So what happens when Victor and Pronk come back? Do you go Haf, Peralta, Martinez?

Oh, no. What ever will we do.

I would flip that (Vic first..or third, I guess).

You have no idea the physical toll that three vasectomies have on a person

Try it, examine the results, change it if there’s room for improvement? You know. Go crazy.

How about this?

by Jay on Aug 6, 2008 9:23 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs

That’s damn good too.

As for a lineup, how about:
Grady
#2
V-Mart
Jhonny
Choo
Benfran
Hafner
8
9

Travis Hafner is overrated. Clarity is underrated. David Dellucci is David Dellucci.

careful. buckeye’s gonna see that and read “Grady #2” and salivate.

You’re really reaching on that one, Brick.

The Shin-Soo Choo of LGT.

This morning, I was just revisiting this thread I created on Jhonny. It’s great to see so many LGT’ers firmly in the pro-Jhonny side, even before this recent run of success.

Like I mentioned in that thread. Once Jhonny reduces the “off” streaks .. he had the potential to put up incredible numbers. Looks like this might be the year.

Earlier in the season Shapiro rattled off the names of his “core”, and then referred to Peralta as, “not quite the player we’d hoped he’d be, still a pretty good contributor” (paraphrasing).

Well, what is he now? Core, or un-core?

by jhon on Aug 6, 2008 10:09 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs

if you ask me, he’s always been core.

uh, he’s a 26 year old SS with an OPS+ of 110 (that’s as of yesterday, too, so his 5-5 will improve that number).

for comparison’s sake, miguel tejada has an OPS+ of 111 at age 26. rollins was at 97.

that kind of production at SS doesn’t just grow on trees (that was a weird way to say it, i know). sure, his glove isn’t great, but he’s not julio lugo-bad.

he’s valuable now, and will become even more valuable over the next three seasons.

I agree, he’s clearly a core player. He never really stopped being one, he was just more of a fringe core guy before.

by Jay on Aug 7, 2008 1:24 AM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

So he was in the outer core, or maybe the mantle. The bullpen, on the other hand, has passed through the crust into the exosphere.

Rec’d. I guess this is what makes Dellucci such a crusty veteran.

Wedge is an idiot. He should have had Peralta batting cleanup all year.

by odradek on Aug 7, 2008 10:23 AM EDT reply actions 0 recs

So much so that I wouldn’t be surprised to see him take Peralta out of the spot when he gets other guys back.

Wedge is an idiot

Travis Hafner is overrated. Clarity is underrated. David Dellucci is David Dellucci.

You really would consider that to be deep idiocy?

I would consider it to be trivial.

by Jay on Aug 7, 2008 12:26 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Yep, he’s an idiot. Clearly he should have known that Peralta’s 0 hits in 0 AB batting cleanup coming into this year indicates that he would have great success in that role in 2008. Obviously he was a better choice for opening day than Martinez.
