The Twinkies are sure to lose their cream filling when they see that lineup card.

1-6, Not bad. 7-9, pretty horrendous.

Does Comcast look nuts to anyone else?

I think it being three in Minnesota and then back home for 10 days, he said "screw it. I'll see you Sep 11".

Nice throw JS cost you 2 runs

For all the praise he got In minors about time.

Another great example of the fact that guys who are raw can take some time to develop.

He definitely is/was a combo of rushed and injury prone. He made a catch last week that he dove and didn't have to. He just needs to stay on the field now.

That's baseball.

Engel is a terrible hitter. Big league glove, A ball bat

He's going to need to go back down next season and improve that bat at least a little to justify even being a backup outfielder in the Majors, no matter how elite his defense is.

I agree with you but I wish Sox fans would give our young players the same benefit of a chance to develop.it seemed at first Buxton was never going to hit.

You just start listing names. And don't leave someone out because you,me or a few others supported them. There have been some wantng Avi gone, Saladino and Leury gone, same for Sanchez and Anderson

Avi Garcia is a prime example and look at him this year. Just drove a double off the wall opposite way. His batting average is #2 in the league.

Its natural for fans to be impatient, especially if certain guys come tagged with certain hype (e.g., Avi in 2013 being billed as "Little Miggy"). More importantly, our fans are no different than other fans. Twins fans were just as cynical of Buxton up until this season as our fans were on the guys you listed.
