Soxbadger Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 That Vazquez needs to throw his change up more about a million times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitetrain8601 Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Wow, Javy gives up 3 runs and people are mad with him. Just in case people are not aware, the Yankees are a good hitting ballclub, especially against RHP. If we can't score 3 runs, we don't even deserve to win. The game is not over folks.

Princess Dye Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 This offense is killing me right now. I want some youth injected into 09. Frighteningly, Hudson means "youth" to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe giving Anderson/Wise a chance....and Fields...could conceiveably occur. Of course, nobody likes that version of "youth movement," we only want MVP's and ROY candidates. Think the Yankees will give us Cabrera and Cano??? Edited September 19, 2008 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nitetrain8601 Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 If the Sox could get Cano, I would be happy. Then again, Walk might screw him up. Hudson would be nice too. I would prefer we keep Ramirez at 2b and find a SS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want someone who can still catch up to it. In their best flashes, our older hitters can still punish the ball, but it's only in flashes these days.

caulfield12 Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 18, 2008 -> 06:27 PM) Wise is like a year younger than PK. The only reason I mention Wise is because he at least has a little speed and athleticism. That's one thing we miss with Chris B. Young. I know he's Mr. Cameron Jr. and strikes out a ton and has an average OPS and not so great OBP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I woulda been ok with it this year truth be told. Games lately with the pathetic offensive output...what would it hurt giving BA some PT. It's always said the the vets have a calming presence in a pennant race. Seems like ours always have the asses so puckered they can barely function at the plate.

caulfield12 Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 (edited) 6-4 TB, Carlos Pena homer. Think of how many MLB teams passed a number of times on that guy, and they could have had him for nothing or next to nothing. Evan Longoria, I think, just clinched ROY, if he hadn't already. 2 homers, 24 on the season now. Edited September 19, 2008 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By then Beckham should be ready to be up here every day. Find a 3B and keep Juanny as your utility guy. I know it probably won't happen...but that's what I'd like.

If they can get a high obp guy in here somewhere else i'm all for this. Hell if you need 2b for the incoming guy, try Alexei in CF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Three game rest usually is tougher on pitchers than Vazquez than Buerhle. Although I think it might help Floyd's curveball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stone keeps talking off Javys arm slot being a lot lower than normal. Not surprising to see with Javy on short rest. Yep, he needs to be pulled after 5 innings, no matter what.
