Raul and Andruw... NOT a bad DH idea afterall

So, between the two of them they account for 10 HRs and 27 rbis... Not a bad tally. Ibanez in particular has had key hits. Looks like the Cashman plan is working afterall.
As long as neither play defense too often that is....

Jones still plays an adequate left or right field. Ibanez will stop playing the OF when Gardner gets back.

Yup... that's the plan... Just sayin the DH spot has been very productive so far with those two guys.

Agree 100% qwik...Andruw soemtiomes appears that he isnt hustling but, he's definitely adequate and he sure has pop left in his bat.

Montero would have been a better choice.  I'm sick of Cashman parading ancients...

Better choice for what? Could he have played the outfield when Gardner and Swisher were out? You definitely have a mancrush on Montero.


NC...

I agree.  Winning games does get tiresome.

I still wish we could have traded for a young fast athletic outfielder and moved Swish to DH. Would have helped with all of the outfield injuries but Ibanez has been a better hitter then I thought he would be. Jones has not been a big deal imo.

We actually have pretty good flexibility at DH..Jones, Raul, Alex and Jete get to DH when Nix gets playing time. Swish. Would like to see nix get more playing time myself to give that "old" left side a rest. That "old" left side is spanking the ball tho, eh?!?


On thing about Joe that people here do not give him enough credit for - he is a very patient manager, almost Torre-like. I don't know why Joe gets the sh** he gets here...but then again, Torre should have been fired after 2001 too right?


Let's fire Cashman too. He hasn't a clue eitherTongue Out
