[riverside sluggers]

Josh Reddick has been sent down to Pawtucket, taking his place is Van Every

 

Red Sox acquired OF Jonathan Van Every from the Pirates for a player to be named later.

With injuries ravaging the Red Sox outfield, they have elected to bring back Van Every, who played seven games for them last season before signing a minor league contract with the Pirates during the offseason. Van Every will give them some depth while Jacoby Ellsbury is out and perhaps give Darnell McDonald a breather should he need one.

The bottom of that lineup scares me. Its not even May yet, and the outfield is composed of bench players.

[a700hitter]

Van Every had really good power before he got hurt and he was a good CFer too.

The bottom of that lineup scares me. Its not even May yet' date=' and the outfield is composed of bench players.[/quote']This is the second time this season where I can remember that the bottom third of the batting order has been the OF. That really astounds me. I remember when we had 5 guys in the OF who could thump.

[suns]

I don't like Van Every...He walked off vs. the Guardians last year.

[a700hitter]

How long are we going to be sending out a career minor leaguer and a piece of garbage like Hall to start games in the OF?

[ORS]

For as long as Ellsbury and Cameron are hurt?

[Northern Star]

They gotta get a move on with human cloning so we can have Ted back.

[Northern Star]

Good to see Lackey earning his keep so far this season.

[Northern Star]

that 1B ump is real flaky

[Northern Star]

orioles have ugly uniforms and the O hats are terrible.

Someone started sewing a Matsuzaka jersey and gave up when they screwed up.

Yeah, that name just doesn't seem right. It seems unfinished. I think he needs another vowel to finish the name, like Matusza or something.

[TedWilliams101]

Beltre would have made the play at 3rd and Hermida looks lost in LF. Our defense with the bench in looks very shaky.

[Northern Star]

Jeez, Hermida....

[Jasonbay44]

Hermida may be worst left fielder ever. WTF was that

[Northern Star]

Some hard hits off Lackey already

[Jasonbay44]

Lackey getting hit around

[TedWilliams101]

This team looks terrible right now. This sucks.

[Northern Star]

Hermida may be worst left fielder ever. WTF was that

 

Manny and Cliff Floyd were both worse.

[Northern Star]

soriano, too - lacksidaisical

[yeszir]

What is wrong with this team

[Jasonbay44]

Manny and Cliff Floyd were both worse.

I'd take Manny over Hermida defensively. Manny could play the monster at least

[Youk Of The Nation]

ugh

[Northern Star]

pitcher's best friend.

[Jasonbay44]

soriano' date=' too - lacksidaisical[/quote']

 

Soriano is definately worst... But point is, Hermida looks terrible defensively

[Jasonbay44]

Big double play
