fathom Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Aug 1, 2012 -> 06:41 PM) I know of a roster spot that Brent Morel can use... Hudson is just an absolute waste of a roster spot right now. Frustrating they didn't make one more move yesterday to improve the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Well...Flowers is looking more and more respectable at the plate with increasing playing time, as many suspected he might. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frustrating they didn't make one more move yesterday to improve the bench. I'm not disagreeing, but is there anyone available who would look good at the plate getting at most 1 - 2 at bats a week on average? Hudson has had what 2 - 3 at bats in the last month. Where is Eduardo Escobar again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason Hudson is such a waste is that he doesn't provide you speed or power off the bench and he can only play one position on the field.

He didn't look good when he was playing third before Youk got here. Just a waste of a spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hudson has had what 2 - 3 at bats in the last month. Where is Eduardo Escobar again? I agree it has to be tough to hit under those circumstances. But if the manager only plays you that much, it sort of screams wasted roster space. O Dog is toast. If the Padres pay you not to play for them, its sort of a giveaway.

Paul R Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 A little late but it sure seems like Jake has a little of the Johnny Danks syndrome going. He just can't hold a lead. He pitches good, just not good enough to win. C'mon Jake, prove me wrong today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 1, 2012 -> 10:37 AM) Peavy hasn't looked overly sharp for a long time now. The insane pitch counts have to be catching up to him. I hate Valencia, he seems to always perform well against the Sox. Ventura has had him throw too many pitches, too often. I haven't been happy with the way he's managed pitch counts on some of our guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I felt like there's been quite a few times where he could have saved Sale and Peavy a few innings in starts where the outcome was no longer in doubt.
