May 20, 200917 yr Saying Emilio is Jacob's replacement is like saying Taylor is Olsen's replacement. In effect they replaced the other, but that wasn't the intent. I do not agree that we've blocked Gaby and Logan. Cantu is capable of returning to third base. And if it comes to that, it wouldn't be a bad thing. Boni has been learning to make the adjustments. But more are coming. Something not shown on TV... Lately first pitch to him and the IFers are on the move, anticipating a bunt. Even before the pitch. Normally, he shows bunt, and then pulls back. He really hasn't mastered the art of bunting well enough to date. Something I would like to see him work on. Use that speed to his advantage. And at times show bunt, and then pull back and slap the ball over the charging IFers on that first pitch. Couple ABs like that and it will keep them honest.
May 20, 200917 yr You'll understand when you're older...... .....and understand that just because you are young does not mean you have all the answers. Or even know all the questions.
May 20, 200917 yr He beat out Dallas and Gaby (don't even understand the point of bringing up how Dallas did in ST, as nobody is or even did argue that he looked good). In order to lose something (which Gaby did, his job at first base), there needs to be competition. You cannot lose or win something without competition. The starting position was a competition between Gaby, Emilio, and Dallas. The positions were different, yes, but we're talking about just starting, not winning a position. You're saying that it wasn't a competition because Gaby lost 1b, and emilio beat Dallas for 3b. But, transitive property. Emilio doesn't get to have a competition at third base without Gaby doing poor, ergo, him and Gaby were competing.
May 20, 200917 yr Neither Gaby nor Dallas were beat out of anything, they "lost", and that isn't even the right term, they underperformed so profoundly neither gave the front office any reason to consider placing them on the active roster. EB was in the equation because he put himself in a position for consideration, go back and read the ST daily reports etc., the first two would not have made any roster in baseball regardless of anyone else in camp.

May 20, 200917 yr Does Anyone else belive getting out of Dolphin Stadium has helped Jakes numbers so far along with getting the oppurtunity to just DH a few games?

I think you're wrong on the whole Gaby thing. Sure, we all know that the team was crazy about Bonifacio the minute he was traded for, but I don't think the job was intended to come at Gaby's expense the entire time. Gaby just stunk it up so profoundly that no team in their right mind would have handed him a started job. And it just so happened that it was a convenient way to get their favorite trading piece in the lineup.
May 20, 200917 yr emilio just showed what he brings that jake didn't bring - stole 3rd base and then scored on an infield out
May 20, 200917 yr Gaby Sanchez was horrendously bad in spring training, and thats the reasons his AB total was so low.
May 20, 200917 yr emilio is frustrating though executes a bunt single and then gets picked off.............. blech
May 20, 200917 yr Gaby Sanchez was horrendously bad in spring training, and thats the reasons his AB total was so low. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, that is correct. However, they should be backed up with more than smugness and stubborness.

However, they should be backed up with more than smugness and stubborness. Gaby Sanchez hit .216/.250/.194 in Spring Training with 7 Ks to 1 BB in 36 at bats. Anything else you would like me to back up? Gaby was just plain terrible.

However, they should be backed up with more than smugness and stubborness. I agree. So how about you budge? I mean, in the first 10 games of spring, Gaby started 6 games and subbed in a 7th. That's the same number as Dan Uggla and one more start than Bonifacio. As spring progressed, his AB fell.

I mean honestly. never really got a change to get going 35 AB for a player that was suppose to lose a job is not right
May 20, 200917 yr Maybe if he had put up an OPS above .450 and didnt have a K/BB ration of 7 to 1 he might of gotten more than 36 at bats, ever think of that? And still, once again, what does his stats at New Orleans have to do with anything?

May 21, 200917 yr Not really. They didnt know what his AAA stats would be, all they knew was that he was just head scratchingly bad in spring training. He hit himself out of a job. 36 at bats was all they needed.

They made a mistake by giving him only 36 at bats, despite the fact that he was awful in those 36 at bats, because he has had a good year in AAA so far? That is your argument? If it is, that is a very poor argument.

May 21, 200917 yr So you admit you have a poor argument that makes very little sense? first their is no argument, you don't agree ,but you have never agree with Sanchez talent and always put up a show to get me to go at it with you and out of spite I play with you.but the truth is I give a sh*t
