fathom Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 BTW, what's the deal with OC always trying to steal with 2 strikes and 2 outs? Seems like a good way to distract the hitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm happy we don't....considering the price he'd cost, it's not worth it with this team. We had our chance to get some talented prospects to use in a trade when we unloaded Garland, but we got the one year rental instead. I'd rather keep Fields then trade him for Roberts.

If he were playing for the Sox, Brian Roberts would be hitting .198 and trying to hit solo HRs every at bat. It wouldn't be that great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ball sailed a bit on the throw, but it was good and strong. With our rotten offense you cant blame Brian from taking the shot. The only problem is that the trailer advanced on the throw.

We had our chance to get some talented prospects to use in a trade when we unloaded Garland, but we got the one year rental instead. I'd rather keep Fields then trade him for Roberts. LOL, not worth it? With Roberts, we would have: 1. An actually good leadoff hitter/base stealer. 2. A way to put Swisher in a place in the lineup where he actually belongs and can be effective. 3. A Way to get Uribe OUT. You can't tell me that's "not worth it with this team." "This team" is plenty capable of being dominant. Approaching it with the logic of not "wasting" anything for another player is really just bad, IMO. What happens if the offense gets hot, or just some of it? That's the problem around here and with fans in general. If someone is hitting, they are awesome. If not, they're terrible, and if an entire offense is struggling even though they are capable of very much, a new acquisition "isn't worth it." That's just a poor rationale. Then from the look of the lineup before the season, that would make Swisher or any other hitter we could have acquired "not worth it."
