  1. DMac vs. Abreu in a wheelchair and I take Abreu.
  2. ...or we can stick it out with DMac and show him some commitment.
  3. They cut him because they have Kendrys Morales and Trumbo who are younger and Vernon Wells and Tori Hunter who are more expensive. And they have another slick fielding CFer. He got caught in a numbers game with the roster. Speaking of #'s games, I think his #'sw at Fenway are pretty good.
  4. If Lars can be trusted with a glove in LF and AGon with a glove in RF, Abreu can find a fit.
  5. Heads up move by Punto avoiding the runner for the easy tag out for the third out and making the throw to first.
  6. Punto can barely reach 1B from third.
  7. All this talk about conditioning is a little misplaced with a chubby old utility infielder batting.
  8. It's not his fault. He is a very good platoon/part time player. He can get incredibly hot for extended periods. Right now, you are right that we have no other options. Howvere, Bobby Abreu is unemployed and always hit at Fenway. Maybe there is an option.
  9. Part time player in a full time role.
  10. Belt high change up and Salty stared at it.
  11. That is evidence of what Ted Williams used to say about pitchers-- they are the dumbest animals on earth.
  12. I'm telling you that we don't get low strike calls when he is catching. The umps can't look over his big lummox body. Compare how he receives the ball to Joe Mauer. Mauer is bigger than Salty, but gets very low to give the ump a good look. Pitchers had complained about throwing to such a big catcher for that very reason.
  13. Then he should be at Fenway playing 3B.
  14. Salty blocks the ump's view on the low strike. He doesn't get low enough.
  15. How does the weather look for tonight's game?
  16. Tazawa has options. They will probably wait to let Albers and Achinson battle it out for another week or so, and then one of them will get cut and Tazawa will return.
  17. ...and we are going to replace the middle of the order bat with a defensive whiz? I don't get it. Why not try the scorching hot Middlebrooks?
