fathom Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 QUOTE (greg775 @ May 22, 2011 -> 08:31 PM) The thing I hate about message boards are when a guy is deemed pathetic like Pierre, he can have a good game and people still bag on him. I hate that so much. The thing I hate about message boards are when posters use one good game as a reason why someone should keep a job or not be in the doghouse of the fan base.

BigSqwert Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 QUOTE (SpainSOXfan09 @ May 22, 2011 -> 02:53 PM) OT but relavent. Viciedo is really rakin, 2 more HR today. Dunno what else he can to deserve a call up. It's a smart to have a multimillion dollar player rotting away in the minors when we could use his bat.

At least IMO, he's not "Rotting away" as long as he's getting AB's and work. "Rotting away" is what Brent Morel is doing on the bench now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Rotting away" is what Brent Morel is doing on the bench now. IMO he is rotting away. What are we saving him for? The AAA championships? We need him slugging those HRs with the ball club that matters. There's a reason why we threw a ton of money at him and it's not to hang out in Charlotte.

Hell, if we wait a couple weeks we can probably buy another pre-arbitration year. It's not the right move for winning this year, but you've got to see what I mean here. He's getting at bats, and he's getting better, especially on the patience part. Beckham nearly flew out of his shoes on that last swing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
