12 hours ago12 hr Remember when this team was almost in 1st place....that was fun.If I remember correctly, didn't the bullpen blow leads in most games against the Cubbies last season? Next week might be fugly.

Agree with everything you say in second paragraph though.
12 hours ago12 hr Author this pitching staff gave up 12 fucking runs, nice team you've built here Mr Getz lolthat little run they had was nice while it lasted
12 hours ago12 hr Sox fans look at Meidroth, a perfectly competent MLB player, and say how can we get rid of this guy? Surprised the same talk about Vargas has quieted down in the past week or two.

12 hours ago12 hr Hate to say it because I find him annoying, but Kelenic has looked fairly hitterish at the plate. Has hit into some nasty luck so far. Of course seeing as he has s%*# for brains I don't count on him maintaining any good level of play.

Surprised the same talk about Vargas has quieted down in the past week or two.Vargas plays a tougher position and provides power, something they desperately need. Meidroth doesn’t really do anything well. Would much rather see what Antonacci can do at 2nd.

12 hours ago12 hr Author Venable knows he has pretty much no options out of the bullpen for the rest of the series outside of Hudson and depending on the alignment of the stars, Grant Taylor and Dominguez

They would be great bench players however.

Would much rather see what Antonacci can do at 2nd.I think you underrate Chase's defense. I'm also pretty agnostic about how the production comes as far as power vs. whatever else. But I'm not expecting a lot of production from Chase whether it's from power production or not, merely good enough production for him not to be the weak link on the team unless the team is really good.
