chetkincaid Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Hahaha the Rangers sneak in and get Cliff Lee from under the Yanks Rangers To Acquire Cliff Lee By Ben Nicholson-Smith [July 9 at 3:57pm CST] 3:57pm: The Rangers will acquire Lee and Mark Lowe for Justin Smoak and three others, according to Sherman (via Twitter). Lowe will miss the rest of the season with back surgery, so his inclusion in the trade is puzzling. Rosenthal confirms that the Rangers are acquiring Lee and says the Mariners are sending cash (Twitter link). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 (edited) Ugh, Castro needs to be playing against LHP! And Greg, still don't think they're trying to get #400 at home for Andruw? AJP is our starting catcher. He's not being held out against all lefties. He's not at that level yet. Castro is a backup. Let me ask you: Why do you get so worked up over this? You obviously want AJP to sit against all lefties and you are a logical man. That is simply not occurring this season. Why does that obvious fact bother you so much? s*** if we knock out Chen, then AJP may actually face more righties than lefties tonight. But you act like this is some burning issue. Ozzie is not going to sit AJP against lefty starters except when he needs a day off. It's pretty obvious so WTF makes you obsess about it? As far as Jones. No I don't think that's on their minds. Kotsay, who is a lefty, sucks as well, so somebody's got to play. I also hate Jones so we agree there. And why do you think the Sox NEED to get Andruw 400 at home? That makes little sense. It's certainly not selling any more tickets. Nobody in their right mind gives a f*** about Jones. Edited July 9, 2010 by greg775 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even worse against lefty starting pitching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is your stats are great, but AJ is the starting catcher. If they want to strictly platoon, then they should have traded AJ because he's not a part time player right now. And like I said, this is Chen we are talking about. If we take care of business he could face more righties than lefties anyway. I haven't heard a word about platooning AJ so I don't understand why this is an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You face righties, what, 75% of the time? That is more than a part time player if that is what we wanted to do. Castro is hitting the ball hard and contributing. He should easily play against lefties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
