Theo is a joke - I can't fathom how a Bill James' / BJ prodigy prediction Matrix could give Theo that #. They are killing WiMP by not getting him regular AB's. <BR/><BR/>His feilding & hitting have slumped terribly b/c his confidence is ruined b/c his playing time is sporatic.<BR/><BR/>he has no value to the team on the bench for the next 2 months. the guy starting in right, Drew, will be given every opportunity in the world to prove he can hit more than 10 HR a year & is not a poor-man's BJ Surhoff. <BR/><BR/>so now, the Sox have compromised both their RF & off-the-bench Right-Handed hitter. <BR/><BR/>let's hope it doesn't prove to be their "fatal" flaw (a term theo likes to use when convenient for his reputation).norianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10789113719089662945noreply@blogger.com
