greg775 Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 So suddenly Gavin Floyd stinks and we have two good starters. Our third best is Bartolo Colon. Many of you knew Gavin was a fluke. Our scouts and baseball people thought he was good enough to reward monetarily. Lexi is hitting .212, Fields .231, Miller .214 and Lilly .164. Quentin is hurt and may keep getting hurt because opposing pitchers plunk him constantly. Getz is down to .240. We can't come close to beating a real team like Toronto. It's gonna be a long summer.

Frankensteiner Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 QUOTE (fathom @ May 17, 2009 -> 01:41 PM) Yes, last year was a success. We took a team that had no business competing and beat our rivals for the AL Central crown. Last year has nothing to do with this year, which is shaping up to be a disaster in virtually every aspect. Not only are we losing, but our core group of players for the future are struggling to prove they can be counted on. So you're basically saying a fluke year = successful year.

I told myself I was going to give this team until the end of May to declare this season a failure, but that's hard to do with the way they're playing. Trying to stay optimistic by saying its a rough patch, but they're really showing it's a rough season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 KW really should be on the phone with the Giants and Mets trying to get rid of Konerko. The Giants 1B situation is terrible, and Delgado's out for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg775 Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Last year was a good, successful year. How can anybody argue that? I can see what they were trying to do this year, mix high paid vets with low paid young talent. The young talent can't hit and in the case of Floyd, pitch, while the vets haven't been miserable but are not producing a lot of runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
