The Ginger Kid Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 no way I thought G would be around in the 6th inning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 When Pierre went back on the track, I had flashes of Podsednik and the ball that bounced off his head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 It's okay to take a chance on contracts if you can come up with league minimum guys that can perform - Humber, Lillibridge, Santos come to mind quickly. Jury is out on Beckham, Morel, Viciedo (not league minimum, but you get the idea). Even a really cheap Omar has helped out. Some of these under the radar moves may make up for the flops. Â If I had to choose one guy that would turn it around though, I think Dunn is most likely to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve9347 Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 QUOTE (JoeCoolMan24 @ Jun 1, 2011 -> 02:17 PM) Ortiz has 13 HR? Sheesh. He and Lance Berkman, among other "reborn" aging sluggers, make me definitely think there's something going around the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maggsmaggs Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 This team could be a hell of a lot better if Viciedo started in LF and Lillibridge in CF. At some point, you just have to play the better players regardless of age/cost. Heck, I would even put Teahen (when he comes back) at DH to see if he gets hot.

Berkman just had a bad 2010. In 2009, he was solid. Ortiz always screamed out user though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Way the Stealth Elf is playing, he should be the leadoff hitter. He has the speed that Ozzie covets and is just ranking. Pierre should bat 10th.
