    I was listening to the Cardinal feed yesterday. McCarver agrees with you. I don't know if that makes you more confident or less confident in your position. BTW, I thought that McCarver had retired. I guess the truth is that he was fired by the Nsatioonal Networks and the retirement story allowed him to save face.

    He has almost 500 ABs and he has 28 RBI, but he does have a whopping 46 runs scored. Of course, we have been told that these numbers and his stats with RISP mean nothing.
  3. a700hitter
    E1 it is great to have you back, but we differ fundamentally about the intellectual prowess of managers.
  4. a700hitter
    0 for 26. Automatic Out Jr. is living up to his name.
  5. a700hitter
    Yuk. What a waste having him on the roster.
  6. a700hitter
    what was the correspondingly move for sending down Mookie?
  7. a700hitter
    The bottom five of our lineup against the best pitcher in the NL is, XB, Vasquez, Automatic Out JR., Middlebrooks and WorkMan. I am hoping for a rain out.
  8. a700hitter
    This season for XB has been like an octogon -- he's constantly turning a corner.
  9. a700hitter
    Fred, sometimes it is better to be lucky than to be good, and last season, Farrell had a boat load of luck.
  10. a700hitter
    He sounds as befuddled as he looked last night. Luckily, he doesn't manage in the NL or he would strain his brain.
  11. a700hitter
    He had such a confused look on his face when they were intentionally walking Ortiz. It was almost comical. He couldn't figure out where he'd gone wrong.
  12. a700hitter
    And he should be in AAA with the other 21 year olds.
  13. a700hitter
    He's brain dead. The minute that Napoli's ball went into the corner, Farrell should have called Ortiz back to the dugout. He completely wasted his bat in that situation. Nava should have batted for himself and then possibly pinch hit Ortiz for XB or Vasquez.

    What a waste of an AB by Middlebrooks. I don't agree with the bunt in that situation.
  15. a700hitter
    Holt earned the playing time.
  16. a700hitter
    LOL!! Sarcasm I hope. Plenty of patience buried us in last place. I would have kept Sizemore and sent Bradley to the minors. I also would have kep AJ who can hit a little and DFA'd Ross who in 2 seasons with us can't make it to the Mendoza line, plus he has had Panter Fasciatis (sp) all season long. But the problem hasn't been a lack patience.
  17. a700hitter
    LOL!! An aberration!
  18. a700hitter
    I could see taking Ruiz and Burnett. They would fill holes, but we probably wouldn't take Papelbon if we are re-signing Koji. If we take two of them and some second tier prospects, I could see it. We are not getting Hamels straight up for second tier prospects.
  19. a700hitter
    He's the most valuable piece that they have, and without him, they have no rotation. He will stay a Phillie unless he can fleece some team.
  20. a700hitter
    Then Amaro will keep him. That is how it will work if he doesn't get a major haul.

    When Craig turned his ankle in his first game, my first thought was that he might miss significant time. Afterward, I thought about whether the Sox had checked out the ankle. Our medical staff seems to miss a lot of obvious conditions. The more that I think about it I am more convinced that his down performance is directly related to the condition of his ankle. Ankle injuries can be devastating. Fred and Spud and maybe a couple of others remember Tommy Davis. He was a big prospect for the Brooklyn Dodgers who hit the majors with a splash in LA. He was a fleet footed OFer with all the tools. One season in the early 1960's, hit .340 or 350 and knocked in something like 150 runs. The next season he broke his ankle. He played for about 10 more seasons, but he never again approached being the player he had been before the injury. He could hit enough to keep a job, but he became a liability in the field. He became a journeyman playing for the White Sox, Mets, Orioles and A's and maybe some others. Prior to his injury Craig did not have the gifts that Tommy Davis had. 2014 may not be an off year for Craig. It may be his new norm.

    The Phillies have COdy Asche and another MLB ready prospect to play 3B if Asche can't hold down the position. They have no need for a third base project. I agree that the Phils can't get a lot of talent in return for Hamels, but their asking price has been very high. It may be that if they can't get a major haul that they will keep him.
  23. a700hitter
    I don't think they have enough prospects to get 2 stud pitchers via trade. It would clean out the organization.
  24. a700hitter
    Losing Victorino this season has been a major contributing factor to the team's downfall.
  25. a700hitter
    But Marlon Byrd is giving big league production this season and he did so last year too. Middlebrooks blew up. He will fetch nothing until he shows an ability to stay healthy and produce at some level in the bigs.
