Anybody got any thoughts about Valentine leaning a wee bit too hard on Aceves' rubber arm? That's 4 days in a row. You don't see that much anymore. I checked his game logs from last year and he did pitch 4 in a row once, but it was Sept 25-28.
Nava continues to do a commendable job. Out of 20 games there have only been 2 that he hasn't reached base by hit or walk at least once, and in one of those games he had a sac fly.
Teixeira always ends up with solid HR/RBI numbers, but he's incredibly streaky. If we had signed him he would have caught his share of abuse here, that's for sure.
Teixeira's deal set the bar for Gonzo. He took a little less than Teixeira. I think when Gonzo signed that deal most Sox fans were satisfied that it was a fair deal.
