Approximately a month ago. Do you have more recent data?
-
Bingo! We just don’t have the talent to compete for the playoffs, let alone a ring. We could have had more talent if the cheapskate owner opened his wallet. He didn’t. And we stink.
-
How are we doing at percentage of revenue spent? Last I checked we were around 23rd. So yes-smallish budget.
-
I think you are right! But Breslow's decisions on how to spend the smallish budget have been questionable at best.
-
I am boycotting the product. But I am not boycotting MLB.COM.
-
The fans shouldn’t be at the park. Boycott!
-
Two hits? Breslow needs to be fired immediately
-
3-0 Game over BUMS BUMS BUMS
-
6th inning No runs
-
Who ever thought these bums would have trouble scoring runs??
-
Yes but Breslow prioritized saving money….i mean defense….this year
-
Catchup baseball is losing baseball
-
Well who didn’t see that coming?? FLOPS already losing. Game almost over already. What an awful team. At least the Celtics are playing….
-
Yours in particular. Paredes has an excellent track record. Durbin has demonstrated a near total lack of the power this team needs.
-
Would you rather have Paredes or Durbin out there?
-
Paredes has a career OPS+ of 115. He has been an all star. He would be a vast improvement over the stiff we have playing 3B right now.
-
I admitted he has done well so far, but the sample size is too small to make much of it. If it continues, great. If he reverts to what I think he is then he is just a late inning defensive replacement.
-
Durbin is not a starter quality player. He's a bench player. Paredes was available for trade if the price was right. Breslow failed.
-
None. It would cost much more-which is exactly my point.
-
Right now he is doing very well. I am willing to wait and see what he does over the next 50 games or so. As I recall (without checking the numbers) he slumped badly as he got tired at the end of last year. I think this start is the proverbial "flash in the pan". I'd be glad to be proven wrong.
-
There are only so many roster spots and allowing a stiff like IKF to take one of them was a mistake. There were far more talented players to be had this offseason, and we all know why we didn't get them: Henry is a cheapskate and Breslow isn't good enough.
-
Let’s give him a reasonable amount of time to show his true colors-maybe 40-50 games or more. I think he is what he is at the plate and that it will eventually show up in his stats. If I’m wrong so much the better because this group of bums can use all the help they can get on offense.
-
And he still had no plate discipline. I don’t care what his bwaaah was. You have to be able to hit the baseball.
-
Exactly
-
A very good all around player? His career OPS+ is 81-below average. Defensively he is good. But this team needs players who can hit the baseball. IKF won’t help. He belongs in the minors.
