Glad to see Rua in there. Wish Desmond would show up.

There's a difference between thinking a guy is cheating or using PEDs and him actually having done it. Cruz has admitted to doing it AND there's a paper trail. He never actually tested positive for anything.

Slightly off topic, I also have nothing against Bonds being in the HOF, bc anything he did was while MLB purposefully looked the other way and created no rules governing it, also he never tested positive... after the fact sure, but not while you're secretly condoning it bc its making you lots of money

Do I think he used? Probably, but there's no positive test AND it wasn't against any rules in baseball

There is also a difference between a guy doing something and him continuing to do it. A big difference.

Rua at 1B instead of Mitch. And the SportsHoopla Board celebrated.

So we have 4 positions for 5 guys. Mazara, Rua, Moreland, Desmond, and DeShields. Will this turn into a situation where everyone plays 80% of the time in one of those positions, or will Desmond continue to play everyday, or will someone else play less than 80% of the time? I guess one more option is for one of the other guys besides Desmond to start playing almost everyday. Hopefully it will be fluid and the hottest guys will play slightly more than the others.

Yes and with good cause

I just think he is, he found a way to hide it before, that's my opinion and sticking to it, you can give him the benefit of the doubt til the cows come home, and that's your choice/right too

Don't think Mazara leaves the field, except to rest, until he shows he can't hit ML pitching

Rua's earned more ABs while Mitch haas lost lost ABs to Ru

And one of Desmond and DDJ needs to distinguish themselves (slight edge to DDJ right now)

Right on JTA. Can't agree more.

The good news about this " problem" of having too much talent for not enough spots is that hambone can take his time coming back.

I don't think anyone even cares about that guy right now, a non-issue

It wouldn't totally shock me if Hamilton was all but done. Meaning, he's got to get back to 90% and be able to contribute in LF or else we put him on the 60 day DL again or cut him. It's that easy for me at this point.

I had rather cut him than put him on the 60 day DL again. Our future has no time and room for him. He is done in my opinion.

Don't know, but I suspect the team will roll with him for a while longer.

I've mentioned it already that things may get real interesting around mid-season, regardless of where we're positioned in the race.

Life be a changing in Arlington.

That's right. It will be interesting to see what happens at that point. By then something else may come up.

 

[donaldson79]

It would be really encouraging to see Holland come out and throw his A game from the start of the game. And for some reason, I really feel good about his start tonight.

That's the dude who needs to be on PEDs. PEDs for all so no one ever has to be on the DL.

I may not make it to the end of this one tonight
