2nd_city_saint787 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Watch as the Sox look to sweep the season series vs a pretty good Giants team. Our old pal Jake Peavy has the same number of wins as Erik Johnson, lets keep it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Seems they're really shopping Dunn hard right now. No Viciedo two days in a row. Certainly part of it's the fact that Danks HAS to play CF out there in SF, DeAza would be a disaster with that much ground to cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter what Adam Dunn does defensively this game or last, it isn't changing anyone's mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's necessarily showcasing Dunn, it's just Dunn's offense + defense > Viciedo's offense + defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's also not Gordon Beckham valuable in providing defense. And 2 and a half months ago, out of a season 4 and a half months old, sounds like a pretty small sample size/isolated run of good luck considering his career numbers.

Have you ever looked at their baseball statistics? Viciedo is not good either but at least he is younger, has had a decent contract, and has room to improve unlike Dunn..

He has to get use to playing this many games every year 1 game off a month when it really looks like he needs it shouldn't change that and might well help him feel better for the overall grind. With the offdays/long travel and no DH this was about the perfect time. Even Hawk noted on Sunday how Abreu looked more exhausted than he's seen him the entire season.

He had a day off Monday and gets another tomorrow.. Everyone figured he would get tired quickly as the season went on. But like I said he has to get use to the grind of being in the MLB. Playing him this much will help him out for next year when we are hopefully in a playoff race Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's missed 13 games in May, 1 in June and 1 in July. It's August 13th, so he has half a month to take a game off this month. They are doing exactly what you said they should do, but you still have a problem with it. His last day off was July 23rd.

So basically he had 1 off day other than a DL trip all season. You make a convincing case. He's clearly over-rested, that's why he looks so tired that you can see it through the booth. Thankfully nothing bad ever happens from physical exertion while overtired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing baseball especially 1B is not going to tire you out. And he's had more than one day off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said one game a month, which is what he is getting, and the Sox have 4 off days this month as well. But I suppose it is different from when you were complaining that Konerko would be playing too much and Abreu not playing enough when they announced Paulie was coming back.
