14, meanwhile he has 11 hits out of 32 chances against Verlander. This is a stupid line-up versus a guy that we usually have on a leash. Hopefully we don't let him off it.

 

Oh c'mon. The guy caught 14 innings last night.

Well boo hoo, a whole extra 15 outs. We could use his bat in the line-up. Maybe not as we do own Verlander, but he would certainly help things along. I guess we'll see but something tells me if we asked AJP if he wanted to play, he'd say yes.

Actually it would be 15 extra outs. Innings 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14.

Probably the fact Uribe is the better defender and Josh Fields isnt exactly hitting a lot better...

 

I mean Fields is hitting .182 with a .240 obp and a .227 slugging percentage.

 

Uribe is hitting .218 with a .277 obp and a .351 slugging percentage.

 

I guess the real question would be why should Fields be starting over Uribe?

Fields is hitting those #'s in 22 at bats.

 

After 23 at bats last year, he was hitting .139 with a .297 OPS.

 

From then on he hit .251 with an .820 OPS.

Now isnt the time to be hoping that Fields can turn it around while hes butchering 3rd base.

 

He also hasnt been hitting in AAA.

 

Not to mention Fields last year barely hit better than Uribe...

 

.234 .284 .394 20 HR- Uribe

 

.244 .308 .480 23 HR- Fields

 

To each his own, but with Uribe in the infield the Sox have one of the better defensive infield in the games. With Fields that defense is drastically reduced.
