[Spudboy]

Pedroia getting a blow.

 

Hernadez is interesting.

 

Let's see what cp176 is talking about.

 

Is he better that Rutledge?

[Station 13]

Anyone is better than Rutledge.

Is he better that Rutledge?

I saw Hernandez in Spring Training. I liked his tool set and his hustle and heads up play. I think CP176 was right about this kid. I also think the fans will like him when they see him play.

I saw him play 2-3 times while at Pawtucket last year. He is not Merrero with the glove but he is pretty good.

 

He is also not Merrero with the bat, fortunately.

 

We'll see if he gets enough playing time.

[Spudboy]

Rutledge may indeed be a AAAA player.

 

However he is good enough at both phases of the game to be replacement level. That is my opinion.

He runs pretty well too. He has major league tools, none are really plus tools, but some might be better than average.

[SoxHop]

Why is Young in today? Toronto has a lefty starting tomorrow?

 

Is this the "Knucleballers get no respect" syndrome?

[Station 13]

Where's owen? You just never know with a knuckleballer.

Hey - I'm happy for the kid. Not sure that he is an upgrade over Marrero or Rutledge. He might be the same player. I think that they are rewarding him for the work that he has put in plus they need to find out a little more about him. They are pretty well stocked with players like him right now. He is certainly stronger looking than he was last year. When I saw him in Portland, I was very impressed with him.

[a700hitter]

I like that Gibbons has changed his lineup from last year. The Jays scored a ton of runs last year, so he decides to mess with success and put Saunders in the leadoff spot. As a pitcher, I would hate trying to acclimate to the mound etc. when the first batter is Donaldson who can crush you.

[a700hitter]

In the first inning, Betts had a terrible read on Colabello's ball. That would have been an easy out on a night game.

[a700hitter]

Marco's first AB.

[a700hitter]

And in his second AB, he breaks up the no-no.

[a700hitter]

The kid manufactured that run.

They really should hire me as a scout. I would work cheap.

[Dojji]

Right is pitching very very well right now. Please get him some runs guys!

[TylerD]

One or the other with this team. If the pitching is on the offense cools off.

[a700hitter]

How many games will it take for it to dawn on Farrell that playing Young against RHP and sitting Holt kills the production of our offense?

[a700hitter]

Pillar can play CF.

[Dojji]

Wright through 6, good stuff. Not bad for a #5 starter. :D

[a700hitter]

He has been doing more than anyone expected.

[Dojji]

Myself included.

[SoxHop]

I guess Wright has been selected to be the pitcher that gets no run support this year.

The Jays feed mentioned that the Red Sox have yet to face a LHP starter yet. We've all given Farrell s*** about this, but if Young spent two full weeks on the bench, he's going to suck when they do put him in against lefties.

[Station 13]

noe Ramirez has no business being on this team.

[Station 13]

We face some tough RHP. This lineup today is ass though.

If he can't be ready to hit lefties off the bench after sitting, then he is useless to us.

[Station 13]

Tulo looks awful since he came to the AL.

[cp176]

They really should hire me as a scout. I would work cheap.

 

hey hey - little love here for cp(lol). If nothing else, he might be a piece of the big trade puzzle.
