danman31 Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 QUOTE(CWSGuy406 @ Apr 24, 2007 -> 10:48 PM) I thought about a Saunders-for-Dye trade just a couple of nights ago. We don't need Saunders, but he's a guy that would appeal to the D-Rays seeing that he's had some success at the big league level. Package him with some of our prospects (Broadway, Logan, McCollough) and see if we can get a deal done. How does that improve our team?

Chisoxfn Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 24, 2007 -> 08:53 PM) The thing is, I like Erstad. I just hate the role he's in/way Ozzie uses him. He'd be perfect as a 4th outfielder if we had a better outfield. But why hate on a guy because of the situation. And no, I don't think BA should be the everyday starter. In a perfect world maybe Erstad is a backup, but you know what, when he's healthy he's still a pretty solid role player (in fact a pretty good role player). Sure he's no star, but every good team needs good role players and Darin is exactly that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southsideirish71 Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 24, 2007 -> 10:54 PM) Ozzie wil let Javy start this inning likely. Can he keep the ghost of the 6th inning away? Â He is okay in the 6th inning now. Its the scary 1st that our pitchers need to get out of these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWSGuy406 Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Apr 25, 2007 -> 03:53 AM) Afterall, the Sox gave Anderson plenty of time to dig his own grave last year (not only with his production but with his approach to the game, day in day out).

Â Â Hawk: "One would have to think, watching from the right fielders point of view, that a line drive off the bat of Erstad looks like a rising sun before it drops in for a hit, displaying a beauty only found in nature or off the man's bat."

He plays better defense than Dye and runs the bases better.  It would hurt us a bit for the rest of the season -- I agree with that -- but we'd still be getting three+ years from Baldelli as opposed to the three months left of Dye.

A great example of my concern is how he let him face a good LHP in 7th inning with a RISP in a tie game when he had Ozuna on the bench. The whole 6 million dollar option is scary also.
