  1. Right. Stay right there until the trade is completed. Don't risk injury.
  2. His OPS is under .700. That is a more telling stat than his 10 HRs. Not impressed by that unless his OPS is reasonable, which it is not. Furthermore, just watching him play, he has no concept of the strike zone. He is like a very bad version of Vlad Guerrero. Maybe he is working his ass off to improve his defense, but this is a results oriented game, and so far the results are not there. Maybe he is a better defensive 3B than Holt...maybe...but at least Holt isn't useless with a bat in his hands. I am not saying he is hopeless, but I am saying that his performance to date has been pretty bad. Pedroia might be back, but not regularly. He is toast.
  3. Back to the thread topic: Devers He has shown me NOTHING. He has no concept of the strike zone and frequently looks totally lost at the plate. Yesterday the blind squirrel found a nut and hit a HR, but for the season he is at .231/.692. Instead of shortening his swing with two strikes he has the same stroke every time, swinging for the downs. A lot of times he swings at balls in the dirt. Defensively he ranks 45th of the 50 AL 3Bmen. Yesterday he booted a sure double play ball. I don't see any improvement there either. His ONLY redeeming feature is his age, but a 21 year old who sucks still sucks. Unfortunately, right now there are no alternatives. I think if Pedroia can somehow make it back I would sit Devers and put Holt at 3B.
  4. Devers still sucks...both offensively and defensively. I see no potential so far. No strike zone recognition and no improvement defensively either.
  5. Nunez was out by 20 feet...WTF was that??
  6. I would not have left Velasquez in this game.....
  7. They are laying in wait for the Yankees
  8. Like no one knew this was coming? This is who he is. He is the Matsusaka of Venezuela.
  9. Should have had more runs that inning....Moreland has regressed.
  10. He did. I remember in preseason that they were talking about him bulking up with a weight training program. Now that he is completely over his concussion issues he is looking pretty good out there.
  11. They are, as of today, second in ERA below Houston-by just .01 RPG
  12. The fifth pitch was right down the middle. Moreland should have swung at that.
  13. This is it....win now or never
  14. The worst part of it is that he is uncoachable. He says thats the way he has always been so there is no reason to change. Why is he still in there? Just awful.
  15. Bradley swings a ball almost in the dirt....I have had it with this guy. Until he changes his swing I would sit him.
  16. Can't keep losing to really crappy teams....and this one is the worst in baseball
  17. No Kimbrel? Next inning...if we get that far.
  18. Not really liking bringing in Kimbrel in a non save situation here...he usually doesn't do well in that situation...but he needs the work.
  19. Devers and Bradley are totally useless
  20. What an ugly stretch of games.....five of them now.
