Fixed.

 

How can you deny that Danks has sucked? Sure, he started off good, but that only means hes been THAT much worse to make his ERA over 5.00 at this point.

What pisses me off is Hunter should have never got a pitch to hit. He just destroys the Sox, and you have the human double play machine in Rivera up next.

Noticed that also, but he would have been safe. AJP didn't seem happy though with him. Fields just sucks and I can't wait until we don't have to watch him play for the Sox. It should be soon.

Lexi's got a cannon right? can he play 3B? cuz I'm not sure Beckham should. Sorry if this has been talked about ad nauseum

Yea I think the Navy Blue hats with stars and stripes logos they had last year were better than these red ones. That may have been the 4th of July though.

The scary thing is if Q goes on the DL, it only makes room for Dewayne Wise and Podsednik. KW f***ed up this past offseason.

Jimbo says:

 

Danks is having a tough year this year.

People were in love with Fields' homers and ignored all the other warning signs. Very low OBP, mediocre at best glove, extremely high K-rate. As I've stated before, in the middle of Sept. 2007, Josh was hitting .228 with a .284 OBP. Pretty similar to what he has now. It shouldn't be shocking he's not hitting .280 with 15 homers right now.

I don't think anyone expected Fields to hit .280 this season. A Troy Glaus type of player is not out of the question for him, and that's not the type of potential that you give up on when you have *no other actual solutions.*

 

As others have mentioned, Figgins will in all likelihood net Type A compensation after this year. To acquire Figgins while giving up that much talent is pointless, especially since this team has so many holes. Acquiring anyone in order to spot-patch an enormous gash is foolish unless said player will become a big part of the future, ala Peavy. Plus, none of our minor league 3B are ready.

 

There's no reason to pull the plug on Fields just to plug in something else that either hurts the team or will not help enough. Let the kid prove he's not a Major Leaguer, i.e. give him more than the months of April and May when tons of players struggle.

The Sox won't move Alexei from SS, that much is guaranteed.

I think they wear them for both. They probably went to red this year so everyone with a blue one would consider a new one.

Quentin's (re-)injury only guarantees us the pleasure of watching Pods start everyday with Wise/BA platooning.

Lexi's got a cannon right? can he play 3B? cuz I'm not sure Beckham should. Sorry if this has been talked about ad nauseum

 

Alexei played 3B (adequately) against the rays last year, at the cell, it was only an inning or so though

The scary thing is if Q goes on the DL, it only makes room for Dewayne Wise and Podsednik. KW f***ed up this past offseason.

 

let's just hope it's not a tear for Quentin. That would make this season go from bad to a disaster.

The Sox won't move Alexei from SS, that much is guaranteed.

so for Beckham it's either 3B or 2B?

alright in business again

 

Danks will just give these runs back so it doesn't even matter

How can you deny that Danks has sucked? Sure, he started off good, but that only means hes been THAT much worse to make his ERA over 5.00 at this point.

Pitchers that suck don't give up 2 ER or less in 5/8 outings. 3 bad outings through a month and a half and he sucks? Why don't we just trade him too? I'm sure Broadway or Egbert or Carrasco or Contreras can do much better.

I would bet if he's still struggling on June 1, he probably is going to have to look for apartments in Charlotte, and he'll only be able to blame himself. Its not like he's a kid. He's 26 years old with 570 AB a .299 OBP and 195 K.

Keep it going offense! We've seen some good use of speed by our quicker guys tonight.

Yep

Yea I think the Navy Blue hats with stars and stripes logos they had last year were better than these red ones. That may have been the 4th of July though.

I'd prefer if they kept the hats as the same color they usually are, but just change the logo on the front and back to the red, white, and blue.

Aybar was literally millimeters from catching that.

I think they wear them for both. They probably went to red this year so everyone with a blue one would consider a new one.

They will wear the blue on the 4th of July.

I absolutely do not want to trade Danks. He's having a s***ty year. He's young.

 

And he didn't look good against the Twins last week, even if he only gave up 2 ER.

JD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
