    Covered. Cleveland's rebuilding, Cabrera's part of their future plans. Not available for anything reasonable. Risky, because he's so far over his career norms right now (in his mid-30s) that he could see the rug pulled out from under him at any time. I think they would have opted for him is he was truly available. Not a chance, Rockies are also in contention. See O-Cab Not a chance. Not a good player anymore. Rockies are in contention, I doubt they make any shake-ups. The Hardy that just got banished to the minors?

    We're not really worrying about his all-around game. We're not going to get a good all around shortstop at this point in the season. Gonzalez is a quality defender. We don't have any shortstops that are any good offensively, so Gonzalez by default becomes our best option.

    What does that have to do with anything? The Reds placed him on waivers because they're out of contention, trying to cut costs, have a couple of internal SS options for next year, and would take anything they could get in return for an expendable player. If a contending team placed him on waivers, then you might be onto something. Gonzalez isn't near GG status anymore, but he can still do a respectable job.

    In a nutshell, here's the thing: our lineup, when everyone's producing up to par, is good enough to where we can install some Glovey McNoodlebat in the 9 spot and not really feel the effects. If it gets to the point where our other hitters are all s***ing the bed at once and we need the SS to produce at the plate, we're not winning anything anyway. Gonzalez is a proficient defender and a crap hitter. I can live with that.

    Gonzalez can play defense. Guzman's decent, but not as good as Gonzalez. He also comes with a much higher price tag. You may not care about that kind of thing, but the team does (and rightfully so, since it is their money). Doesn't really matter.

    Defense is trash?

    People are actually mad about this? Gonzalez is a good defensive SS. Becomes the best one on the team, by a good margin. He can't hit, but I'd rather have an incompetent bat combined with quality fielding than a shaky bat combined with a shaky fielder.

    From someone who obviously did not watch or even keep tabs on the game today. In other words, a troll.

    There's no reason to be mad about this loss. It has an impact in the standings, yes, but Clay pitched well for the second outing in a row. Not only that, but Verlander was absolutely devastating today. I attribute the shut-out to him much more than I do to our offense. He was throwing 100 late in the 8th inning, 120 pitches deep into his count. He was completely on the ball. Not a whole lot you can do about it. The only gripe I have is that Beckett won't be pitching any of the Texas games.

    I don't disagree, but I wouldn't focus too much on batting average. It's merely a section of on-base percentage, which is obviously the measure for how often a player gets on base.

    I was initially responding to a comment about cat pictures, but now that you mention it - how are fail pictures inflammatory if its in off-topic areas being used by people, the horrible, hell-bound souls they are, who find them humorous?
  16. Jacoby_Ellsbury
    Cat pictures are inflammatory? Cat pictures?

    If it's related to baseball topics, then sure. Don't see why off-topic goofing around (in off-topic threads/forums) should be cracked down upon.

    In light of recent events, wouldn't mind bringing him aboard.

    In no way is this Youk's fault. He was defending himself. The result (Lowell/Woodward's increased playing time) is unfortunate, but Youk finally cracking after being everyone's throwing target for the past three years is not to blame. He's not a robot, he's a person.

    Definitely. I went to one in April against Charlotte, and it was insanity.
  22. Jacoby_Ellsbury
    I probably won't be.
  23. Jacoby_Ellsbury
    Not at the moment. My dad's a golf pro at a couple of courses/facilities though, so getting ahold of a set shouldn't be too difficult.
  24. Jacoby_Ellsbury
    I've been wanting to get decent at golf. Seems relaxing. Right now I really, really suck (as in, I actually make contact with the ball maybe half the time).
