That article pretty much stole what I said a couple days ago! Actually, that article backs me up and doesn't make me sound like a jackass for talking out of my ass, like I usually.

Queen Prawn Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Congrats PK! Suprising to me is that my Royals/Mariners fan husband was glad to see PK get the nod. Alas, I am sure he has ulterior motives for this lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjm676 Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Now I have a reason to watch it. I'd much rather see Bautista in the contest over PK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witesoxfan Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 QUOTE (BearSox @ Jul 10, 2010 -> 07:45 PM) Deservedly so, even though it should have been a no brainer to begin with (seriously, David Ortiz!? Someone tell Giardi that the reserve DH doesn't actually have to be a DH). Ortiz is actually have a pretty stellar year. 7th in the AL in OPS, and one of Boston's top two hitters, depending on how you want to value Beltre's 70 point advantage in batting average (while actually having an OBP worse than Ortiz's). David Ortiz is more than deserving of a roster spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Ortiz is more than deserving of a roster spot. Batting .260~, doesn't play a real position, and PK and Youkilis both have better overall numbers. PK and Youkilis are both more deserving than Ortiz, and Swisher for that matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youkilis would be a good option too, but I would say that Boston is pretty well represented at the game, and it's not as if Ortiz isn't playing well. I think you're looking too far into this, and we should be happy that Konerko is at the game, period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamshack Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 I honestly wish they would have picked Youk for selfish reasons. I'd rather have Paulie get the rest and I don't want him giving our juju to anyone else while he is there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might take a swing or two and just enjoy the scenery the rest of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It used to be fans loved their players to be in the game and didn't worry about meaningless stuff like a player getting rest for a few days.

I'm sure the few batting practice swings and MAYBE the 1 or 2 AB's he'll get during the game is gonna kill him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
