I'm on vacation this weekend....it's too bad our bullpen isn't 100 pct.

The first place white sox are a big part of that, ginger.

Darin Erstad 7/26/07: .264/.311/.341

Orlando Cabrera 7/26/08: .268/.328/.355

 

To think, all we gave up was a starting pitcher and $8 million for this selfish player. If the Sox can get something at the deadline that they feel can help them more this year than the possibility of two draft picks (I'm hoping and assuming Cabrera rejects an arbitration offer,) I say they go for it.

Frankly...I think it's actually surprisingly hard to beat the value of those 2 draft picks in a trade for a guy without much time left on his contract.

DJ Carrasco in for Danksy.

OC had a brutal April. Erstad was actually pretty decent for a while, until he predictably got hurt.

inge always seems to come up big against the sox.

HAHA Ozzie.

Logan in to face Granderson?

Here comes Boone. Thornton would be perfect for this right here if he was available.

ozzie looks like an angry clown in that uni

Yes, sir!

Jefe the Clown don't play that.

I thought I'd never have to point this out again...No he wasn't. At no point when he was with the Sox was he ever "decent". In april he put up a .261 batting average and .688 OPS, and his numbers only went down from there. He looked decent because the rest of the team was struggling so badly that a .261 batting average didn't look all that horrid. He was good for 1 day, when he hit that opening day home run.

Octavio in after that Granderson single

Ugh, Logan is f***ing awful right now. Time to bring in Dotel.

Gotta pitch him inside. Can't let Boone face Placido.

Ok, "decent" wasn't the word I was going for. I mean he wasn't starting-caliber or anywhere near as good as all his strange fanboys thought he was, but he wasn't the worst player in MLB. I would've accepted that kind of production out of, say, the 8 spot, especially if you're not a starter (which Erstad should not have been).

I can't believe this someone is trying to compare OC and Erstad

I guess things like OPS+ and RBI don't matter at all.

OPS By Month:

Apr: .563

May: .678

June: .874

July: .597

 

June, not April, appears to be the outlier.

 

Send OC back to the OC

Common Octavio

Man I miss the bullpen of pre-July

guillen's going to hit a slam and we're going to be left shaking our heads thinking we had this game. f***!
