You don't really need pinch hitters when you have the Dh. The only thing you really can use is lefty righty matchups if you don't have as complete of a lineup or a deep bench, but the Sox just don't play that way.
Of course I wonder how much different things would be if we had someone like Scioscia who loves moving guys and pinch hitting late in the games or moving guys over late in the games.
Manuel at least tends to move guys over.
I can live with Liefer off the bench, but quit the complaining. I think we could always use a good lefty bat off the bench of course he was far from good when he was simply coming off the bench.
I know one thing, neither would see much crunch time action, at least at first.
Plus, neither of them should be replacing Wunsch who is a lefty specialist and one of him or Porzio needs to be on this team.
How can you be sure? Dominant minor league closers have a long history of not panning out in the majors.
What Doublem says is very true. They talk about Valentine being the first in a long to prove that theory wrong.
Well I'd rather have Thomas's salary off the books then Lee's, plus I love having Lee as a DH. To me one has got to go this year, but I Think the Sox can put it off for a year and see what Thomas develops into.
IF Thomas turns things on then the Sox know what they have and he's marketable. Then they will look at Lee and if he's still playing great, then the Sox will trade Thomas and go with Lee otherwise they'll dump Lee and turn to Borchard full time.
Thats whats going to happen folks!!!
Whats Everyone's Favorite Comedy?
For me theirs fast times at ridgemont high, dazed and confused, american pie, Porky's, Road Trip, Meet the Parents, and Major League.
At first I thought it was Mark, and I think RPS thought the same thing, looking at his post.
Anyway, its good your hear and I look forward to seeing tons of your posts.
I'm sick of the badboys, thats what everyone else was yapping when Boomer came and I never liked Rodman. The hell with him, I see that guy over at his bar sometimes(He lives like 15 minutes from me, but he hangs out at a place I sometimes go) and he's always piss drunk and drugged up.
Lol, I just wear mine for the hell of it. I remember when I got it, I had him sign it and on the inside of it I used the free frisbee I got when I was at plateville. He always seemed cool, but the tried to be the leader as a rookie and it didn't go over well.
I just don't think he has it, but I give him just as good of a shot as Porzio when it comes to making the club. I don't like either though. I can't wait till we get Ring up here.
