Cordero was hot.
Duran was hot.
Dalbec was hot.
Why makes you think bringing up the hot hand works?
How about actually keeping the most skilled players on the 26?
If you make a chart, you'll find many players do way better on Tuesdays. Is that a repeatable skill?
The charts show Montgomery is the best on Tuesdays. Make a chart. It proves it, right?
Rays, Jays and Yanks all lose.
Gallo & Rizzo go 1-5 combined. Heaney lets up 4 ER in 4 IP. The glitz is wearing off.
Hand let up 3 ER, last night in a 2-2 game.
Why didn't we get guys like them?
(sarcasm alert)
He was DFA'd long ago and passed through waivers and stayed with the Sox off the 40 man roster.
Andriese has a ML contract.
Why are you asking about him on the prospect thread?
There have been studies to show the random chart looks just like the real one.
Hitting well is a skill. It is repeatable- the charts show it.
Timely hitting is not. The charts show it.

If you looked at randomly distributed clutch hits, a few guys would look really good, more often, and you'd say "Some are better than others. That's the point. No rocket science."
