I see where you're coming from but say the Yankees went out and got Hanley, who hits 30+ HRs out of the shortstop position. Damon doesn't lose any offensive value because his numbers are more pedestrian for LFers than CFers since the value is being made up at a less conventional position for power.
rly? a team with A-Rod in the lineup plays better than a team without A-Rod in the lineup? rly?
rly? Teixeira hits better with A-Rod hitting behind him than when Swisher hits behind him? rly?
thank God this thread was created, I now know more about baseball than I did 5 minutes ago
but how? six-man rotation? DL Wakefield to keep him fresh for later in the year?
I'd be curious to know what Bowden and Buchholz's real feelings are about still being in the minors
Penny's been arguably the Sox best starting pitcher in the last few weeks. the rotation isn't struggling because of what Penny is giving you from the 5 spot. It's struggling because the top two guys aren't pitching like the top two guys on a contending team need to pitch
