That's what I was thinking. How the f*** is Vladdy not in the line up on a day where you'd expect a half decent crowd vs the Red Sox? This is some horrific PR work. Resting a 20 year old, LMFAO.
I believe in comfort levels with some players as far as where they're hitting in the order. Vladdy has been hitting anywhere from 2-4 his whole life. That's where he belongs, he's a boss and he knows it. Getting Vladdy a guaranteed first inning AB is a no brainer.
Montoya wasn't even on anybody's radar until Rocco Baldelli opened up his big mouth. Atkins fell for it, hook, line and sinker. The ignorance on this team starts from the top.
You have to have Davis or Alford on the 25 man as Grichuk is not an every day option in CF imo. I guess LF can be patch worked until late June, then call up Biggio and option McKinney.
Why? I was just stating he looked pissed for making the error and looked determined in getting the inning started on a positive note leading off the inning.
I don't know how long we can go with only three outfielders, something has to done obviously. Then again, we're talking about Ross' asset management skills here.
