  1. It does matter when a left-handed pitcher is in late in the game, and you need a right-handed batter to hit in a key situation. Right now, that would be Erick Almonte, or later on possibly Carlos Gomez. I would rather have that person be Brandon Boggs personally. That way we can use Gomez in other situation like pinch-running or as a defensive replacement. I really don't want Almonte and Gomez taking key at-bats. I really think that Boggs would be better than them, but we'd have to see I guess. I just like his versatility as a switch-hitter, and the fact that he can actually play well in the outfield and run pretty well. I just think he serves more of a purpose than Almonte does.
  2. Good. Hopefully he gets activated in the next few days. He just pitched back-to-back days, so I doubt it would be until Tuesday or Wednesday.
  3. I really see no reason to carry 3 catchers. Boggs would provide a lot more than either of the catchers in my opinion. Nieves provides practically nothing, and Kottaras is about the same except that he can hit occasionally. I just don't see why we would keep both once Hart comes back. Just keep one, and use a player that actually brings something to the table and is more versatile, even if it is just in a pinch-hitting role. Versatility is important for bench players, which is why I have no idea why Almonte and Kotsay are on the team. Neither can field, Kotsay is worthless against lefties, and not much better against righties, and Almonte can't well against either.
  4. Gotta figure Hunter Morris will be promoted to Huntsville at some point. Seems to be swinging the bat very well for Brevard.
  5. Dude, relax. Almonte could be hitting .400 for all we know in AAA. When he becomes the next Nelson Cruz, you can call them stupid. He doesn't need to be Nelson Cruz. He needs to actually be able to play good defense and hit occasionally, which Almonte and Kotsay can't do. Boggs can provide some pop from both sides of the plate, and play good defense. That's what we need off the bench in a backup outfielder. That's the point I'm making. It makes no sense to have guys like Almonte and Kotsay on the roster, who we know can't play the field, and are average hitters at their absolute best. I'd rather give a guy like Boggs a shot. At worst, he can play well in the OF, and probably hit better than the .100 Almonte is hitting. He also would be a pinch-hitting option against right and left-handed pitching, and has some speed unlike Almonte and Kotsay.
  6. Yep, he just keeps further stating his case, and making Melvin and Roenicke look stupid. Would've looked nice in the lineup today.
  7. Well, spent 6 hours of my day watching these 2 games. Needless to say I'm not in a very good mood right now.
  8. I don't care. He'll be better in that role than anyone else also. He's a better option as our right-handed pinch-hitter than Almonte also.
  9. Yep, he's been locked in all season so far. Gotta love it. Just wish more people besides Fielder would follow suit.
  10. Dumb move diving for that. Could've saved the third run. Like I said before, should've put Braddock in to face the lefties. EDIT: And now he brings him in when it's too late. Way to go Roenicke.
  11. Should've brought in Braddock right here. Hope it doesn't come back to bite us.
  12. I will say it seems like Almonte hits almost every ball hard. He has had some really bad luck with the bat. On another note he is horrible in RF. He sucks. Doesn't deserve to be on the team. Plain and simple.
  13. I'm not. 96 pitches after that long of a lay-off is probably enough for him.
  14. Sweet defense this inning. If that's it for Estrada, fantastic outing! Really needed it here. Hope our offense steps up for him.
