There's he goes again, jumping on the first pitch near the strikezone. He's like Nomar minus the power and Tourrettes.
-
Which brings me back to my initial post. He's flawed, but there are still some teams who won't hold that type of flaw against him as much as they probably should. If they can do something to take advantage of that poor evaluation, then they should. I'm not saying they should trade him, return be damned. Just get while the getting can be good.
-
Of course he has room, I'm just waiting for him to start showing some signs of it. The next step for him is an improved approach. He'll have a hard time improving his numbers if he continues to play into the pitchers' gameplan.
-
What game are you watching? He's pushing long counts and grooving pitches regularly. Bad Beckett definitely showed up today.

Personally, I'm all for trading Ellsbury if he can bring back some on the corners or another effective RP. I'm of the opinion that he's going to continue to frustrate with the s*** he just did there. Eagerly chasing anything near the strikezone and hitting the ball a feeble 25 feet. He needs to learn how to only swing at hitter's pitches when there are no strikes in the count, and in three years, he's shown little improvement there.

Actually, only one of those is a fact. The other two are assumptions based on history. To go along with that fact, there are these facts..... 1. Ranaudo has not signed a contract yet 2. LSU's registrar is open to enroll in classes This is an assumption..... He will act like he has not signed a contract until he has done so. That, to me, seems fairly reasonable. Reading more into it, one way or the other, is guesswork and uninteresting to me. We'll really know what's up next Sunday.

I don't think 20 swipes is at all optimistic. He's already got 25 this year in the minors, and has swiped 85 in 360+ MiLB games, which is a rate of 38 per 162.

Big Lame got pounded today. He gave up six dingers to the Jays.
-
The hip could slow him down, but the rest is wrong. He's been decidely average throughout his career, not horrible.
-
There isn't a big deal, it's the correct utilization of the two players. I don't get why anyone wouldn't like this. If he's not able to play well, they are no worse off than they were yesterday. They aren't stuck with him for multiple years. He didn't cost any talent. He's an emergency stop gap for Youk.

Bob Davidson on his awful call in yesterday's Phillies / Marlins game.... The replay is clear. The ball hits fair territory before the bag, bounces over the bag, and hits fair territory beyond the bag. It's also clear that Davidson does not turn to see the bounce beyond the bag, and begins making his call with the ball in the air over the bag. Dude should get fired for this level of incompetence. Joyce owned up to his mistake. Davidson sees nothing wrong with what he did. He gone.

Yeah, and a 1984 Ford Escort is a car. But, I'm not buying one if I have more than $1,000 in my budget when I need one.
-
Wrong. MacDonald in comparison to Scutaro vs. Kalish in comparison to Pedroia. Try and keep up.
-
If Scutaro were left at #9 and MacDonald went to leadoff when he came up would be the corresponding example to what you are proposing now.
-
That's rich, frothy even. I take whatever responses my posts ellicit without complaint. The pussy is the one bitching and moaning when he gets some negative feedback on a lame, lazy post. You are real piece of work.
-
There's no oversell. It's as simple as I stated. I'm sorry you put so little thought into what you post that you have all these contradictory dangling threads that don't tie together all that well. I'm only pointing them out, and in the process, I'm calling you out for your usual tactic here. Waffle, hedge, parse, modify mid stream, etc. There's no tone or hostility. It's honesty, and it's correct, and that is why you are now playing the victim card, and I see right through it. There's nothing to think about for me, as I've already taken the time to do so before I post, so I'll decline your advice, but you might consider heeding it yourself. Thought rather than impulse might do you some good.
-
Strawman. I never said that. Try again. The advantage gained by splitting up RH hitters is totally mitigated by putting Kalish, a good looking young player who, per the topic starter of the thread, which was written by you, is likely to experience some growing pains, in the #2 slot over a proven productive player. Clearly you have some expectation that he won't be as good an offensive player as Pedroia is (the growing pains and all), so it comes down to this.....do you want a good OBP player who handles the bat well hitting #2 behind Crawford, or do you want a lesser (again, per your expectations) hitter who profiles to have a little more speed and doesn't hit right handed? It's as simple as that. The answer is obvious, but I get the sense that you are going to continue waffling here rather than swallowing your pride and admitting what I'm sure everyone knows here, that it was an impulsive, not well thought out point.
-
Don't phrase this as common knowledge. It's not. It's what you'd do, and with a productive player like Pedroia it makes little sense. Also, you put him there, per your previous post, in a desire to not get too one-handed in the lineup. Baserunning had nothing to do with your previous reasoning. Be consistent.
-
So you hit Pedroia 7th? Sorry, not buying.

Six back in the loss column. [/massengil]

I may have missed something, but where is it being reported that he's in Pawtuckett via his own decision? Rehab assignment decisions are usually made by the team. He's playing ball now, which means he's healthy enough to play. Where he plays is up to management, I believe. There's room to question how long it took him to get back, but I'd caution further criticism directed at him about where he's playing.

One, this is Anderson's first year in AAA. Two, he, like Montero, took a couple of months to figure things out at that level, but has put up an ~.850 OPS since July 1. Try to retain some factual accuracy.
