May 13, 200718 yr Whole bunch of guys did it tonight: Juan, Darin, Ryan, Logan, Aardsma, Masset, Sisco, MacDougal
May 13, 200718 yr I was worried about us going into the 11th w/Erstad having to play 1st base. I'm sure glad that didn't happen.

Erstad is a better defender then PK at 1st, and Terrero is no slouch in the OF himself. Also, Ryan Sweeney rocks your world.
May 13, 200718 yr Real nice win. 2 outs no one on in the ninth . Clutch hits by Erstad and Uribe then Dye in the 10th for the game winner. Nail biter deluxe !

May 13, 200718 yr QUOTE(Heads22 @ May 12, 2007 -> 09:46 PM) PK's been playing it for about 7 or 8 more years though. Didnt Erstad win a GG there?
May 13, 200718 yr QUOTE(kyyle23 @ May 12, 2007 -> 07:47 PM) Didnt Erstad win a GG there? He did indeed .
May 13, 200718 yr QUOTE(kyyle23 @ May 12, 2007 -> 09:47 PM) Didnt Erstad win a GG there? He won it for his massive bat. Darin's a great athlete

May 13, 200718 yr If you can resist f***ing with your IF defense late in the game, you try to leave it alone. That's just what I believe. I'm just more comfortable with Paulie finishing it off.

It's a non-issue for Erstad to go over there, Ozzie just doesn't want to move him out of CF to LF.

I know, that's why I suggested it in the game thread. What I'm trying to say is that Darin isn't a great enough 1B to be justified as a defensive upgrade at first.

I remember a few innings last year where we didn't score on three singles in an inning. No thanks. My only qualm is not using your best pitcher (Jenks) out of the bullpen in the Top of the 10th. Scioscia has the right theory there....shorten the game and don't give the opponent a chance to breathe. We by all rights should be 2-2 against the Royals this year.

What I'm trying to say is that Darin isn't a great enough 1B to be justified as a defensive upgrade at first. He won a GG there in 2004. Konerko's made himself above-average, but Erstad's still a better fielder.

Obviously you don't move him to first if you don't have to but if it's got to be done it's definitely an upgrade.
May 13, 200718 yr I thought Gold Gloves are a sham and mean nothing because Rowand, Buehrle, Uribe, Garland, and Crede have all been screwed out of one over the past 3 years or so.

Obviously you don't move him to first if you don't have to but if it's got to be done it's definitely an upgrade. Erstad is twice the first baseman Pauly is. I suggest you rethink that one. Pauly has pretty soft hands over at 1st.
