 PM) I'd cry and probably never watch baseball again.

QUOTE (flavum @ May 10, 2011 -> 09:45 PM) Sox have to go 33-23 from now to the break to be 47-46. I think the Sox going 23-33 is a stretch at this point.
