El Duque Odd Man Out

[Greg The Bull Luzinski]

i dont like marte at all...and i dont think it would make a big difference to go to the playoffs without another lefty arm in the bullpen.  i mean, putting him in against a lefty for that "lefty on lefty" matchup doesnt fare him well, lefties are batting .267 or something against him, as opposed to brandon mccarthy, who although is a righty, has lefties batting only .182 against him.  i say, if you need to get some lefties out in the playoffs, you put mccarthy in.

 

 

I could not agree more, Marte should be watching the playoffs on TV. He has stunk the place up this years and his temper tantrum soiled him in my eyes.

This makes me feel better about the White Sox push to the post:

SEP 2005 126R, 109RA, 121RBI, 100RBIA, .273BA, .250BAA, .789OPS, .721OPSA

 

Needless to say the bats got hot in Sept:

SPod .337A/.790OPS

Kong .327A/1.039OPS

Uribe .304A/1.020OPS

Crede .379A/1.178OPS

Harris .391A/1.152OPS

JDye .271A/.843OPS

 

That might be the hottest our lineups been all season.

 

For trade bait over the off-season:

JBorchard .455A/1.091OPS

Juggs you use stats way 2 much in all your posts... ever heard the term keep it simple stupid.

So, can players who arent on the playoff roster hang out in the dugout/clubhouse during the games? Always wondered about that.

I think Viz gets the 6&7, El Duque 8&9, or each get at least one to decide the last spot. I can't see leaving McCarthy out. As the young future of the Sox starters, I want him to get playoff experience and his pitching down the stretch indicates he is worthy.
