    Its his BA and OPS that are the most concerning. I would settle for .300 with lots of doubles too as long as some of them drive in runs. Also, he looks silly at the plate sometimes, swinging at balls in the dirt and does not look like he is having intelligent ABs, swinging at too many first pitches. Its not been a good year for him. He is going to really have to rake for four months to approach career norms now.

    Need a big DP here.

    Iglesias is hurt (back)

    So are we going to see the good Buchholz....or the evil Buchholz tonite? We need to win at least two games in Toronto. Just winning series is the goal.

    Gonzo K's. What a surprise.

    Another night to witness Gonzalez's act. Wonderful

    Apparently he has no problem playing defense. Its swinging the bat that is a problem for him. Remy mentioned that if the situation dictated it he could come in as a defensive replacement. I will say this again: I think its a mistake not to DL him until he is healthy. Risking his whole season right now does not make sense to me.

    Hey, you know I respect your opinion here. But I think that you are ignoring the fact that he is, in fact, injured a lot. I believe that is because he is playing a more demanding position in the field now. His body type is not well suited for 3B. IMO he will produce in spurts, but his overall effectiveness will not resemble what it was when he was in his prime. If we could package him with another player to get Garza I would do that in a minute; Dempster would also help. I am not overestimating what Middlebrooks is likely to give us. It will probably not be like Youk in his prime, but it will almost certainly be better than the Youk since last ASB, warts and all. If we can get value for Youkilis now we ought to do it. I think that is what will end up happening, unless he makes some sort of dramatic offensive comeback that is consistent.
  11. FredLynn
    Youk WAS an elite bat until his body started revolting against him. He has played well for just nine games in a row since his return. I responded to you with his statistics since last July, and they are dismal. Of course WMB will slump; they all do. Look at Gonzalez. He has been in a season long slump. I would prefer to go with youth and maximize what we can get (Dempster would be fine) for him now. We need more pitching more than his hitting, which really hasn't been good if you look at the last 10 months.
  12. FredLynn
    We have to find a way to keep WMB in the lineup. And I haven't seen a link showing that he flunked his test at SS, just some talk here.
  13. FredLynn
    This is only NINE GAMES in which Youkilis has played well. Very small sample size. Lets look at a bigger sample size. From the ASB until the end of the season last year his OPS was .660. This year, for the whole season, his OPS is just .724, including the games in which he has played well. Youkilis is most likely not going to be here next year; he is in the final year of his contract. Middlebrooks is our 3B of the future. Moving Youkilis NOW rather than waiting for him to slide back into the doldrums he has been in for really the past 10 months maximizes our return for him. We may miss out on a few productive months, but in the long run, its the smartest thing to do.......IMO, of course.
  14. FredLynn
    Probably not. How many times did Gonzalez play RF before he got here? Or Youk in LF before he did that for the team? I admit that there will be a loss defensively, but I think that unless he is a total clod out there at 2B he is preferable to having to witness the futility of Nick Punto at the plate.

  16. FredLynn
    Why isn't WMB playing second base instead of the useless oaf we had out there last night? Yes, its a loss defensively and there could be issues turning the double play, but do you guys really want to see any more of Nick Punto?
  17. FredLynn
    Yup. Taking three games from Detroit is a good result from this series. It sucks that its June 1 and we are still in last place, but we are only three games or so out of first. The season is not over yet. If our pitching can continue to perform well we could compete for a playoff spot this year, not because our team is dominant, but because no one else's team is dominant either.
  18. FredLynn
    And yet someone here, who is now on ignore (again), thinks I ought to be banned for even suggesting this. Its a legitimate option. Why did we trade for Melancon? Not so he could languish at Pawtucket while others at the ML level screw up. Our bullpen is actually performing fairly well, but it has a weak link. Shouldn't we correct that if we can? Do we really need THREE LH RP?
  19. FredLynn
    Melancon has an ERA of .96 at Pawtucket in 18 2/3 innings of relief. Isn't it time he is given another chance and Moralass is given a ticket out of town?
  20. FredLynn
    I think he has three total bases on this team. Why we still have him on the roster is explained only by stubborn stupidity on the part of our FO.
  21. FredLynn
    This game is over, courtesy of Moralass, who does not belong on this team. He and Punto should be cut immediately. So, tomorrow is June 1, and we will still be in last place. Wonderful. Thanks Josh. Thanks Adrian. And a very special thanks to Moralass the Bum.
  22. FredLynn
    We ought to text the Stiff congratulating him on making contact there. His act is really getting old.
  23. FredLynn
    Sad thing is, we got this guy for exactly these situations. And he has royally sucked at it this year. So predictable. Popout. Option B.
  24. FredLynn
    Doesn't matter. Gonzo will K.
  25. FredLynn
    Great. Gonzalez up to choke again. K? Popout?
