Jose Abreu Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 OT- A Boston Red Sox fan with Down's Syndrome sang the National Anthem at the Red Sox/Rays game last week. Good story. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2058067...amming-national Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 2014 Putnam=2012 Veal He can't be any hotter. It's one of the reasons that Webb doesn't have a defined role right now...drifting around like Joel Zumaya from the 6th-9th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Abreu Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 (edited) QUOTE (caulfield12 @ May 9, 2014 -> 09:05 PM) Jenks and Dotel come to mind. Marte, before Thornton. But lasting five years is very, very unusual these days. Saw where Nick Masset was still in the big leagues as well, I think with the Rockies. Eric Stults has had a LONG career now in the NL West, we just gave him a very limited shot in Chicago and dumped him. You're right about Jenks and Marte. Dotel was only here for 2 years.

flavum Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Putnam is reminding me of 1999 Keith Foulke. Not a closer, but comes in for a couple innings and usually is quick about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it was Linebrink who signed the long-term deal and fell apart after being so effective the first half of 2008. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose Abreu Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Isn't Gillaspie something like 3-6 since coming off the DL? He and Abreu seem to hit well next to each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Gillaspie really provides some nice balance to our line-up, even if we wish he could put up Davidson's power numbers. White Sox with 18 double digit hit games (1st), and 1st or 2nd with seven times when they've scored eight runs or more. Need one run to make it eight in that category. Rienzo has to be getting the best run support of anyone in the big leagues this season. James Baldwin/Danny Wright/Eldred-esque. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jose Abreu Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I think one of Gillaspie or Davidson will have to go, eventually. Likely Gillaspie. Next year, with Dunn gone, Viciedo should DH, leaving Gillaspie and Davidson battling for 3B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next year, with Dunn gone, Viciedo should DH, leaving Gillaspie and Davidson battling for 3B. The problem if Viciedo goes to DH is that we're absolutely desperate for a left handed hitter somewhere in the lineup. Eaton leads off and then we have 7 righties and De Aza somewhere in the middle.
