April 11, 200620 yr Author Tito isn't confident with Pena fielding in Fenway yet, which I think is a wise move for right now. :lol He'll never be conifdent of Pena fielding anywhere. Actually Pena's best defensive spot is CF.
April 11, 200620 yr Jesus kid, give it a damn rest. Do you throw every player that the Reds trade away under the bus just because they aren't on your team anymore? I saw him in person in Baltimore on Saturday night and he was fine. You know in Fenway, there is this thing called the Green Monster? Yeah, it's not like playing in a normal outfield. That's why. Your tool meter is through the roof right now, congrats.

April 11, 200620 yr Pena is considered one of the worst defensive outfielders in all of baseball. That much is definitely true. Of course, if he's gonna hit 500 foot home runs, who cares?

I'm not saying he is going to be anything great defensively, but he hasn't gotten the chance to so I'm not going to start knocking him like FeLo has because he is a former Red. I'd like to see what our coaching staff does with him offensively and defensively considering his young age and his new surroundings.

I want Pena to do well, but him sitting on the bench isn't going to do him any good. Ok you can wait and see for yourself what his defense looks like, and your opinon will be the same as mine.
April 11, 200620 yr Trot banged up so Pena is going to get a crash course in Fenway outfield defense this afternoon.
April 11, 200620 yr Author Trot banged up so Pena is going to get a crash course in Fenway outfield defense this afternoon. Dang 2 outfielders banged up for you know.
April 11, 200620 yr Actually from what I've heard and the little I've seen, Pena has an outstanding arm, and could more than likely turn to a plus outfielder. He's still young.

April 11, 200620 yr Author You win for today FeLo. Prime example of Pena not knowing Fenway today. Yikes. What happend? I doubt it had anything to do with Fenway.
April 11, 200620 yr It did. He didn't have any idea about the height or distance behind him of the outfield fence and a 2-run homer went off his glove.
April 11, 200620 yr Author It did. He didn't have any idea about the height or distance behind him of the outfield fence and a 2-run homer went off his glove. :lol Funny thing is the exact same thing happend last year when we played you guys at Fenway. No joke, but you are right that does have to do with Fenway.
April 12, 200620 yr I hate ANY PLAYER who EVER played in the Reds organization. They are completely worthless. ESPECIALLY outfielders... :mischief Oh Paulie... I miss ya!
April 17, 200620 yr It did.

No joke, but you are right that does have to do with Fenway. Well today's didn't. I like Pena a lot and he has a ton of potentially offensively, but I had no idea how bad he is defensively. He seems like a future DH. He made an atrocious play in the field today totally misplaying the ball and then tonight on Baseball Tonight, Boomer and the gang were making fun of it. I thought you were exaggerating FeLo, but damn is he bad in the field. Didn't much matter though as Beckett mowed the opposition down anyway.

He is terrible in the field, but if he hits 40 it will make up for it.
April 17, 200620 yr any hopes of pena being a good defensive outfielder are hilarious. Average...maybe.
