2/20?

I think Arroyo's learned his lesson.
-
Agree with jacko (holy s***), but I can't help but worry that his 2009 performance is the result of that contract year business.

Well we know where he isn't tall...

Cheap humor?

About time.

What good is it if said player is counting on Nick Green to knock him in?
-
Youk is also a main source of power for this team.

How am I being a dick exactly? Explain how Ellsbury stealing 2nd and taking 3rd on a sac fly is something that you could use to justify him being a leadoff hitter? He's already proven that he can't handle the way pitchers treat him in the leadoff spot, and that the way they treat him in his current spot allows him to get on base more, since his sub-par bat isn't getting molested by pitchers pounding the strike zone. Solution: bat him 9th, best of both worlds... he can get the more Ellsbury-friendly pitch treatment, and having guys like Drew and Youk (with their OBPs) follow him up can help move him into scoring position, where his speed then, and only then, becomes a huge asset.

So?

Because most baseball managers (read: baseball traditionalists/wisdom fountains) actually believe that base stealing is a required skill for a leadoff man. In other words, their theories are in agreement with yours about what constitutes a leadoff man. When some old-time baseball guzzard looks at J.D. Drew, haven't seen Drew batting leadoff.

Only because you're new, before long you'll be able to witness the epic amounts of insanity that unfold here on an almost-daily basis.

Drew was my choice back in April when I was begging for a lineup change. He gets on base and is at least somewhat fast. Ellsbury would be best suited to batting 9th in this scenario, as he's already proved to be more effective at the bottom of the order, could easily be bumped up to 2nd base or further due to Drew's excellent OBP, and as such is a good threat to score with his speed. Pedroia is best suited to bat 2nd or 3rd, IMO. His numbers in the 2 spot so far this season reflect that he could be somewhat productive hitting 3rd. In a perfect world: 1. Drew 2. Youkilis 3. Pedroia 4. Bay 5. Ortiz 6. Lowell 7. Varitek 8. SS 9. Ellsbury Welcome to the board, BTW.

Not necessarily a bad thing.

Injured Marte/Nady > Jeff Karstens and Ross Ohlendorf.

Come up here and pick up some farm sluts.

Jair f***you.
-
In other news, Beckett is a bigger rapist than Michael Jackson.
-
How about Jair Jurrjizz?
-
That is terrible. Josh Beckett, Mike Bowden, Jason Bay for LaRoche, Ross Ohlendorf, and John Grabow. World Series.
-
The prospect alone is enough. MDC for Johnson is asinine.
-
No.

Formality.
