Glowing

Is it me or does it appear as though Buehrle has a luminous appearance in his picture?

I don't know, but I sure wish there was a pic of JDLR

to compare it with.

I mean it's no fair

if we are having to face someone who glows, that’s got to be pretty difficult as a hitter to focus

"luminous"?

Buehrle hasn’t been THAT good for awhile.

But seriously, yeah…. it looks like the sun is rising on his face.

Spilly in left?

Is this a test of a possible outfield? I don’t think Fowler should be on the big team unless he’s playing regularly, and that will only happen if Spilly moves to left. Question: are the Rockies better with Fowler or Smith in the lineup?

by RoxnSox09 on Mar 31, 2009 1:33 PM MDT reply actions   0 recs

I sincerely hope this isn't a possible OF

We have all 3 of your CF candidates in the lineup at once. I’m thinking this is just Hurdle wanting to see them all at the same time against the same pitcher to get a better idea of what’s he got and who’s starting and who’s leaving.

by Chacinisthefuture on Mar 31, 2009 1:36 PM MDT up reply actions   0 recs

Herrera is starting

Any idea why? seems like a good opportunity to get Stewart some 2b at-bats, or baker to showcase, or Q to get a better idea of whether or not to keep him. Why Herrera?

So here's a question...

Does Pods’ game today (2 for 2, SB, nice assist, etc.) lead to Dex starting in AAA, after all?

Watching the purple row from high atop the big brown monolith on California Ave

by Mondogarage on Mar 31, 2009 2:49 PM MDT reply actions   0 recs

My opinon

Dex should at least start in AAA. He needs to get some more ABs. However, if he keeps performing like he has this spring (minus the first couple of days) then bring him up.

I just sent someone an e-mail all about celebrity mug shots. And it was completely work-related.

On topic, it’s a bit disconcerting that the on-screen graphics don’t include how many are on base. I’m so used to that, it’s really weird not to have it.

And I’m glad to see JDLR doing much better today, even if he’s had a bit more traffic than I’d like. I don’t need perfection, here. Just relative consistency (and good consistency).

I would hope you do too

As the D-backs didn’t exactly have the best follow through on their 2007 in 2008, either. Both these teams opened a window to their next era with that season and a one year drop back doesn’t necessarily mean the window’s already shut for either. This year will show that to be the case for the Rockies, i’m expecting the D-backs to be right there in the thick of things too.

by Rox Girl on Mar 31, 2009 7:40 PM MDT up reply actions   0 recs

Very true.

Frankly, the entire season after about May 8th of last year was a bit of a disappointment — we lost the NL West down the stretch; Manny Freaking Ramirez, of all people, killed us; Webby won 22 games and didn’t get the Cy Young; we lost Adam Dunn without draft compensation; RJ grumpily shuffled off to San Fran and now is talking about joining the HoF as a Mariner; etc.

Like I said in PF’s Know Your Foe this week, the problem with our lineup is that it’s all about potential rather than proven performance.

we lost Adam Dunn without draft compensation

You think it would have been wise to offer him arbitration? Arbitration that he probably would have accepted, given the poor free agent hot stove?

Dunn

made an oral promise to Jeff Moorad that, if offered arbitration, he would reject it, but the risk was too high. I’m not saying it wasn’t the right thing to do, I’m just saying it was disappointing — especially since we gave up Micah Owings and Wilkin Castillo.

Now you can feel the pain we felt

Tulo missed the ROY
Holliday didn’t get MVP
and we were a good team. Your team wasn’t bad last year but everyone overlooked them because some player was traded to the Dodgers.
Let’s hope this season goes better for the two unfortunate teams and is bad for the fortunate 2008 team. It must be better for the Rox though.

I argued

at the time that Tulo should be ROY as a more complete player, on both offense AND defense, yet apparently, only offensive numbers matter.

Holliday lost because of Rollins’ gimmicky 20-20-20-20 thing… bright shiny object distracted the voters long enough for them to vote for Rollins.

I know Lincecum deserved it....

but traditionally, the Cy Young voters have given more credence to wins than they deserved… Webb was the first pitcher EVER to lead his league in wins by at least 4 and NOT win the Cy Young.

Compare that to 2004, when Randy Johnson had better numbers than Roger Clemens IN EVERY SINGLE CATEGORY, yet because he only won 16 games (16-14) on a 51 win team, he lost to ROGER FREAKING CLEMENS, who went 18-4 in between injecting himself with steroids.

It’s just patently unfair, that’s all. Dbacks fans always get screwed.

Another reason not to trust Spring stats

Wilson Betemit leads the White Sox in HR and RBI with 6 and 17, which makes him their Ryan Spilborghs. I hope our guy is for real, though.

Hey

Wilson Betemit is not as bad of a player as one might think. I think he is very comparable to Jeff Baker in a way. Solid power, can play a few positions, but never really given much of an everyday chance to play.
