Alright fellas, I'm moving Xander past John Valentin for 4th greatest SS in team history after that HR. An MVP caliber year would put him at #2, IMO.

So wanting at minimum a bench OF that's good at OF D is irrelevant? Someone to take over for Martinez late in games? I don't know about you, yet if I was a coach I'd want to remove Martinez up one run after he just batted for the better D in the 9th. The bench is relevant to any game. Bringing mental illness into this is crazy and frankly totally uncalled for. It's is uncalled for but it seems the moderators allow ppl like cdj to run around name calling and insulting ppl bcs they have diff takes then them. Maybe its about time they get a little side conference about what is acceptable behavior on the board. Can’t cry enough about the Sox so you move on to me, I hear you

No it’s a sign of mental illness to have to dunk on somebody completely irrelevant to the game at hand in a game day thread. This isn’t difficult to comprehend So wanting at minimum a bench OF that's good at OF D is irrelevant? Someone to take over for Martinez late in games? I don't know about you, yet if I was a coach I'd want to remove Martinez up one run after he just batted for the better D in the 9th. The bench is relevant to any game. Bringing mental illness into this is crazy and frankly totally uncalled for. Wah wah wah sorry that people have to take celebratory potshots at a guy who wasn’t in the game and I (and seemingly many others judging by the amount of confirmation the posts got) think that’s dumb. Move Along Got a double today! Eerily quiet when that happened

Another RBI double for Franchy lol
Does this mean he can sit on the bench for a game without multiple people bringing him up to shit on him incessantly in a GDT? I mean some of y’all literally talk about him more when he’s doing nothing on the bench than when he’s in the lineup producing......hmmmm

If Santana is tanking balls in Worcester it’s only a matter of time before he’s up. If he plays anywhere near the level he did in his recent 20/20 season we are talking about a VERY potent lineup. He’s been stinging the ball on his rehab
I think it’s realistic to say that season was his peak but maybe he can do 80% of that
With him coming up it’s pretty obvious (at least to me) that Franchy will be optioned. A game like this is big, for the reason Lebowski stated. This will remind him that he can perform in the bigs and he has some positivity to take with him to Worcester. Ball seems to fly out to right there, hopefully he can get going

Maybe it's just me, yet if a guy has a 13 OPS+ and a negative defensive bwar, I think you can bitch even if he's just on the bench. For me it depends on whether you think this is a site for insightful discussion of the team or for repetitive inane bitching and moaning. It's the game day thread, that's what people do. I think that better than the crazy personal insults a few posters are throwing around about other posters. That's certainly not insightful discussion of the team.

Typical Darwinzon. He's the guy that needs to go to Worcester. He needs to evolve into a guy that can throw strikes.
EDIT: Reverse jinx. You're welcome.

He's a danger even in mop up duty. The awful thing is I'd assume he's being told to just throw the ball over the plate and trust his stuff and he can't even do that.
