KMR - -Don't it always happen the day I post something about a guys lack of performance and he comes in that night and just pounds the ball. Well it's a long half left and I'm still not convinced. Way to make a fool out of me Delmon. I should bad mouth them all then we would have some hitting eh?

I hope my bashing does Gomez some good, but he's got to go as the leadoff hitter. He's the weaklink in the order until the #7 hitter. To many swings at the first pitch, not enough pitches taken. Span is in a similiar downhill spin.
It will never happen, but what about Mauer in the leadoff?? He has a very high OB% and makes good AB nearly every time and works the count. Move everbody up one spot and throw MOnroe or someone else in the mix and axe Gomez and or Span for awhile and put the one not axed in the 9 hole.
FOr those bashing DElmon Young--- he's hitting .294 with 11SB.
I'll take Young over Cuddie,,, especially since Young actually plays everyday. Buscher is underrated.

What don't you like about Youngs near 300 batting average? He hasn't had the miscues of that real rough patch earlier this year.

Gomez and Young and Cuddyer is what our outfield will be. Span has the options to go back for the couple of weeks until Sept. call ups.

Gomez just proves why he is a major leaguer! lead off double and then HUSTLE home on a bunt single!

zap i know what you mean, but i have been talking sh** about boof a lot (not so much in the forum) and he seems to keep being terrible. other guys (mud, tisosy), delmon's fielding almost made me want to kill him a little while ago. that's what all the bashing was about. you definately can't argue with his hitting, lately. let's just hope he keeps it up. i also do not agree with sending span down, since he is our new leadoff man. we just need to face the music and trade a young starter and some prospects for a power guy. That or they will see how span and young do the rest of the year and then decide whether to trade some guys for an actual power hitter. if they want to contend for a world series title, they need someone who can hit 30-40 over the fence. this being a rebuilding year, originally, i am sure the organization will not make any drastic moves before the deadline.
