    Has Cashman gone nuts?

    http://www.boston.com/sports/articles/2007/02/25/second_chance/ This article has a good bit of discussion about Pedroia's big swing. No one likes it. Jim Rice was the first critic of his swing last year. I am concerned that no one has worked with him to adjust his swing. Big swings are exploited by Major League pitchers. I don't know what he thinks he's doing. He's a midget. He'll hit maybe 10 HRs. They need him to have productive at bats and move runners along.

    There was a lot of damage to the shoulder. Doctor's are not sure how long he's had the damage. It's very possible that he was pitching injured in 2005.

    I still think it is possible that we get Helton in a salary dump for prospects, but not for Manny.

    It's always been a job. One of the reasons that Manny is so great is that he doesn't get caught up in the BS and hoopla. He prepares hard and approaches his AB's in a very professional manner. He may not hustle all the time and he may space out at times, but he knows that he is paid for his hitting, not his base running. He takes his hitting very seriously.

    http://www.rawlingsgoldglove.com/voting/default.aspx Yaz, Evans and Aparicio are the only Red Sox nominated. George "Boomer" Scott and Fred Lynn are conspicuously absent. Yaz was my hero, but even I was surprised that his range factor was more than double that of the other nominees, except for Clemente. Yaz's range factor was more than 50% higher than Clemente's

    Do you know how the cancer treatments will affect his stamina and abilities? I don't, and I am not sure the Red Sox know either. It would be very imprudent for the Red Sox to include him in their rotation plans for 2007, because they don't know if he'll be back at full strength and even if he is at full strength, he still hasn't proved that he can hold down a spot in a major league rotation. Anything the Red Sox get from tyhis kid in 2007 will be a bonus, but they should not be expecting anything from him or relying upon him in any way.

    I am on the same page with you. This whole thing has been blown out of proportion. ARod is acting like a whining wimp and Jeter is behaving like a petty schoolboy. They both need to grow up. We all knew that ARod was a self-absorbed whining wimp. The surprise here is Jeter's behavior. He has not acted like the consummate professional and team player that he is portrayed as being in his press clippings. He has not be magnanimous or supportive towards ARod. He has not comported himself in a manner that would be expected of a team captain. Captain Intangibles...not!

    He's got chicken legs like the Babe.

    I think he'll go to another contender after the season. He knows that NY is biased in favor of Jeter, and that no matter what he does, he'll never achieve the prominence he craves in NY.

    With the respect Jeter commands among the fans and in the clubhouse, if he had just expressed that the fans and media should be patient, because ARod is a great player that would helped ARod through his tough time. This type of statement that he continues to make is not the supportive act of a team captain. He is acting petty through this thing. ARod has not created any controversy. He's never asked to play SS. In fact, when Jeter couldn't play, ARod said he didn't want to play SS. He was staying clear of creating any controversy, and let's face it, ARod is more comfortable at SS than 3B and he's a better SS than Jeter.

    It would be nice if Lester were ready to hold down a rotation spot and give more than 4 or 5 innings.
  22. a700hitter
    I don't think ARod likes his treatment in NY--- Jeter has acted like a dick, Torre has turned the cold shoulder, a cheating fat loser like Giambi has taken shots at him, and the Press and fans have killed him. I could see him opting out after this year, and I would love to have this guy playing SS, his natural position.

    He's like Mario Cuomo was every four years as the press asked him if he would be running for President. He was a crappy governor with only one speech in his repertoire, so they stopped asking after a while. When they stopped asking, he started hinting at it to start the rumor mill. At least Clemens can pitch. Cuomo was a bum who made a politcal deal to get his half-wit son in politics.
