fathom Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ May 12, 2012 -> 01:15 AM) SOMETHING isn't going to be converting a 1b to third. And I wouldn't get my hopes up about Dallas either, that guy is just a hitter at this point. He couldn't hack it at third. It is most likely Morel or bust, save a trade Hawk said tonight that Morel's back was in much better shape today than it had been recently.

caulfield12 Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 QUOTE (fathom @ May 11, 2012 -> 08:22 PM) Isn't Youk a FA after the year? Yep. Or maybe there's a big option for next year that's not guaranteed with a buyout like Peavy's. If they're going to do that, they might as well go after a real impact player in David Wright, but I don't see what pieces they would have to make that work without crippling the major league roster or giving away our few remaining prospects. It would be tempting for KW with a talent like Wright out there, but JR would have to sign off on it and you'd have to think we'd need some sort of attendance uptick.

caulfield12 Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 (edited) Ugh, once again Escobar showing he really doesn't belong in the major leagues at this point in his career. And, in other news, the Marlins have blown yet another save in the early season, this time Mujica in the 8th against the Mets. Chisek blew one in his first opportunity but the Marlins ended up winning in extra innings. Edited May 12, 2012 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 (edited) Alright DeAza, get ready to run again. Why not? If he gets a good read. Should have sent Viciedo there, but oh well, DeAza's not quite the contact hitter that AJ is there. White Sox only averaging 2 runs per game in Floyd starts, second lowest of all ALL American League starters, last year he was among the best-supported. Included in that is 2 times the White Sox offense was shut out with Gavin on the mound. A little like John Danks from 2009-2011.

Arguably we should have at least 3 and as many as 5 runs. On the other hand, the Royals had bases loaded and didn't score, so you feel we should be up at least one more run. Doesn't feel like a comfortable lead at all, but Gavin's been dealing going on 4 starts in a row now. Pretty surprising Houston and Colorado both gave up on Paulino with his stuff. That ends the string of 9 batters in a row...let's hope this isn't one of the walls that Gavin hits where he just falls apart and gives up a crooked number. Okay, an out there after the leadoff single by Dyson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
