Id say 2.06 is around average... and yeah Dye is piss poor and he was apposed to be good with the glove not to mention all the extra errors he has committed.

 

Remember 2.06 is being done while not playing everyday so that can affect a player too...

 

2.06 is piss poor when you play at the wall.

I would rather forfeit the roster spot than have him on this team.

 

 

 

 

His Purpose is to suck

Timo should be gone as soon as Gload comes back.

I agree with you.  Borchard also gives you the switch hitting ability, which might make the opposing team bring in a new reliever, etc.

 

Trouble with thinking about bringing up Borchard right now is that if you bring him up...he's either on the big league club or he's gone. Borchard is on his last minor league option right now. So if we bring him up, and he keeps hitting .150, what do we do with him?

 

To put Borchard on this lineup, Timo would have to clear waivers. If we then were unhappy with Borchard...and say we made a trade or something...then we lose Borchard as well.

 

While Joe B. Hasn't shown basically anything yet...I'd still rather not lose that draft pick, just on the off chance he'll figure out how to turn himself into an Adam Dunn "I strike out all the time but still hit 50 home runs" kinda guy.

Do we really want to bring up a guy who's hitting .210 in the minors anyways? I'd bring up Greg Norton before Joe Borchard. Borchard is just another K machine like Dye but he would be even worse.

I could live with the 2nd coming of Rob Deere. I really could. He'd be producing more runs that Dead right now.

Look at Borchard's numbers for Charlotte and tell me you think he would outperform Dye.

Find me some players that are worse than him and are on a major league roster year in year out. Take as long as you need.

Josh Paul???

Statements like this make me laugh.............. then cringe.

His Purpose is to suck

You took the words right out of my mouth. And their is no better way to put it either.

i say we drop Perez and keep McCarthy in the pen and keep developing him there just like we did with Buerhle. He could be a long relief guy for the team. He could take Cotts place in the pen and let Cotts get his work in at AAA. Maybe he could learn a new pitch or further develop his pitches. Viz is struggling but I think he'll turn it around soon. Just get him some innings and build his confidence up like they are right now and he'll be good. So I wouldn't give up on him yet cause he is an important asset to the Pen. Finally, Bring up Gload!

I know one thing, I give Viz about 2 more weeks to get his stuff in gear, otherwise its Baj time. I think the Sox need to see what Baj can do before deciding whether they need to look outside for help at the deadline (in terms of relief).

I agree with that. Viz has sucked thus far. He is being paid 1 mil I believe. If he cant get it done, trade him or send him down. I definitely dont mind seeing Baj gets a chance. Maybe he can fill in well as a middle relief guy in our pen.

His Purpose=9th inning get us the hell outta here strikeouts. My hope=He Gawn.

Strike out for someone else in our team.

his purpose is to warm the bench

Chad Moeller and Aaron Boone (especially with the deal he signed) are worse than Timo, but with that said, his ass needs to be gone when Gload, Duke and Frank all come back.

Obviously to farmer snot when he gets to the plate.
