It was bad, because it was in the air, but I didn't think it was terrible. A lot of times that bunt would get down, even with the 1 second of hangtime it had.

I couldn't disagree more. Bunts aren't supposed to be caught and if they are, they are awful.

A bunt that's still in the air nearly halfway down the 1B line is a terrible bunt by definition. Add on top of it that they have a known good athlete at 1B and it only gets worse.

He's under control for next year. Why to the Sox have to operate like a small market team?

Because he's a lefthanded pitcher and will get Sabathia/Lee money in 2012 if he has two seasons where he strikes out 200 because of his age. JR would never give that amount of years and dollars to a pitcher.

And maybe the White Sox wind up with 2 division titles on his left arm.

Then one more year of his services plus the draft picks will be a lot better than picking up guys like Matt LaPorta.
