Tex ain't a star. You gettin' that kind of JAK , then you should be a star. He's just an o.k. player. I'd give Victorino 20 mil a year before I'd give it to Tex. At least Victorino is a stimulant, and can hit some difficult pitches in the post. Tex is unproven in the post. He's a 10-12 mil/ year guy gettin' paid 20 mil for being a good citizen.

No, he isn't a star. They got him to drive in runs, and he's walking himself into being Cannon's favorite OBP KEN DOLL. He's hitting .197, and has 10 RBI. He will do better, but I am not a big fan of 1st baseman getting 20 mil a year to walk to 1st base.

Velez got sent down Monday and recalled yesterday due to an injury. Velez is just a 25th man. OPS will never go past .700. .680 will be at best. He can play any position, but is a liability on the infield. For a team that lacks offense, they can't afford to put him on the field. Burriss is only 24 and part of their future. Considered the 2nd fastest player behind Bonifacio (who's falling flat on his face). If Burriss struggles, they'll just swap him with Frandsen, who is performing decently in Fresno. They'll keep both playing full time. Juan Uribe is in front of Velez as the 1st Utility infielder. I don't Velez will have a better chance for any team (unless its Cincy or Houston). Lewis, Rowand and Winn are the best Ofers they have on defense. Schierholtz is their top PH. They are going to go to him more in the stretch. Velez had a shot yesterday after Broxton walked in the tying run, and he whiffed chasing. His stance does not look good up there. Confidence could be shaken.

I agree with you on Fred Lewis. He belongs in the 1,2, or 8 spot. Actually trading Winn or benching Lewis to give Schierholtz more at-bats is what should be happening right now.

Oh come on...Velez got Broxton's best 3 pitches all night. I don't know what Torre told him, but those three were nice pitches. They were "So Fancy!!" Guy needs to play daily. What would anybody's batting average be if they only got to face closers?

Where were you two when he was hitting .350(playing every game) during September? Was enough for you to avoid betting me about it. Go back. You'll see. I asked you guys many times, but you got scared off.

This is what you said before. He had a shot Tuesday Night when Broxton couldn't find the K zone. Yes. Broxton threw a straight strike, and then threw 2 pitcher pitches. Zambrano and Gallardo are outhitting this guy.

I guess Bochy is a terrible manager.

Well it's better than Fantasy League (with nothing on the line.) There's always this game for those who don't like to bet games of skill:
