any chance Theriot gets more time at second than Derosa?

 

Hendry doesn't sign a free agent to a 3 year deal to sit him on the bench.

Waste of money...

[Fred Hornkohl]

Blalock walked

[JonnyRed]

Maybe we should at least give him a week into the regular season before we call him a waste, huh?

[98navigator]

BOOO

[Fred Hornkohl]

Laird homered to left field , Blalock scored

[C.C.]

That was a shot.

[RichHillIsABeast]

That was a dumb pitch.

Oh, Derosa should be a useful player if he's used correctly. And I haven't seen a projection yet that calls for Theriot to have a better OPS than Derosa. But I do believe Theriot would put up a better OBP than Derosa, and that might be more important for this team.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Vazquez homered to right field

[C.C.]

That was another shot..

[RichHillIsABeast]

This is how you get a 6.02 ERA.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Wright struck out (called)

[FergieJ31]

This Texas ballclub is a team that is going to try to outscore you :roll:

[CubColtPacer]

Well, we know that Marquis is usually really good or awful in his starts. He has been like that this spring, and this one is one where we would hope Lou would pull him early during the regular season to minimize the damage.

[bcruise]

Ugh...That's the Marquis I knew and loved (when he was a Cardinal, that is :roll: )

[Fred Hornkohl]

Kata flied out to center field

[98navigator]

Fonz is looking more comfortable in CF.

[RichHillIsABeast]

Well, Soriano looked good on those last two outs.
