Metz Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 (edited) QUOTE(santo=dorf @ Apr 2, 2008 -> 06:41 PM) Just how short is Alexi's leash. This is his first stint at professional baseball in America. Sending him down won't wreck his career, but keeping him up here will hurt the team. I just dont think you can have him protecting Jermaine Dye in your opening game, and then just move him down one slot, and now have AJP protecting Dye, even better right. Ramirez needs to find himself batting 9th and playing 2B. We better see some CQ tonight Edited April 2, 2008 by JFields27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 QUOTE(southsidehawkeye @ Apr 2, 2008 -> 11:42 PM) I agree that it is way too soon to be calling for him to grab the bench... you have to at least give him a little bit of time to settle in, he probably has some serious nerves out there. Lets remember that he is a rookie that just defected from Cuba in his first MLB game(s). He had a great spring and earned his spot on the team, now should it be in CF? I would argue no. But Im ready to give him a little slack if he gets off to a slower start than we would hope. There are others on the team, who have been in the majors for much longer who deserve to be on a short leash but I think Alexei needs a little bit of room to grow. But, that just my opinion. Here's the problem with that....all offseason, we've heard how vital it is for the Sox to come out of the gates strong. With our early schedule, we can't afford the growing pains that Ramirez is likely to go through. I also don't understand why we have him batting 7th instead of 9th.

fathom Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 QUOTE(SoxFan1 @ Apr 2, 2008 -> 11:40 PM) Just for s***s and giggles, I'll respond to this one. And as far as my history of criticizing posts, I'll just go ahead and let you sit on your high horse for that one. I now recall why I have avoided game threads for the past season and a half. So I'm going to blame you then for the fact the Sox have sucked for the last year and a half. You need to be in every thread for the rest of the season.

Frankensteiner Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 QUOTE(zenryan @ Apr 2, 2008 -> 05:43 PM) difference between our team and good teams is 2 out hitting. They also have a pretty competent bottom of the order (notice I didn't say good). Our bottom guys hack, pop up, and strike out. They're not very good fundamental hitters.

Cali Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 Crede and Uribe are gonna try to freeze Carmona with cold wind as the swing as hard as possible. That's their strategy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G&T Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 See this is why the Sox had to be patient and get to Carmona in the second. Of course that's a wish that will never be granted. Now Carmona is feeling it...at least against Uribe and Crede. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
