southsider2k5 Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 27, 2011 -> 08:55 AM) Yes. It just seems odd that a new manager wouldn't have input on his coaches. It seems to be happening more and more, and not just to the Sox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Balta1701 Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 27, 2011 -> 09:55 AM) That's the hard part of 2012. The results have sucked this year and we still put about a.500 team on the field. If you can get career normal years out of guys like Peavy, Rios, and Dunn, you have a playoff team in the making. Depends on what happens with that pitching staff. No matter how crazy Marty is...he has a point, if you move D1, there's a lot of "Iffy" there, and I'd rather be punched in the gut than go through another full season of a 6 man rotation.

There isn't going to be a six man rotation. That is just dumb for a full season. If you move Danks, you pretty much have to bring back Buehrle, or go into a total rebuild. There really isn't much in between there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxfest Posted September 27, 2011 Share Posted September 27, 2011 (edited) 10/02/09 1:29 AM ET Marlins Minor Leaguer shot in Puerto Rico Wounded in drive-by attack while driving through hometown By John Schlegel / MLB.com Osvaldo Martinez, the 21-year-old Marlins Minor Leaguer who was shot several times in a drive-by attack in Puerto Rico on Wednesday, was the innocent victim of gangsters battling for control of drug distribution in public housing projects, according to The Associated Press. Police spokeswoman Maria Rivera told the AP that Martinez was driving through his hometown of Carolina, just east of the capital city of San Juan, when he was shot three times because it "seems that [gunmen] confused him with another person." There have been no arrests. According to the report, Martinez was recovering from surgery and in stable condition. Emergency room physician Dr. Benjamin Rodriguez said his "wounds did not have complications and they did not injure organs." The Marlins released a statement Wednesday night about the news: "The Florida Marlins are aware of a shooting incident involving Minor Leaguer Osvaldo Martinez in Puerto Rico this morning. At this time, we are trying to get more information. The entire organization's thoughts and prayers are with Osvaldo and his family." Signed as an 11th-round pick in 2006, Martinez played in 130 games for the Class A Jupiter Hammerheads of the Florida State League, batting .254 with 54 runs scored, 45 RBIs and 16 steals. In Puerto Rico, Martinez played for the Criollos of Caguas and recently began playing with the Arecibo Wolves. Got to say he is tough to be shot 3 times and make it!

Well, I mean, anything is good, but I'm surprised he ever made the majors with his minor league lack of success.

It was the worst .500 team i've ever watched. Even our surge to .500 was boring, let alone the tip toe-ing around it for the last 4 months before finally pulling a rexy against the tigers..."f*** it!!"

Good for Ozzie...might as well go "all in" and try to get all your demands met. So far, I've not heard one thing that went on behind the scenes that has frustrated me.
