I expected more from him!<br />After less than 20 games, you send a guy to the wood shed? Didi is what his card says he is, right? Again I say his card shows him a well above average glove at SS and a lot of ???s about how well he will hit.<br />Beltran, on the other hand, has had one season (part of which he was injured) and less than 20 games plus all of Spring training to show his suff...he has and we don't like it! But again, he may need a bit more time...maybe!<br />About a week ago it was pointed out we may be better with Drew at SS and Refsy at 2nd. Another point was made to make a trade for Peraza but, the Braves say No Way! Dumping Ryan and sending Didi (if he can't do better) to the Farm (if he has options) opens up a place for Refsy and Pirela. One can't have too much hitting!Ken Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07134936968221887101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-38413620508318943242015-04-24T09:13:22.488-04:002015-04-24T09:13:22.488-04:00Peat Moss how is that spelling?

They think because they have been around since the 10 commandments were made by Moses that they have a clue. Didi is not ready for prime time nor will he ever be. He is what he is and you are seeing the real Didi. I would rather have Ref at 2nd and Drew at SS and have the learning curb come from Ref. The kid Refsnyder knows how to pay the game and should be given the opportunity to learn on the job just as Didi was given. Time to make the move and pick up a better offensive player as well.Ken Hanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08248552174229519871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-30224878625504629142015-04-24T07:03:47.337-04:002015-04-24T07:03:47.337-04:00It's probably a good thing you guys didn't...It's probably a good thing you guys didn't read this blog in it's first three weeks with the big boys, probably would have never came back. <br /><br />And yes little p, make Ryan go away.

Children and liberals always pick up their marbles and run home to mommy because they can't deal with the facts.<br /><br />Mr.Hans, I am sorry to hear your childish response to a simple comment by an old man that never offended anyone. But you may wish to join a long line of people that don't like me, but then again most of them are long gone. <br /><br />You may be able to write negative and snide remarks about my team and think they are funny, and change the subject by adding something that was discussed days ago into a conversation because you can't backup most of what you write with facts. You give one example as proof you are right about something that is prevalent among many players, if not most players. There is always a time of adjusting to new people and places let alone with teammates one will be spending much time with...psychology 101...some handle it differently than others! So again, I must be wrong, right?Ken Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07134936968221887101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-19588052894674864312015-04-23T21:27:51.140-04:002015-04-23T21:27:51.140-04:00DIDI GREGORIUS...aka..The Scare Crow.
Ever think h...DIDI GREGORIUS...aka..The Scare Crow.<br />Ever think he is NOT struggling ? That he has hit the ground running ?<br />Frightening, isn't it ? It is to me.<br /><br />I have missed more games than I have watched. But I can read.<br />And from what I garner, something is really wrong here. <br />After playing this game all of his life, how can he do such stupid things, that people are now<br />calling you brainless ?<br /><br />Maybe Gregoius, really is a AA-AAA player, with occasional sexy flashes. <br />Maybe you have seen his whole act ? A one act play. A dumb trade. It happens all the time.<br />That's what I think.<br /><br />Pardon my ignorance with names, and for being repetitive, but if this bottom of the<br />line-up-middle infielder situation continues...it must be addressed soon.<br /><br />My two cents...Release Ryan, and make Petit (.190) and Gregorius (.200) disappear.<br />That wasn't so hard ? But we have two empty roster spots ? Duh ?<br />Robert Refsnyder & Jose Pirela.<br />The line-up is lengthened, and the team is better offensively.<br />What is so hard ?<br /><br />The Elf is nodding his head now in agreement.<br /><br /><br /><br />patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00008211991899947734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-87519056407262711442015-04-23T20:02:30.504-04:002015-04-23T20:02:30.504-04:00Reed my last post to you EVER I promise.

My blood pressure has been the same for over 55 years...low! <br />Until you have been there and done what I have you will never understand how little, little things bother me. It bothers you, when shown to be wrong and won't admit being wrong ever! <br />I will admit when wrong, and as I am "The Jeter Hater" around here and very seldom get comments to my posts, I should be upset but not at all. This place gives me a nice outlet without being called names.<br />Many around here grew up with Jeter and the Core 4+1 as I did with Mickey, Joe "D", Yogi and Whitey. So I understand them not appreciating when I point out a fault of his, even though I am not alone in doing so. Jeter is an icon in New York and every generation needs their Heros!<br /><br />A little long winded as usual!Ken Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07134936968221887101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-78309730560558421322015-04-23T18:26:36.236-04:002015-04-23T18:26:36.236-04:00It mostly has depended on the personality of the p...It mostly has depended on the personality of the player, age and time in the majors. We have two guys right now that had troubles adjusting to NY in the person of McCann and Beltran although I would give Beltran a break for being injured we had other players such as Tino, Sierra, Tartabull, Posada among others. Then we had players such as O'Neill, his personality wouldn't let him fail.<br /><br />Do you see the pattern yet? Some, most have a lot of troubles adjusting and other have only a blip of problems at first but all seem to have an adjustment time of some sort. Yes, even A-Rod and Jeter to some extent but both of their talents and personalities were strong and never let errors get to them so it never bothered great hitting.<br />Ken Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07134936968221887101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-80403388184754380442015-04-23T14:21:51.526-04:002015-04-23T14:21:51.526-04:00How did CC do when he got here?

Look at the back of Jeter's card...one would think he was the best SS that ever played (other than A-Rod). Not even close, he was one of the better hitters but not a good defensive player at all, on the Defensive WAR list he wasn't good enough to make the list at #984, while Phil Rizzuto was at 27th and was a MVP in 1950. All facts fans, and it makes me a Jeter hater...that is the word for telling the truth nowadays! I still would have Jeter as my SS for 7 of his 20 years and A-Rod for the first 9.Ken Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07134936968221887101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-34679461209568285742015-04-22T22:24:44.007-04:002015-04-22T22:24:44.007-04:00SO.............................
