soonerevan:
Mark Kotsay is in the lineup again 2day and I am wondering why Tito is putting him in there so much because after the first couple of games w/ us he has stunk. I think he should put Cora at ss and Lowrie at 3rd. Lowell has been taken off the ALDS roster and Gil ............ has taken his place. Thoughts?
Obviously they see something in Velasquez that they don't see in Bailey...not sure what, but then again, I didn't really follow the PawSox much. Let's see if they stick with him for the ALCS.
As for Kotsay, he didn't perform too badly in the ALDS. And his flexibility to play RF and 1st puts him in the same category as Bailey, except with more big league experience. And with Drew being day-to-day, you have to have five outfielders. I guess they rate him higher than Casey when they put him at first. They really shouldn't need him in the outfield when they have Coco, Ellsbury & Bay.
But you know, we have to be grateful our fielders didn't choke the way the Halos' did. Time to get tough for those Rays! If we can take them, we can handle whatever the NL can throw at us!!
