Pick him up Dunn!

Brent putting some good swings on the ball, but strikes out looking .

Last season with the HR was a fluke. He's a glorified pinch runner. He strikes out as often per AB as Adam Dunn.

Is there really an improvement to this team if Lillibridge replaces Morel?

I want Brent to hit.

 

We got that more than we should have last season...get used to this.

Well at least you're playing a guy who you don't know if he's bad with 100s of consecutive at bats instead of a guy who certainly is bad with full time at bats.

The small amount you might gain offensively with a little more speed, you lose defensively. Its a wash at best. The Sox have to see if Morel can play everyday. They know Lillibridge cannot.

Sox proving they can strike out just as often vs. Minor League pitchers...

Should of got more than 1 there.

Well thank God Santana throws the ball into center field so often. We would have zero runs at this point.

Might be wise to consider moving De Aza down in the order and Beckham up.

Humber hit parade continues.

It would be nice to use Lillibridge against LHP more. The way he's been used this year is just ridiculous, in my opinion. Hell, platoon him with De Aza.

I feel lucky we got the one.

the f***?

And leadoff who exactly?

You mean the combo of Lillibridge vs RHP or Alexei in the 2nd spot doesn't excite you? If Fukudome is playing, he should be batting 2nd. It seems Ventura is too concerned though about not grouping the lefties together.

Umm....what evidence is there to suggest Morel can play everyday except for a stretch of 6 weeks against mostly rookie pitchers?

 

Neither option is good, but Lillibridge gives you speed and some pop. Morel good but far from "great" defense overall.

how was that not another jack

the f***?

 

I think his intent is for de Aza to bat with men on. I don't necessarily agree, but I believe that was the point

He did hit a lot of homers last year, but Lillibridge has never done anything else but strikeout a ton. I really don't understand the fascination with him. If Gordon Beckham put up the same numbers, people would be calling for his head even more than they do now.

Awesome

 

SB - G Beckham (2, 4th base off Z McAllister/C Santana).

Solid success in the minor leagues at every level despite being pushed upward very aggressively?

Is this the definition of smoke and flares?

Right down the middle what is Humber's deal.

Humber has nothing
