I don't see any point to Pascucci coming up and hitting .125. We have guys who can do that already. What the hell is all the fuss (not picking on you specifically Nymr) with a 29-year-old minor leaguer who has gotten half a cup of coffee? Have the organizations he's played for really misjudged him that badly? No they haven't. Does he have hidden talent that has never shown itself before that just needs a chance to blossom? No he doesn't. He's just the flavor of the month. At least give me a young "five tooler" to get all hot and bothered over before I get let down. Book it in the Prediction Archives. Pascucci will never be a solid contributor for this team. (I have no idea how to define "solid contributor".)

What's the deal with El Duque? What are the odds that El Duque and Alou contribute to meaningful games in September? By contributing for El Duque I mean giving 2 or more starts or 8 or more bullpen innings. By contributing for Alou I mean starting in 15 or more games. Your mileage may vary.

Let him go out there and give you a dynamite inning or two in a big spot every other day instead of getting lit up every fifth day. It's a tough transition, but he certainly has the stuff for it, just like Smoltz did. Doesn't he get lit up in the first inning a lot?

Did Nixon really hurt himself? What happened? Or is it just a bullshit place to stash him as we brace for Concussion Number Three? (<-- band name?)

I think Ryan Church's return makes this an above-average lineup. Even though it's not going to happen, Alou makes it a very good lineup.

Heilman Since June 15: 10 Games, 9 1/3 IP, 8 H, 2 BB, 10 K, 0 HR, 0 R, 0.00 ERA, 1.07 WHIP Since June 1: 15 Games, 14 2/3 IP, 12 H, 4 BB, 14 K, 0 HR, 1 R, 1 ER, 0.61 ERA, 1.09 WHIP But I hate that puss on his face. Edits 1 and 2: I thought my math was off but then I changed my mind. Edit 3: added HR to the second row.

RealityChuck wrote: Seems to me, you can't complain that the players don't care and then criticize them for being immature when they do show they care. Which do you want? Pick one or the other. Because you can't have it both ways. Of course you can. How about when Clemens shows his passion by throwing bats at people? Or when Jason Giambi berates a teammate in the middle of the field in a playoff game (the game I'm referring to is the one where a grossly out-of-position Jeter threw out Jeremy Giambi at home). Or how about the minor league batter that threw a bat at an umpire (and actually hit the guy, unlike Clemens)? I can approve of passion without approving of these. There's a difference between acting with passion and acting like an asshole. Or, in Reyes' case, acting like a baby with his head up his ass. To suggest otherwise is stupid.

I don't like this move. What the hell did Vargas do? What the hell did Muniz do to deserve getting called back?

That's a scary picture you paint. It's not as bad as it was: Santana Wright Reyes Beltran Maine Pelfrey Church We never had anything close to those (young!) horses in 2001-2002. It's a good start. Now cut the dead weight and fill in the rest in 2009.

="AG/DC"]This season Yunel Escobar, Atlanta 109 OPS+, 328 PA, 2 SB, 4 CS Hanley Ramirez, Florida: 144 OPS+, 334 PA, 19 SB, 5 CS Jose Reyes, New York: 123 OPS+, 337 PA, 26 SB, 7 CS Jimmy Rollins, Philadelphia 103 OPS+, 230 PA, 15 SB, 0 CS Cristian Guzman, Washington 101 OPS+, 339 PA, 3 SB, 2 CS By the way, zone rating stats suggest I don't know what I'm talking about. Hanley is kicking Jose's ass. Why even bring SB into it? Shirley that doesn't mean much in the scheme of this discussion?
