Heads22 Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 What a f***ing joke. Brian has been giving some of the best at bats on the team the last few games, he had an awesome game yesterday, and you're benching him for the 09 version of Scott f***ing Podsednik.

Gotta f***ing love it! just a guess BA hasn't seen Santana much in his limited career. I think only 2AB's... now he did hit one of the 2AB's out of the park, 3 years ago.

Kalapse Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Looks like those who claimed Anderson would unfairly lose his job to Podsednik upon his return are receiving a bit of vindication here. It's sure as hell looking like a platoon to me or perhaps Brian's just the 4th outfielder. Gotta love it, benching a young player who's actually producing for a washed up 32 year old vet. If I were a more superstitious man I'd make the case that Podsednik's presence on this ballclub has hindered the production of 2 young players. (3 if I were willing to tie him to Getz) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(3 if I were willing to tie him to Getz) Me, after yesterday's game, in the game thread. BTW, good work Anderson. Sorry, I know you'll be benched as punishment tomorrow, but 2/4 with 2 runs and a 2 RBI home run...nice. This series, we face a righty, a lefty, and then another righty. Anderson will play tomorrow and will sit the other 2 games. We'll be lucky if we get him as a defensive replacement. That's simply how it is.

(OBP= .375) So Brian sits because Ervin Santana used to have major control problems? Then wouldn't Anderson's vastly superior walk rate make him a more dangerous hitter than Podsednik? And I think it's well established that Ozzie Guillen doesn't look at things like past performance and split stats when filling out his lineup card. He's longed to put Podsednik in the leadoff spot since we signed him (he said as much when Pods was recalled) and now he's getting his chance even despite Podsednik's lousy play.

That's simply how it is. He also had an excellent throw to the cutoff man that resulted in Alexei catching a runner off first. Good call and I agree, I think 2006-2008 taught us a lot when it comes to the Anderson/Guillen relationship. He was hesitant to use Brian as a defensive replacement even then despite the fact that Podsednik was heading flyballs in LF and Swisher isn't a major league CF.

fathom Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I'm fine with Anderson not playing tonight, as he'd have no chance against Santana's slider. With that said, once this team is out by double digits (and there's a good chance of that happening after the next week), we have to start playing Anderson every game to see if he can be in our plans next season.
