You put him at the top he gets more first pitch fastballs that he can Jeterian into right field for a single.. then you have a run of your best hitters coming up with runners on base.<br /><br />It's not ideal but it works better then what we have now. Marginal upgrades are key right now.

Every time ...GRANT BALFOUR & THE PROMISED LAND.<br />Every time I post about Balfour, I get stats that mean nothing ! Look at this latest :<br /><br />" Oakland McAfee Coliseum helped his fly ball tendencies immensely, like I said, and he is getting exposed for what he was before his time in Oakland and what he is now, a home run prone relief pitcher with fire." <br />Offered up by Daniel....... I must address this as, baloney, son ! <br /><br />Grant Balfours failings have to do with an unearth like stadium. And hostile fans, fueled by a left wing manager. They dislike his wife, because she is out of reach for them.<br />It was given the kiss of death, from day one. They hated anyone special, who spoke with an accent.<br />Who could excel there ? Here is a guy, that needs to be transplanted. To New York !<br /><br />Balfour, is an early version of Mariano, is now under the bus. His manager wishes he would drowned.<br />Brian Cashman.....strike now ! They will absorb most of his 2 year contract.....they hate him.<br />And, what you get back...is a pathway to another championship.<br /><br />Think not ? Check out this killer closer jihad.<br />Kelly...Warren...Betances...Grant Balfour...and, Robertson. ( Balfour, and Robertson are interchangeable. ) <br />Big Popi's biggest nightmare...Balfour...serving up heat..and laughing at him.<br />Balfour is here for the taking. If ever the time to strike was at hand....it is now.<br /><br />PLEASE...no more baloney about the Oakland Stadium. It was just a work space.<br />And, Grant Balfour excelled there. Look it up.<br />patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00008211991899947734noreply@blogger.com
