Even if he is starting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isn't going to bat for Eaton, Cabrera, Abreu, Garcia, Ramirez. And not a lot of teams have more than 1 or 2 LH relievers. He is going to have to face RHP, and as I predicted, the first time he starts against a RHP, the not being used properly posts would accumulate. If all he can face is LHP, he is a waste of a roster spot. Edited April 14, 2015 by Dick Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alright, well my whole thing is lets not write the story on this til it actually happens. I'll determine waste of $3M this year once the year is over. If you have a win now year then the non Conor ABs and the non Micah ABs are a concern for a depth less team with so-so ready now farm talent that can step in. Sanchez & Micah are something you hope will pan out but for a win-now roster with FAs, they were not at any point going to be the only answer.

The posts are accumulating because they're correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leonard Zelig Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 QUOTE (chitownsportsfan @ Apr 14, 2015 -> 02:05 PM) His value is in giving every day guys a day off all over the diamond. In fact, I probably would have started him today in CF. Given Adam another day to clear his head. Clearly Ventura doesn't know how to use him and yea, it's frustrating. That is clear to you through 3.7% of the season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am trying to DVR it but it doesn't seem to be an option. It's showing Law & Order and Family Feud during the Sox hours. I have Comcast if that makes a difference. Looking at my comcast listings on line, I do not see anything about the Sox game either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're the master of strawman arguments and I'm tired of knocking them down. If you can't see the difference between using a super sub with platoon advantages to give regulars days off over the course of the season verse starting him over your promising rookie (with no platoon advantage as well) in game 7 after an off day -- well f*** off.

LMAO. Knock down arguments? You bashed Robin for playing Beckham in game 2, 2-4 rbi and a run. You bashed Robin for giving Beckham ABs. 3-8 hr, 3 rbi. You say Robin has the energy of an obese 80 year old and that could be a problem, then in the Ventura thread say his demeanor has nothing to do with your dislike. And no surprise, you bash Robin for PH for Soto with Shuck. Seems Robin is doing a lot better managing than you. So if he doesn't know what he is doing............

fathom Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I had no idea Carrasco's pitched as well as he has since the ASB last year. He has a 1.59 ERA in that time with more K than IP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ptatc Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Apr 14, 2015 -> 01:48 PM) If Bonifacio can only or should only play against LHP, approximately 80% of pitchers are RH, so he should start, if used properly by the experts here, 32 or 33 games a season. If being used properly means you can only bat against 1 or 2 or 3 pitchers on a staff, what a waste of $4 million. don't forget the fact that RV should not allow a rookie to get comfortable by playing him consistently. The focus shouldn't be about how to get the backups the best matchups. It should be about how to get the rookie comfortable in the MLB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerksticks Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 There is so much more information that goes into daily lineup construction than R/L match ups, and we aren't privy to ANY of this information. Somebody touched on illness & injury nicely and that probably constitutes 1/100th of the information unavailable to us usually. I mean like bro...what if there's a plan or something to beat Carrasco? "Na dude, lefties hit righties better so case closed". GMAFB What if the brass feels carrasco isn't the best thing for MJ's confidence? So many variables.
