    What makes you think that Leon's time is "obviously limited"? Even though I eventually think that it is likely that the job goes to Swihart down the road, at this point in time, I don't see much of a debate here. Others will have to outplay him to dislodge him from the starter's role. Leon is a very good defensive catcher who just might surprise us again.

    Malzone's .270 came long before the mound was changed to help hitters. he was my favorite player for years.

    If they use anyone other than Holt on occasion, I would think that it would likely mean a call up for Sam Travis. My guess is that they will do everything that they can do to keep Swihart behind the plate.

    The beauty of this whole debate is that you can. It would be kind of like me trying to tell you what constitutes a clutch moment. Thanks but no thanks right.

    Wrap that crow in bacon. You will be able to choke it down. Everything is better wrapped in bacon.

    I think that eventually - maybe not even until next year - Travis will get his chance. Once he comes up, I think that he will stay and be a productive hitter for quite some time.

    good stuff
  8. cp176
    That clears things up for me!!! One last question though - Is it possible to be one of the greatest clutch athletes (Nicklaus) and also one of the greatest chokers of all time? (Nicklaus once again)
  9. cp176
    Its that damn depth thing coming back to bite me again.
  10. cp176
    choking is clearly just a random occasion of someone not getting the job done every now and then
  11. cp176
    correcto

    Seriously? You trying to be serious? Come on. Fool's errand? When the hell did he pitch 2 good innings? I'll probably still be posting a little even if Hernandez doesn't make the team and if Pomeranz is on the dl. If those two things happen, I still think that we will be ok. Seriously! - I don't see his contributions be they positive or the negative being anything of great consequence. Nothing worth getting too upset about anyway.

    Will he be 21 by then? lol lets go Padres! He will lead them to the promised land.
  14. cp176
    No no Fisk - you just don't get! lol If you don't call this kid some crazy assed demeaning name it puts you in the slobbering society along with me and maybe one other person. If you aren't careful, people will start accusing you of thinking Hernandez should make the 25 man too.
  15. cp176
    3 slobberers maybe? Who was that 15 year old kid we traded away for him anyway? By the time he graduates to AAA, most of us slobberers will have already fallen over over the cliff!
  16. cp176
    paralysis by analysis - I like how he looks out there.
  17. cp176
    If Pom "comes through", he probably moves up the food chain. I can't believe how many people here already have him labelled as a stiff or loser. Yes - I know - you hated the trade from day one. If Pomeranz regains his health, he will continue to be a young talented pitcher.
  18. cp176
    I'm glad to see somebody else feeling this way. There have been some nasty things said here about a kid who may very well turn out to be a good get for this team.
  19. cp176
    I'm ok with that (not that it matters). If he had a better than good spring in all of the various phases of catching, I might not be. Leon is a good catcher. Still a young man and at least for the time being should be our number 1 in my opinion. With what we have in Leon and Vazquez, Swihart needs to show that he can catch at the big league level. He and we have time for that to happen.
  20. cp176
    did I say that you were suggesting he be moved to third? Don't think I did. I disagree with your take on what constitutes a very good ss. In my mind, he is one. One of the best -no. Very good- oh yah
  21. cp176
    I don't think that Swihart has won the job at all. I think that he will eventually but he hasn't yet.
  22. cp176
    Good for him. He didn't have to pitch through any of the showers did he? That is the real test for him. lol
  23. cp176
    Robby Scott is another one who doesn't seem to get a lot of mention. he has done nothing to hurt his chances of making the big club this spring. if we are looking for another lefty out of the pen, I like him easily as much as most of the guys who get more attention.
  24. cp176
    I don't think that there is any question about who is going to be playing short or third or second for us at least starting off this season. I'm not a stat hound. I guess I truly do rely for the most part on what I see particularly from a fielding standpoint. You can tell me I'm wrong and perhaps use stats to prove it but I'm likely to hold my ground. XB is more than adequate at short as would be Hernandez if given the chance. I realize that you watch every play that every player makes and clearly spend the rest of your time studying the stats. Oh well - I'm happy with what we have and when Pedroia gets hurt and hernandez steps in, I will be ok with that as well.

    I'm not sure about this. Depends on what you really want and traditionally expect form a third baseman. I hope that his bat keeps up with some of the explosive bats we are now seeing at ss. I think that Benintendi should be fine for us in left but I'm not expecting Jim Rice power out there either. With respect to XB, my "eyes" tell me that he is a very good ss. Of course there are better but he more than gets the job done. I would not move XB. XB's first year in the field was shaky. He spent that next winter working his tail off with Pedroia in Arizona. He got quicker, stronger, and better overall. He is damn good at what he does.
