Around SBN: The Ten Worst Swings Of The 2011 Season

The Rangers have reinstated outfielder Nelson Cruz from the 15-day disabled list, making room for him on the active roster by optioning not outfielder Julio Borbon, whose play has made it impossible to send him out, but instead right-handed reliever Guillermo Moscoso.

As did I...

My head almost exploded before I took a deep breath and read it again…

I'm not too big of a fan of sending down Moscoso

By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.

Does anyone else...

…think of “Midnight Run” when they see that name?

Great movie.

I need to look around for a DVD. Was it ever digitally restored?

And the little bastard threw it for a swinging strike three in a 3-2 count. He’s blessed. And ballsy.

Very good flick, I love the look on CGrodin’s face when he’s about to take off on that prop plane.

More Jason Jennings. Oh well. Moscoso will be back shortly after Labor Day.

Too bad he couldn't have gotten a hit while down there.

I thought for sure Jennings would hit the DL for Cruz to be reactivated.

Gracchus (about Obama): I think he knows what America is. America is the mob. Conjure money for them and they'll be distracted. Take away their freedom and still they'll roar. The beating heart of America is not the paper of the Constitution, it's the power of the media. He'll bring them debt - and they will love him for it.

No need to argue with AJM about Jennings

Jason Jennings is what Luis Mendoza is to AJM.

Because Moscosos can get a strikeout

And doesn’t let 56% of his inherited runners to score

So ideally...

Borbon
Young
Hamilton
Cruz
Kinsler
Byrd
HanKKK/AJ
Tea/Pudge
Elvis…
 
I’m about ready to see Borbon almost every day… Use Murphy to spell Borbon and Byrd every couple of days…

I like this...

just replace Hankkk with Davis, and I would be happy.

my better is better than your better.

When he learns how to play better than half assed in the OF

Huh?

Did I miss something? Has Borbon half assed it in the OF so far?

Bryan Smith (12:17:17 PM PT): Justin Smoak and Josh Hamilton. The AL West might just have found their Bash Brothers, v. 2.0.

by bigsteve on Aug 20, 2009 6:08 PM CDT up reply actions  

He hasn't...

not sure what Rodney is referring to. He has shown some very good range and speed with a suspect arm.

That’s all I’ve seen.
