Ellsbury is going to be public enemy #1 around here when Hicks gets back and they send down Frazier. I'm getting angry just thinking about it.

Headley and Ellsbury need to go if we are trying to make the playoffs. I'm not saying we should but I don't see us getting in with them stealing ABs from potentially productive hitters. I also think both are no longer worth talking about in the field.
no disagreement, especially about Headley -  
Del Shofner : 7/20/2017 9:46 pm : link
I've actually been relatively supportive of him here, as I don't think he's a bum - but I don't think he's a real first baseman on a playoff team either. As for Ellsbury - the contract is the problem as we all know. On the merits he'd be the one to go once Hicks is back.

They simply cannot play Ellsbury, Headley, and Holliday together at this point. The first 2 are awful and Holliday has done literally nothing outside of the Kimbrel HR.

Cashman said today Frazier is the odd man out when Hicks is back. Ellsbury isn't going anywhere. Red Thunder back to oblivion despite clearly making Ellsbury his bitch.
Where Gardy is batting  
KingZ : 7/21/2017 12:03 am : link
Where Headley and Ellsbury are batting provides a lot of information (IMO) about where they stand with these vets with 2018 contracts. Headley, who I like and Ellsbury might not be on the team in 10 days or may be reduced to pinch hitters.

Hawkins committed the cardinal sin of wanting to wear #21 (which I realize now is silly to be upset about), then completely sucking. They traded for Matt Lawton to help the OF and he proceeded to suck in every way imaginable. After the season, he got suspended for steroids.

Don't ever let anyone tell you guys who use steroids automatically get inflated stats.
