Anyone want a stone cold lock?  Yoshida will be on the bench before Duran.

Yoshida is playing well.

Tolle has gotten better as the season goes on, so much for treating the rookie delicate and limiting his innings, let him work

He came up big today as the Sox really need a "W". Keeping the pitch count down and going 8 innings.

Sad but probably true.

So, it's not about the money we pay Duran.

0-4 today and still up 7th. (8th & 9th went 1-8)

1-4 yesterday (2-6 batters behind him) recent games...

1-3 Duran (2-5 8-9 batters)

1-4 (2-7)

0-3 (5-8)

0-4 (0-4) Duran batted 8th!

1-4 (4-8)

0-5 (4-7)

2-3 (1-5)

I had to go back 8 games to find one where he out hit the guys behind him. It's not like he was killing the ball before this sample: he was at .613.

The totals:

5-31 Duran

21-58 all batters below Duran.

Both have similar OPS’s in August and Yoshida is the worse fielder.  But he also has been much better than Duran from April through July…

Masa is 100 points better than Yoshida in last 28 days.

Yes, last 14 games about even, till today.

Duran was .567 in last 7 games before 0-4 today.
