    Ortiz looked like crap against the AAA pitchers and he smokes their best guy Soria.

    Should we only discuss the deals that the FO actually makes? That would certainly cut down on the activity on this forum. Maybe we should also limit our discussion to the in-game moves that Tito makes and not the moves that he should have made. After all, we have no choice but to live with the moves that he actually makes... right?

    I acknowledged his injury problems about a thousand posts ago. That's why you could get a two-time batting champ for someone as cheap and insignificant as Aaaron Bates. If he was still Nomar, he'd cost a lot more.

    I think Nomar is the better player. Edit: It would not be a good situation at all having to rely on Bates in big games.

    I like this kid Bates. I think he is going places... hopefully, Toronto.

    Beckett is averaging less than 10 pitches an inning.

    One more double and then trade him for Halladay. He's moving up prospect categories.

    I hate when a piece of garbage pitcher like Chen shuts us down. WTF was the ball girl doing trying to catch that ball?
  14. a700hitter
    I hope he goes deep 3 times today and then he is included in a package that gets us Halladay after the AS Break.

    Bates should be comfortable against AAA Chen.

    Glove stitching broke.

    What was the reason for the visit to the mound?

    I would lump them into 4 categories: 1. Future Major Leaguers being groomed for the parent club 2. Blue Chip- Trading Chips--Solid major league prospects but not for the parent club. 3. Marginal major league prospects-- Guys that could be packaged with one or more other prospects to get a real major leaguer. 4. Filler-- guys needed to fill out minor league rosters. They have no prospects of playing in the majors and by age 27 or 28 they will need to find a different line of business. Bates is in one of the bottom 2 categories IMO.

    He is a retread, which is why they could get him cheap and why he would be a bench player. Prince Fielder is no bench player and the prospect cost for him would be substantial. In my opinion OPS, nor any stat for that matter, for a bench player is definitive of their value to a team. Nomar has a career .885 OPS. You are assuming that his sub-.700 OPS in 33 games is reflective of his ability? He has much more ability than Bailey or Bates. His experience and versatility would also be pluses.

    I hope he gets the ball in case he doesn't get another major league hit. Too bad he can't catch a throw to first base.
