Srod has a .268/
.339/.411 line so far this season. He is obviously playing a bit over his head. I think with SRod people focus on his weaknesses (cannot hit right handed pitching, cannot play the left side of the infield) and not on his strengths (can hit lefties, excellent D at first and second and can play all 3 outfield positions well).He is a limited player and certainly not a full time player, but he is a useful bench player. I do not think you should replace him unless you have someone better than Srod and I do not think Beckham is that player. At least not yet.

They also stuck with Shields after his 5.18 ERA in 2010 when people were screaming to get rid of him and Shields finished 3rd in the CY Young the next season. Of course Shield had a solid track record.

I missed that.

I jumped off that bus at about 7:25 last night. I’ve wasted my time defending Fauberto for too long. I can still see how the brain-trust can justify the signing, but alas it did not work.

I was wrong. And it’s a dirty, rotten shame. He has been absolutely atrocious.

And that’s the excuse we get from AF. What will happen once we lose the revenue sharing pot?

The real issue in my mind lies in following “the process” to a point of insanity. The Marlins brought Miggy up young and for good reason. The Rays need to let go of the concept of holding guys down so long. I would rather have a World Series and lose that special player that helped a few years later to free agency any day; he’s just going to free agency a year earlier. Roberto Hernandez should never have been in this rotation. Chris Archer should have been there from day one; nuff said.

Sardonic asides aside, I still ask of optimistic Rays fans like you, what’s the formula for possible improvement? You deal in the realistic? Tell me what Fuld is doing on this team besides educating JoMa on sabermetrics? Financially, a 62.5 million dollar payroll will only get you to the Series if all planets are in alignment. We had our shot in 2008. It won’t happen at 62.5 again. The future? How long will MLB tolerate a city drawing maybe 25,000 against the Yanks before the plug is pulled?
Have you noticed that on 3 occasions this year Durham actually out drew us?
You deal with rays colored glasses on.

Just mentioning it as a sardonic aside to a bad night.

Its cold hard reality. T chart pluses versus minuses

I deal here in the possible and the realistic and the financially feasable, presently AND long term.

When you suggest firing 1/6 of the roster, then correct yourself but then up the ante with canning Maddon in May………..well…..Don has found a soulmate who can actually communicate in the written english.
