September 1, 200520 yr Lets see.... 1. Pierre 2. Castillo 3. Cabrera 4. Delgado 5. Encarnacion 6. Gonzalez/Lo Duca 7. Gonzalez/Hermida 8. Treanor 9. Pitcher :o
September 1, 200520 yr He deserves it after that... That is something I'll never forget, just like Miguel's walk-off shot. June 20th, 2003.
September 1, 200520 yr Delgado - 1B Castillo - 2B Gonzalez - SS Cabrera - 3B Hermida/Conine - LF Pierre - CF Encarnacion/Conine - RF :mischief2 :thumbup :notworthy
September 1, 200520 yr Lowell should not start anymore this season. 924512[/snapback] should he try to drink a gallon of milk in an hour? :mischief2 :mischief
September 1, 200520 yr If you bench Lowell now, though, kiss the gold glove goodbye... 924523[/snapback] Gold gloves aren't usually awarded to guys with .230 something averages.

We need energy. This team plays like their manager looks. Hermida = Kick up the @ss
September 1, 200520 yr Lowell and his .213 BA for August needs to stay on the bench. We're in the heat of a tight playoff race and his unimpressive demeanor and pouting in the dugout are doing nothing but bringing this team down. His best position right now is in the clubhouse.

Pitching and defense win more games than you must fathom.

September 1, 200520 yr Lowell needs to go to the bench but.... You can make any predictions about hermida after only seeing one at bat.
September 1, 200520 yr Lowell needs to go to the bench but.... You can make any predictions about hermida after only seeing one at bat. 924707[/snapback] But with the way we are scoring, we can sure give him a chance.
September 1, 200520 yr The man has had 1 AB. 1 AB. 924724[/snapback] An agressive one at that. We really need an agressive boost.
September 1, 200520 yr I'm not putting him in the lineup for good or anything. I just wanted him to stay in tonight. For now I'd just throw him in once in a while, platoon or whatever, let's see if he's hot. Never know what can happen. If nothing else it's another bat off the bench.
September 1, 200520 yr The man has had 1 AB. 1 AB. 924724[/snapback] Thank God someone finally said it.
September 1, 200520 yr Lets see.... 1. Pierre 2. Castillo 3. Cabrera 4. Delgado 5. Encarnacion 6. Gonzalez/Lo Duca 7. Gonzalez/Hermida 8. Treanor 9. Pitcher :o 924490[/snapback] Yes an unproven prospect is gonna make a bad offense turn into :o . :plain

Pitcher :o 924490[/snapback] Yes an unproven prospect is gonna make a bad offense turn into :o . :plain 924750[/snapback] Lets just give it a try. We have no HR power. Some more juice would be good. Especially from the left side. If Mini-Me came up and hit it out of the park I would still bench Lowell because this team just needs a spark badly. Give the kid a couple of games! :crossfingers
September 1, 200520 yr Author The man has had 1 AB. 1 AB. 924724[/snapback] Ive seen enough. This guy is a top 5 prospect in baseball. Hell, if Francouer can do it- Hermida can do it. This guy Hermida was the MVP of HIS DOUBLE A ALL STAR game. He is the real deal. He hit .300 and walked 100 times. Lowell is batting .230. Hermida needs to start. PERIOD.

September 1, 200520 yr Author If Bobby Cox were coaching this team then Lowell would have been on the bench a long time ago.
