How does Javy look/sound?

icky

 

Hey good news, Glenallen Hill is still alive. Good to see.

You also spelled his name wrong. You're a complete mess.

haha thanks Kalapse, i think i'll come to your from now on when i feel bad about myself. you have a way of making everything all better.

Javy is starting to settle in, his throwing all his pitches with strikes and his breaking balls have excellent bite. Unlike the 1st inning.

That's why I'm here.

I haven't seen anyone mention this yet, but in today's Tribune, Ozzie said that Erstad will be batting up in the order and playing somewhere in the field no matter what. When you add that to the fact that Ozzie said that Pods is his starting LF, no questions asked, you get the feeling that Anderson is going to be a platoon player at best this year.

Javy's still leaving his fastball up in the zone, it has excellent zip but he's not following through.

 

Then he goes ahead and paints the outside corner at the hips for the K. Great fastball right there.

 

It looks like he's throwing real hard right now, it'd be nice if they had a gun going.

which is a mistake. i'd much rather see anderson get the playing time over pods frankly.

 

damnit Javy make the play or let the 2B make it

I think Brian already has his plane ticket to Charlotte while Terrero is looking for at apartments in Chicago.

Is that Jack Tripper in your sig?

holy s*** Javy boots another one!

Javy doesn't exactly look like a Gold Glover.

yeah actually you're the first person who's noticed!

Joe Crede enjoys playing defense.

That would be such a disaster. Terrero is a bad baseball player....at least Anderson can contribute defensively. If Anderson gets sent down to AAA, it further enhances the claim some of us have made that the Javy trade was the worst one in club history.

Wait, why is Terrerro making the club? Is there a story on that somewhere?

problem is at this point you have to do whats best for the club and you cant worry about whether that will "make previous trades look bad"

 

i'm not saying that Brian in AAA is the best option for the club but it seems to be Ozzie/Kenny's mindset

I've said this many a time and I don't see how it can really be defended. KW put all his eggs in the Anderson basket, trading away one of the top young outfielders in all of baseball (30-30 potential) as well as another starting CF all to clear way for a player who can't even beat out Luis Terrero for a roster spot. What a complete disaster.

The disappointing this was that many people were aware of Anderson's holes while in the minors. His swing/approach at the plate is just brutal, and I can't see how he'll ever be a consistent hitter in the majors.

Is there a reason why Anderson hasn't played the past few games? Outside of the obvious answer of course.

come on now Sweeney

When did Terrerro get a roster spot? Is there a story on him or something. Do you still have the link?

wow K looking with a fastball down the pipe... ugh

And apparently his attitude is also playing a large part in their decision to send him back down (oh yeah I'm making it a foregone conclusion) how is it that he climbed his way through the minors over the past few years and they couldn't get a solid grasp of what type of guy he is? How do you trade away 2 other CFs without knowing exactly what you have in Anderson?

Is it wrong that I just muted my TV?

Perhaps we can trade him to Detroit for Verlander. They could use the defensive upgrade on the mound.
