He shouldn't have had to be our biggest offensive threat. Jim said it best on the Sox Machine podcast that he should be allowed to age. He's 35 and we'd have all been thrilled with the numbers he's putting up when he signed his latest contract here. Look at the catcher hitting .200 with single A power, the third baseman hitting .200, the LF who misses half the year, etc. Expand Right, so he's no longer capable of being our biggest offensive threat, therefore we should stop paying and playing him like he is. Vaughn has more RBIs in 22 less games, I'm just sick of Jose getting a free pass, if he hits at team average with RISP this year this team is in 1st place. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
