NICE!

 

Out of the inning!

You mean he might just have an attitude problem and be uncoachable (like his dear friend) and not prepare well enough?

 

Oh!

 

PS: there are lots of guys who can hit in the minors and then blow in the major leagues. He's one of them.

 

I'm still waiting to hear where he's unwilling to be helped.

I don't care if Dye belts 40 again and drives in 115. I want no part of him next year or in the next few years. He's slow as hell now and I don't want him getting slower and older in the next three-five years here.

I say it because no one else will.

 

If he's to fix his career he's to make serious mental and physical adjustments that he hasn't shown himself capable of making in the last year.

 

And the problem is I don't think Ozzie will give him that chance. It's not a knock on Ozzie. Anderson sucked last year, and him and Ozzie clearly don't see eye-to-eye.

Vazquez looking good, nice K's.

Which a lot and lot and lot and lot and lot and lot and lot(you get the point) of young players don't realize and aren't capable in a whole 400 ab's.

Good Inning, Javy!

 

I love it that we keep s***ting our pants in the first inning, only to get dialed in thereafter...

Put him in LF.

i think hawk's man crush on reggie sanders is spreading to dj as well

 

 

I think DJ's humoring him.

 

When Hawk's gone, DJ gets a lot smarter.

An outfield of Erstad, Rowand and Dye sounds fine to me.

 

oh yea, i'd take that.

 

 

wonder what they would want for Rowand. Anderson and who else?

I still have my eye on Baldelli. Too many OFers for that team. I wanted Dukes until you and Cheat informed me about his problems not only off the field, but with his teammates.

 

In fact, I wouldn't be totally averse to sending Dye to a west coast team for a pitching 'spect and then sending that 'spect and some of our lesser arms to Tampa for Rocco.

 

 

They could probably send Dye to the Angels for Saunders and Willits/Aybar and then flip Saunders to the D-Rays with someone to get Baldelli....

 

Another idea would be to get Kotchmann, McPherson or Morales on the cheap, and put Fields in LF.

Haha, I love people who believe minor league stats mean nothing when there's evidence contrary to that.

 

That being said, you (not you specifically) had to be dumb to think Brian was going to hit .270 last year. He struck something like 130 times in his last year in AAA. He seemed to finally adjust around the halfway point of last year, but Ozzie still felt it necessary to platoon him despite the fact that (around the halfway-to-three-quarters point) he was hitting righties better.

It's conjecture. Sitting around watching TV instead of reviewing pitchers; all of the buzz about his attitude from Ozzie; the buzz about Brandon that he was "uncoachable"; the fact that he hasn't changed in a year.

 

It's clearly mental as well as physical.

Good Inning, Javy!

Love's a little strong don't you think?

You put Anderson in the Texas hitting coaches hands for a few months, and we are looking at a different hitter. Hell give him to the Twins and he would look like a stud.

Remember that game that DJ announced for FOX? he did an excellent job, way better than when he's in the booth with Harrelson

I miss Gload

Shocking result from Crede.

1 down.

 

Gload's having an adventure in LF.

I'd love to have Rocco, but he really seems to struggle staying healthy. He seems like one of those guys who is going to lose his speed sooner rather than later.

 

Well, he'd have two factors working for him here. First, the Sox tend to do a very good job of keeping injury-plagued players healthy, and he wouldn't be playing on turf everyday anymore.

oh yea, i'd take that.

wonder what they would want for Rowand. Anderson and who else?

 

 

Heath Phillips or Haeger? LOL.

 

Maybe we could throw in Lopez, Rogowski and Angel Gonzalez while we're at it.

Shocking result from Crede.

 

And the typical DJ, "Just lifted into the outfield..."

i love rob's hustle.

Mack safe at 1st.

 

Pena's throw brings Shealy off the bag.

And the problem is I don't think Ozzie will give him that chance. It's not a knock on Ozzie. Anderson sucked last year, and him and Ozzie clearly don't see eye-to-eye.

 

He's had chances to show improvement and he hasn't shown any IMO. Even when he had a good month (July, August) he didn't look any better.

 

You know better than that. He's bad.

Right. I disagree. He didn't look different at all. Still same poor approach and swing, IMO, and he went back to form in September.

I've long said that I wouldn't bet against him if sent to Texas. I don't buy that he'd succeed in Minnesota, though.
