Smart by the old man for a change...don't want to give Melvin any opportunity to think about matchups and/or scout...

someone tell me that shinebox isn't eligible!

Are you kidding? He will be batting 2nd and playing 2B.

It would not come as a shock if both Raburn and Boesch were in as starters today.

Here it is

BB and BV left off!

 

[zoombabyzoom]

Villarreal surprises me. and Worth does as well

 

[Mitchrapp]

Don fuckin' Kelly. Jim sure likes his utility players. Suck or not I'll take BB over Kelly or Worth.

 

[tigermud]

Yeah kinda scratching my head over that also, Kelly.. didn't want him during the Regular season "DFA'd" but yet want him for the post season? whuuuhhh..

Villarreal I can only guess the guy is too much of a skitz to be trusted to throw strikes on a post season pressure packaged stage.

Boeasch not surprised although feel bad for him, wish he'd learn to relax more and not let it all get to him so much, he's got such a great bat when he's on.

 

[Mitchrapp]

It must suck, on the roster all year and now he sits at home. Garcia comes up for a cup and coffee and he's on the squad. Kelly, sucks and gets DFA, clears waivers and gets sent to AAA. Called up late, sucks - on the team. Haha.

What's the point of having Ramon, Worth, AND Kelly?

 

[Mitchrapp]

Kelly, Worth and Santiago might be the worst utility trio I've ever seen. And all on the playoff roster, lol.

While on the whole I agree, who else do we take? Kelly is better than Boesch and we dont have any other IF backups other than Santiago and Worth.

I figured they could just keep BV and go with 12 pitchers, they wouldn't be the only team this year to do that. Keep Ramon and Kelly (since he can play everywhere), and dump Worth.

i agree with leaving BV off, he has been trash in high tense situations.

He had a rough 2nd half, so I can understand. That last roster spot was probably going to be irrelevant.

If Worth is playing, something probably went wrong.

 

[spockmaster]

the big thing lost in all of this is that below had a damn good year and got screwed repeatedly by the team. i wish he was on the roster instead of ricky.

 

[kalinecountry]

I think we all knew it was a foregone conclusion about Boesch left off,
Villarreal might have alot to do with slowly sliding in his success and lack thereoff in some higher pressure situations late in games, that, and maybe some 'tired arm' with his innings?

 

[Mitchrapp]

It might be but late in game, need a run, I trust BB bat more than Kelly. As far as defense, who does Kelly replace? Aj, no. Dirks, no. Berry, no. Not sure about Garcia, if he plays. Maybe a PR is his job. He's basically worthless.
