    And an ERA of over 6. I am sure DD has a close eye on him. In my book, his time is up. I would guess they are looking to unload him plus prospect for a better and more reliable SP. Might not happen for a while, but management has shown a willingness to do whatever is needed this year to make the postseason.

    Big "if". Sabathia's contract is known to be one of the many horrendous Yankee contracts; Price might turn into one. Meanwhile the last place Yankees had Teixeira sitting tonight with neck spasms; ARod is also out. And Tanaka, one of their only decent SP this year so far, gave up six runs in seven innings. Its going to be a very long season for the Yankees.

    Clay. Price will be fine.

    Seven starts; five poor starts. ERA nearly 6. At least he is consistent. He doesn't have much time left in my opinion. The Red Sox cannot afford a SP with that track record. I supported him early on; I wanted to give him a chance to hang himself. Unfortunately, that is exactly what he is doing. I would give him three more starts to see what he can do. If he cannot pitch consistently well in all of them I would DL him with an eye to trading him.

    True, but Porcello did his job

    I have no doubt that he is getting surgery, and most likely its on his shoulder. But there are some missing parts here: how did he injure it so severely? Did he finally come to realize that his level of obesity affects not only his baseball career but his life as well? Why couldn't he get his shoulder examined for weeks after he allegedly hurt it? There are questions......

    I admit that you are almost certainly right...but somewhere in the back of my feeble mind I can see a smokescreen. Medical records are totally confidential; there is no way the media can access them unless Sandoval gives his permission for them to do so. The other thing is, exactly HOW did he injure that shoulder? I have a hard time believing he tore his labrum (which is what is being reported) by just sleeping on it wrong. His weight would not be a factor with that kind of injury unless he walks around on his hands. They could have sent him to Dr Andrews to cover up a bit. If he comes back next spring 30 pounds lighter I am going to get real suspicious. I would want to see his surgical scars.

    I wonder if there is the slightest chance that Sandoval's shoulder injury is an apparition, a deflection from the real surgery he is going to have-one to reduce the size of his stomach in an effort to control his weight. Thats not something I would imagine he would like to advertise if it were the case.

    Young has been useless. Its not quite time yet to pull the plug on him, but if he remains useless over the next month or so, then he should be excised. Dombrowski has shown that he is willing to do whatever is necessary to win. If that includes removing Young and giving Castillo a shot at the job, I believe he will do just that.

    This year is obviously a lost cause. If Sandoval has any professional pride left whatsoever its possible that he could, after surgery, use the time until next spring to get into the best shape of his life. I am not sure he will ever be the player that Shaw is right now, assuming Shaw continues to hammer the baseball and play a solid 3B, but he might because tradeable in the future.
  11. FredLynn
    Is there a Sumo wrestling team we could trade him to?
  12. FredLynn
    They are both important in my opinion. While its certainly important to treat players with respect (eg: Valentine ) and protect them from undue criticism, in game decision that do not put the players in the best position to win, thats also important. When, for example, Farrell kept ph'ing a slumping Chris Young for Travis Shaw, who is on a tear and in fact hits LHP better than RHP, I think thats not smart. There are many other examples. Furthermore, Farrell's head scratchers are not limited to three weeks this year. He has been team manager for many years, and his style has not improved.

    With Bradley out and Olynck and Crowder hurt I think they have overachieved already
  14. FredLynn
    Not sure I would rather have Kelly or Owens in there.
  15. FredLynn
    That was over two weeks ago....
  16. FredLynn
    Remy had a good point: why would they even give Markakis a pitch to hit in that situation? Not smart baseball.
  17. FredLynn
    One more month
  18. FredLynn
    He likes to alternate
  19. FredLynn
    Boegarts has to stay on base until he is called out. Pretty basic, though West is still an idiot
  20. FredLynn
    Figures
  21. FredLynn
    Wow...I have never seen that before. Bogaerts needs to pay attention.
  22. FredLynn
    Sure am glad we don't play the WS any time soon.
  23. FredLynn
    He will probably stay there until he proves he can hit AAA pitching well. Right now, his OPS at Pawtucket this year is abyssmal: .654 this year and .708 in his two year minor league career. Why on earth would you want to bring him up with those numbers? Doesn't he first have to perform in Pawtucket?

    As Usename said, my original link was outdated. Interesting that the Cubs have dropped to #20. Guess their prospects are all up in the bigs now.
  25. FredLynn
    Mea culpa. Here is the updated one. The Braves fared much better; we are still #4, just behind the Braves. http://www.baseballamerica.com/minors/organization-talent-rankings-list/#mwXgD1zJD7Ujqh74.97
