Zambrano - a DH??

[chopsx9]

He's got to be lobbying Lou hard for a start in the upcoming interleague games. Is there any chance at all that he gets a shot?

[Banedon]

No.

[javy knows my name]

Not a single, solitary one IMO. I expect Soriano to get 75% of the starts there and Hoff and Ward to split the rest

[Ryno is God 23]

Not a single, solitary one IMO. I expect Soriano to get 75% of the starts there and Hoff and Ward to split the rest

 

And Lou will say it is to save Sori's legs as not to hurt his fragile feelings.

Hooray for random bashing.

[Derwood]

zambrano is about 10% as good a hitter as he thinks he is

What fragile feelings?

 

Oh, right. You completely made that up.

I was joking around....Poking fun at all the writers that talk about Soriano be very sensitive and what not. You win some and you lose some and I missed on that joke. :banghead:

I hear plenty of people on the radio going off on this tangent, and see people posting about it on messageboards and blogs, but is it really something "official" sports writers have gone off on? It's seemed more like a hysterical creation of the fans.

:shock: He thinks he's hitting 3.640/3.640/5.230 !!!!

Maybe.....it seems like the whole "Cubs protecting Sori after the dropped ball BS" fueled the fire as well. It is more on the radio the more I think about it and they are not "official sportswriters" that is for sure.

[BigSlick]

The only legitimate reason for Soriano to be leading off is that he is fragile and can't handle the thought of batting anywhere else, so I don't see why it is such a ridiculous claim

 

plus you guys watch him play, he is kind of a goofball and makes some dumb decisions in the field, he doesn't help his case

This should be green.

When Soriano isn't the DH, I'd like Soto to be given that role.

Not a bad idea to save his legs a little.

Ward apparently won't be ready to come off of the DL by then.

[CarmenFanzone]

You can't put both catchers in the lineup at the same time. I'd say on turf let Edmonds DH and Johnson in CF.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

You can't put both catchers in the lineup at the same time.

 

Sure you can, it's not like if the one gets hurt you can't move the other there.

[Garwilly]

You can't put both catchers in the lineup at the same time.

 

 

Sure you can. If something happens to your starter, you simply lose the DH for the rest of the game.

You can, but it doesn't make sense.

Why not? Soto's (hopefully) useful bat stays in the lineup, but he gets a break from having to pull catching duties for a few games. If something happens to Blanco, he just gears up and takes over.

Sure it does. You rest Soto's legs to keep him fresh. The downside is you deal with Blanco's bat(although over a couple games there's not a super difference between him and Cedeno), and if by some tragedy Blanco is hurt, you move Soto to catcher. Considering that Starting pitchers only hit about 2-3 times a game before being removed for pinch hitters, the risk is that in the unlikely occasion that Blanco gets hurt, you may have to deal with hitting with your pitcher a couple ABs. That's far from a terrible situation, especially considering one of our starters is OPSing nearly .900 while another leads the league in sacrifices, and definitely worth the benefit of keeping Soto from wearing down.

Neither of these guys are even on the roster right now, correct?

You lose the DH in that case.
