Agreed. I just can't get over how many clutch hits Ortiz has (Sox fan or not). He just wins or puts them back into so many games. Without him, there would have been no Ring, and far less if any playoff appearances. He is just clutch. That puts him #1 in my book, but I have no arguement with anyone putting Pujols #1. ARod shouldn't crack the top 2. Like it or not, his October performances should be looked at when talking about the best hitters in the game. |

Hot Dog Don aka "Lugo for 4" and Jhonny would have to battle it out for that title. What do you think the over/under on combined hits or errors are for them this ALCS? |

How many homers and RBI's in April and May really matter? You tell me the last home run in April that carried a team to a playoff win... I think ARod is #3, no way I would put him above Pujols or Ortiz. |

Gosh sir...maybe it's a matter of perception. I see a very slow guy who just doesn't have range...great arm...but no range ...and sloooow. If They don't move him and put Cabrera at short ..then I give up. Cabrera is the next Vizquel.Frankly I think Cabrera should be at short now....and I'D sit Peralta......I really would ...at the very least when Carmona and Westbrooks are pitching. Don't forget all of Here's Jhonny Boneheads base running blunders. I mean how do you get picked off first with the bases loaded!!? |

Maybe then they could have lost in the NLDS just like the Yanks did with ARod's help... |

So you would bench Peralta who had the best at bats of anyone on the team in post season and play Barfield?? You are a bit of a mystery.

Yes...I would have done this thing long before the reg. season ended. I'm not sure where all of this numbers come from or how they are calculated. The guy was horrible last year and even Wegde and Shapiro admitted that. They got him up a little for this season......but you can't go from horrible to above average...can you? I see a sub par ss.....who also loves to lead or be near the top in so's. I'd have Sizemore in left field,too, and Frank G. in center since he is by the overwhelming majority of Indians thinkers thier very best def. outfielder and a natural cf guy.Maybe runners will stop flying from first to thrid with great fequency then. I happen to think def. first in any sport...and up the mid. def. in bb is very important in my mind. I saw most of the Yankee series....if you can't see his deficiencies displayed in that series...then I'll say you win this one. |

So I am not completely given to proclamations from the deep thinkers all the time. Shapiro does a good job without question, but he is not infallible. Peralta is a very good player...not flawless...but he hit .467 with a .579 OBP and .667 and 4 walks in 4 games. But you are in the mode of INdian fans who love to bash Peralta so it is typical...but oh so wrong. REgarding Gutierrez, you generally want your strongest arm in right field to limit baserunning which is where he is. Sizemore is a better fit in center with their current construction. Yuo certainly cannot play an automatic out like Barfield at this time. I would not be totally opposed to playing Cabrera at short and moving Peralta to 3rd. But I'm not sure if Barfield will ever come around to allow that to happen.
