The official Bellhorn thread

[yankeessuck013]

we are 16-6 without K-Horn.

 

No - I'd say it's no coincidence. Graffinino is exactly what this team needed. He's one of the good moves that Theo made during the season. Maybe not as big of an impact as the Nomar trade last season, but still a major piece of the puzzle! I appreciate the contributions that Mark Bellhorn made for us last year (especially some big hits and homers in the playoffs and WS), but 2005 is 2005, and we needed a change @ 2nd base. Tony G. has been terrific since we got him. Fits right in - and plays good "D" and HITS!!!

[yankeessuck013]

that was a great trade. Everyone kept saying, who cares he only bats ninth and blah blah blah. This is the Red Sox who can do damage with 2 outs any game, any time (as we did the last 2 nights with a little help from guess who-Graff!). Bellhorn was a momentum killer who rarely put the ball in play. Graff has been a great addition and I hope he stays where he is. Considering Bellhorn is last in batting average IN THE MINORS, it shouldn't be a problem. Another great move was getting Kapler back, pieces are coming together. Next piece is getting Foulke back and in form so Schill can start again.

According to a team source, one scenario the Sox are considering is to release second baseman Mark Bellhorn after his 20-day rehab stint at Pawtucket, get him through waivers, and then outright him to Pawtucket and call him up when rosters are expanded Sept. 1. Judging by recent remarks from manager Terry Francona, the team likes what it gets out of Alex Cora as a utility infielder, and Tony Graffanino has been solid as the starter. Heading into last night's game, his tenth with the PawSox, Bellhorn was batting .135 (5 for 37), with only two extra-base hits, one walk, and 11 strikeouts

[yankeessuck013]

only problem is i dont think he'll clear waivers Minnesota is still looking for offense and he may strike out a lot but they make want to try him.

[soxie thefangirl]

Exactly.

[sarasoxfan]

so?

[yankeessuck013]

so then that plan wouldn't work

[soxie thefangirl]

Yeah exactly. They want Bellhorn here, but if he doesn't get through waivers they won't even have that option.

[riverside sluggers]

17-6 without him---back to being hitless really in Pawtucket going 0 for 3 tonight with 2 Ks, 2 walks and a run scored---now through his 11th game in rehab assignment is batting a paltry 5 for 40 (.125 avg) Double, HR, 5 RBIs, 5 Runs, 3 Walks, 13 Ks

[riverside sluggers]

Bellhorn um yeah with last nights game he went 0 for 5 with 2 Ks

 

12 games batting 5 for 45 (.112 avg) Double, HR, 5 RBIs, 5 Runs, 3 Walks, 15 Ks

[riverside sluggers]

im just updating to let u guys know whats going down in Pawtucket through 13th game of rehab.

 

Yesterday in the first game of a doubleheader, Bell had gone 2 for 4 with 2 Runs scored, a Walk, and 2 Ks. in second game had gone 2 for 5 with a Double, Run scored, and a K

 

overall is now 9 for 54 (.167 avg) 2 Doubles, HR, 5 RBIs, 8 Runs, 4 Walks, 18 Ks

[sarasoxfan]

yes, I saw that in the globe.soxie it's almost the end of the bell-around the horn era...I think it's time you purchased a black dress and prepare yourself for the end.

 

 

"Unless he is dealt this week, Mark Bellhorn could very well be designated for assignment when his 20-day rehab stint concludes Saturday. If that is the route the team chooses, it's expected that Bellhorn would clear waivers. However, even if he did, he would then have the right to elect free agency. Bellhorn is hitting .167 (7 for 50) with 16 strikeouts and 12 total bases ."

[soxie thefangirl]

Haha. It's okay. I'm fine with it. I've moved on, haha.

[yeszir]

Haha. It's okay. I'm fine with it. I've moved on, haha.

Your allegiances sure have changed quickly, soxie.

[riverside sluggers]

ah i think Tony G has now taken ahold of Soxie

[sarasoxfan]

"quickly"????

 

come on, that's not fair. the poor girl has been defending this stiff since the beginning of the season.

 

if anything her loyality bordered on delusional and she hung in there through constant insults and complaints about her boy.

 

In my book she gets the annual Helen Keller Fan award for blind loyality.

I hate to resurrect a 4 year old thread but where is Mark Bellhorn playing these days?

[Cocos Disciples]

He last played in the bigs for the Reds in 2007, and now he's in the Rockies organization.

[msubulldogs21]

GOOD LORD. This thread is obviously before my time, but 56 pages? Must've been some epic Bellhorn talk going on.

most of it was about his chops

[schillingouttheks]

Holy s***, I forgot about guybo.

[mike16v]

He has his moments' date=' sure, but I get soooooo frustrated with the guy. It seems like every time I turn on the TV he's striking out or grounding into some form of double play. [b']And he hit .191 in the postseason last year[/b].

 

Quite possibly the worst post i've ever seen. FRAUD FAN.

[BoSox21]

That's good, Mr. 3 posts. Call the guy who runs this board a fraud fan.

Let's not bring board cred into this. Bellhorn was one of the only reasons we ended the 86 year drought. Those who do not pay their respects are fraud fans.

[8LayersOfShit]

I'll agree with that. Bellhorn can do no wrong.

[Dipre]

Obvious dual-account troll is obvious.

[italstallianion]

Mark Bellhorn is probably at home touching himself knowing that people are still talking about him on Red Sox boards. Seriously? Talk about a dig.

I'm sure that he has people to do that for him.

Incorrect assumption is incorrect.

Like you and that "other dude".
