Willing to bet 3 or 4 of those hits came in the first week TBH.

 

I'm thinking that too. He racked up a solid number (solid for him) of RBI's then I believe.

Vizquel would wear down if you played him that extensively and Teahen's probably worse than Quentin in RF.

 

No thanks.

 

The only good thing about this is PERHAPS Teahen wouldn't be trying to steal and getting thrown out as often as Pierre.

 

 

 

Maybe things are turning around with Dunn.

Yankees' announcers have the idea he's struggling because he hasn't adjusted to DHing after playing in the NL for so long.

Meant left field for Teahen and I'd let Omar prove that he would wear down because Juan is killing this team.

He's struggling cause he's diving so far out over the plate, his head is moving an insane amount and he's losing the ball at about 55 feet. It's why when he does make contact, he's hitting a lot of lazy pop ups to left field.

You're very much right. He opened the season on fire.

Teahen has looked better at third but maybe in the spring they noticed that he still sucks.

 

Putting the defense behind Buehrle is not important as it once was as now he is throwing batting practice.

Still, with our pitch-to-contact staff, having Teahen (aka Kevin Reimer/Josh Fields) in LF and Quentin in RF, he'd let just as many runs in as he'd create offensively.

 

 

Off-topic, but what the hell has gotten into Jeff Francoeur? I used to love making fun of him.

Yeah, cause Pierre has been amazing in LF.

Another ugly showing for bats.

ho hum

Our hitters just have no plan at the plate. Did Konerko really not think he was going to get all sinkers with a man on base? I laughed when Farmer thought our hitters would have an advantage cause a lot of them played with Colon on the Sox.

Which is what hitters do when advanced scouting reports say they're having trouble catching up with the fastball.

 

He's overcompensating?

 

Just a guess, I haven't been able to watch him at the plate since after the appendectomy.

.343 BABIP helps.

I think he is finally starting to show his promise, now he will go 0-26 since I said that.

Thii offense sucks I do not care how many hits they are getting now, they have three legitimate hitters in their line-up right now and can not generate anything.

What is Gordo's problem?? He seems to be starting way late and secondly it seems he's thinking WAY too much up at the plate. At some point the guy just needs to react like he did in 2009 and we got a #2 hitter...ughhh

It's not like Juan has been a great outfielder this season TBH and if you remember some KC highlights of a couple years back, Teahen probably would have the strongest outfield arm on the team, not to mention with Rios in CF at our park you can deal with some subpar D at the corners, and in 2007, Teahen's only full season as a right fielder he posted a 9.4 UZR.. not exactly bad.

Yeah, cause Pierre has been amazing in LF.

 

 

Well, if that's the plan, just stick Viciedo in LF and let Vizquel lead off, playing either 3B for Morel or 2B for Beckham.

 

It doesn't matter. Or stick Ramirez at the top of the line-up to get him more fastballs.

 

I would say Rios but not with how he's going now.

 

Having watched Teahen try to play 2B and RF in KC, I'd rather have Lillibridge in the line-up (as an outfielder) than Teahen.

Lineup positioning simply does not get people more fastballs.

Remember when Sox fans, myself included, wouldn't have traded Gordon for anything outside of Pujols? Yeah, I miss those days.

It did in 2005 when Pods and Iguchi were working together.

Yep, now he's the Gordon Beckham of the 1st half of 2010 once again and it's ugly...I am starting to have serious concerns whether or not he'll make it as a big leaguer now, really

Interesting that Smoak and Brett Wallace have flown past Beckham this year, as they were in the same draft and were guys we were interested in.

His stance looks different, swing mechanics has changed. I would venture that he has been "fixed".
