You are ignoring who these guys are. You are taking a small sample size of less than a couple of dozen games and ignoring what kind of players they are. This is what I saw when was in Fenway to watch the Yankees. The Yankees were a team stocked full of studs all over the diamond and in the bullpen and I looked to our side and I saw a makeshift bunch of rag taggers. We have three star players surrounded by posers. That's reality, and it is the same reality when we play Texas and Detroit. We don't compare. I am rooting my ass off hoping this team can stay in the fray until our guys come back from injury, but when we turn our backs on guys that are really good hitters who are free like Abreu in favor of garbage like DMac, I have to say WTF.

Career OPS vs RHP: Ross .730, Byrd .742, Abreu .926. That's why.

I think some people are really going into homerism. People need to take a step back and look what we are rolling out as a team: Mike Aviles- KC reject DMac - AAAA player Sweeney -- throwin on trade for Reddick-- He'll hit under 10 HRs Punto -- a pudgie old utility IFer who can't reach first base from third base Marlon Byrd-- in his best days he was okay, but on the other side of the hill Salty-- An adequate catcher Ross-- A nice role player, but not a full time OFer Amongst all this, we have three bona fide stars-- Pedroia, Ortiz and AGon. If two out of 3 of them don't hit every game, we will have trouble. Add to this the fact that we have an atrocious pen, and this team needs help in many forms and shapes. This attitude of waiting until guys gets healthy will keep us in last place.

If it's a free bandaid, why not, especially when a bandaid is all that's needed?
-
We are getting beat by a s*** team that got a really good pitching performance tonight. Ortiz can't carry the rest of them on his back every night.
-
DMac is a piece of trash. A couple of games ago people were wondering if he had incriminating pictures of John Henry. By all means let's stick with a LF platoon of DMac and Lars over Abreu.
-
When is Kalish coming back? The idea is to fill in the gap until Ellsbury and Crawford come back. Kalish will not be back before Ellsbury or Crawford.
-
Abreu is an .877 lifetime OPS. DMac's advantage against lefties is inconsequential when he has him by 160 OPS points.
-
DMac vs. Abreu in a wheelchair and I take Abreu.
-
...or we can stick it out with DMac and show him some commitment.
-
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.
-
If Lars can be trusted with a glove in LF and AGon with a glove in RF, Abreu can find a fit.

Heads up move by Punto avoiding the runner for the easy tag out for the third out and making the throw to first.
-
Punto can barely reach 1B from third.
-
All this talk about conditioning is a little misplaced with a chubby old utility infielder batting.
-
-
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.

-
Part time player in a full time role.

Belt high change up and Salty stared at it.
-
That is evidence of what Ted Williams used to say about pitchers-- they are the dumbest animals on earth.
