IMO Swi's problem is that they want him for his bat but he's at best the 3rd best fielder on the team at any position. So where would you put him?

 

You release the kid and let him have a shot with someone who wants his talent and actually gives the kid at bats

He won't ever get the chances it's over ....they think Sandy is better which is a f***ing joke .Release this kid and let him get a chance someplace else ...there is no shot here ..1 at bat every 2 weeks lol what a clown show for him .

 

 

Then the kid f***ING NEEDS TO SACK UP, & make himself a trade chip!

 

It's on him! I wish he had made it a no brained to let Sandy go, but he didnt.

 

Frankly, the kid doesn't seem that bright? Ever listen to him? He's no rocket scientist.

 

Reading between the lines, I don't think the SR trusts him to handle a game. I'm afraid C may have been an epic mistake for this kid?

 

Very good athlete, who can do it all. But, if he doesn't have the brain to call a game ? ? ?

As often as they are resting people, almost anywhere! He is not I repeat not a worse LFer than JD. He is still some sort of catcher and Leon hasn't hit his weight this year yet. If they were not resting people just way more than I expected this early in the season, maybe I could understand it. But they are resting guys constantly and still cannot seem to find a way to get Blake in games. Makes no sense. His bat will not be ready if we do in fact need it and that is the problem. That kinda' kills the "they like his bat" rational.

 

Have you taken a look at Sandy's numbers lately?

Thanks. It will not work on my laptop or phone.

 

It was working just fine an hour ago or something, probably it’s something temporally.

Velazquez has been an awesome pick up.

 

He's incredible...the guy has starter stuff !!! I'd seriously think about a forced DL for Pom and insert HV in a second .

I know. Sandy had a good string with his bat and now we're sitting around waiting for it to happen again. Ugh.

 

As it was supposed to work out Vaz was going to be our defensive specialist and Swi our catcher who can hit. I don't see Swi being as good defensively as Leon but he'd be better with the stick. But for some reason Cora (the FO) don't want him behind the plate. I'm just figuring that they know more than we do about that.

It would seem that Swihart made a case for a trade in ST. Maybe the Sox wanted too much in return. Hard for me to imagine that teams were not interested. There are guys in this league that can't hit the side of a barn with a base fiddle! THAT is probably what happened because you won't convince that teams were not interested off Blake's spring.
