5/10 vs. The Oakland Athletics

[Spudboy]

Reports are that E Rod will need at least two more starts in Pawtucket.

 

O' Sullivan has earned a second start and could get a third if he does well again.

If he cools off and if he really struggles against LHP, he might sit against LHP from time to time, but right now, Holt will lose most of the ABs that Young gets.

 

So hitting .494 against LHP isn't "really struggles against LHP"??? I think you ultimately agree with me. Because in our debate on the other forum I did mention this was an option to be entertained in July, as in...3 months from now if this trend continues. I'm not advocating the switch now. But given his track record in the minors with how he's handled LHP so far this year one should at least be keeping their eye on the situation. Perhaps that was lost in transition and you think I'm suggest Holt should play 3B right now VS. LHP???

If Shaw has bad numbers against LHP at the beginning of June, he might sit some times against LHP. I don't think it will happen, because he has a very good approach in his ABs against LHP. Also, I do not think that he will be platooned if he continues to be ours second best offensive player.

Hanley's HR will be talked about for years to come as a part of Sox lore.

I wouldn't call his performance doing well.
