Wanne Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 QUOTE (Chet Kincaid @ Jul 31, 2011 -> 03:40 PM) Sometimes I really want Adam Dunn to retire. Like right now. And Rios too...god he's worthless. He needs to be stripped down to ground zero and start over. "look dude...what you're doing doesn't work..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 It's comical to me that our lineup right now is: Lillibridge Alexei Pierre Quentin Dunn Rios Flowers Beckham Morel That team would win 50 games over a full season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kwolf68 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 LOL...ragging on Beckham because of what Bard just did to him? Give me a break...in that case Bard was just better and he'd have been better than most people. That was one of the nastiest breaking balls just before high 90s gas.

The guy is CLEARLY not a major league hitter. What the hell happened to his stance this year? Is that the work of Greg Walker? Remember when he came up? Foul line to foul line hitter in 09. 14 homers in 105 games. It can't just be a lack of adjustments. His approach is messed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My God. To be fair, at that point the Sox didn't look like the kind of team that was going to spend enough to be able to keep AGon long term Now we know that may have been the case, but it was tough to judge back then.
