I am going tonight. Hope it isn't too cold once the sun goes down.

Yeah I normally avoid night games until around mid-May. Having a regular Mon-Fri job, the Saturday afternoon games are the best for me.

Twins didn't win their 3rd game last year until April 17th.

El Rockin would disagree with your post. Go Sox! Keep up the offense and improve to 2-1.

The Twins are not good at baseball. Win 2/3.

1. Tyler Saladino ® 2B

2. Tim Anderson ® SS

3. Melky Cabrera (S) LF

4. Jose Abreu ® 1B

5. Todd Frazier ® 3B

6. Cody Asche (L) DH

7. Avisail Garcia ® RF

8. Geovany Soto ® C

9. Leury Garcia (S) CF

Why is this Cody Asche on our team? Give Davidson all the at bats or anybody else. Leury Garcia is annoyingly bad as well

Who are you and what did you do with greg?

 

But seriously, I agree with this sentiment

Well, they both will continue to get at bats on a regular basis while one emerges over the other (one game sample size for each so far is nothing).

 

 

Ideally, they would both be in the lineup every day because a Frazier or Melky trade happened. Heck, even both.

Matt looked real good, but remember Cody was facing Verlander. It's only two games into the season

Maybe not. If they traded Frazier I would assume Delmonico would be recalled. The question then would be, who does the organization think has more of a future, Delmonico or Davidson. I am assuming options ultimately made the decision breaking camp.

I would hope Delmonico, as I don't think Davidson ever becomes more than a platoon/bench piece due to his contact issues.

Excited to finally watch a game

But we have a very large sample size of Asche MLB at-bats. We have next to nothing with Davidson. It can't hurt to make him full-time DH.

Cody Asche DOB: 6/30/1990

Matt Davidson DOB: 3/26/1991

 

There is less then a year separating these two players. As far as I'm concerned, they're both worthy of getting at bats for the Sox.

Asche has ~1200 more plate appearances than Davidson at the major league level and has proven to be Avi Garcia level bad. There is no reason to give him at bats.

And Davidson was amazingly bad in AAA.

Maybe Asche worked on his. It really is no big deal. They each will have an opportunity to show they deserve more time. Chances are the team rids itself of both by the end of the season.

Did you not see that Davidson bomb yesterday? He is going nowhere.

I once saw Joe Borchard hit one on the concourse. He didn't last very long.

Guys. They're both bad.
