Wakefield is a tough cookie and tonight’s lead-off hitter is .421 off him (19 ABs) and is likely itching to get back into the action – and against the Sox, no less.

Boston leads the league in walks. Garza has to throw strikes.

Also
ESPN’s Peter Gammons weighs in on the market for Indians ace LHP C.C. Sabathia, writing that: “Tampa Bay has lurked, but Rays people say there’s now way they can sign him after the season, and their focus is on a right-handed bat with (Pittsburgh’s Xavier Nady) and (the Cubs’ Matt) Murton on their radar.’‘

Niemann worries me in the pen.
He is so large and he throws a good fast ball, he may not get all his gears in motion in the time frame that the Rays would need. See Mark Hendrickson for examples. But, if they bring Niemann I say the heat would be on Ejax or Sonny to do better. More to the tune of Ejax.

i’m so pissed that i’m not at the game and i also cant watch it since its on fsn… so gdt and gametracker it is….
good thing this isn't a beauty pagent,
of CC wouldn’t be the best fielding left fielder in the game…
Scared of walks as well
Although he seems to have been better lately
seriously....
i can’t think of the last time he made a nasty play at the wall. whens the last time he robbed a homerun?
Never.
He always misses or misjumps.
Ruggiano’s play into the wall is the only left field wall play I can remember.

i understand with a knuckler you've got to be generous with the zone,
but you have to be just as generous with the opposing pitcher too.

I like what they're doing
Two potential 30 goal scorers is nice. We need some “pretty good players”, it’s something the Bolts have lacked. But they still need to shore up the D.
Tons of young D on the team though
Boyle/Ranger are locks, Kuba is meh, then you have Smaby, Mihalik, Lundin, Picard, O’Brien, ect. and I think Doug Janik is still in the system.
Apparently Gary Roberts called Mats Sundin, but I can’t see that happening.
by R.J. Anderson on Jul 1, 2008 7:48 PM EDT up reply actions
Yeah, but young 'D' is sloppy, and we saw that last year.
They’re signing people like they want to win now. It’s a lot harder to win in the NHL by trying to outscore everybody than it is trying to play solid D. Tortorella won the cup with great D, a good goalie, and good, but not great offense. This team looks like a killer offense with the same seive D that we’ve had the last few years. I’m cautiously optimistic.
Depends
If some of these new forwards, and I don’t know about Vrbata, but I’ll assume Malone/Hall/Roberts will help, can play more on defense I think we could quickly improve that spectrum as well.
Of course it’s very possible they go out and sign a defender or two as well, too bad Commodore went elsewhere.

I firmly believe
that if the Rays trade away a bunch of stuff for Sabbathia, they will only do so if they can sign him in return. They’ll have to spend tons of money to do it, but if they can, they’ll pull the trigger if they think he’s worth it.
As I mentioned today...
I heard he prefers a NL team next season.

got back Josh Hamilton. created Tim Beckham and created Jay Bruce so I can pretend we took him over Townsend.

Howell definitely deserves it
But middle relievers don’t make the All-Star team. Longoira is a rookie so he’s a stretch. Navi seems like a logical choice. I still think Kaz has a shot too.
I have moved on
I am not nearly as scared of the Yanks as I am the Tigers
they figured out they are supposed to be good and for anyone wondering, that isn’t a good thing.
I hold no regard to anybody who went on a streak during interleague play

There is a reason why Joba was in the Pen to start

worst move by Hank
moving Joba to the rotation or passing on Johan?
well Joba is prob a starter cuz they passed on Santana.
Joba throws too hard and he is way too amped up, he would be a great closer.
At some point in time...
The Yanks will have to build components of their team from their farm system. They can’t keep trading away their farm to get players. They’ve already tried buying an all-star team, it hasn’t worked for them. The Yankees are probably going to have to allow themselves to regress a little more before they get really good again.
Isn't it great that everyone talks about our 3 "aces"
and we got another starter with 9 wins? Quite a nice situation…
I could use a smoke and a shot.

There were a total of 11 starts of 160 pitches or more during the 1988-89 seasons. But there hasn’t been one since 1997, when Boston’s Tim Wakefield knuckleballed his way to a 169-pitch outing against Milwaukee.
