So --- are you suggesting that Jaso should now be our starting centerfielder?

<t>I believe the Bucs have been trying to limit the number of innings and appearances that Watson needs to make because he strikes me as a pitcher who is essentially worn out. I have no confidence in Tony at this point, but I believe using him less makes sense to try and preserve his arm and the lik...

Andrew Lambo and Jean Machi were both released yesterday.

<t>This team has a host of weaknesses and few strengths.<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> Base running is horrible. Without Marte, there is no one on this team that seems to have better than a 50 - 50 chance of stealing a base. But perhaps more damaging is the number of stupid mistakes on the bases and the in...

<t>Got home really late form a meeting. <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> I watched last night's game on speed dial, meaning that it took all of 10 minutes to see more of the same by quickly scrolling through the game. <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> Can't hit, good starting pitching except for the 1st inning, and --...

<t>First --- I was thrilled to hear that the Bucs have finally noticed that Polanco is not a LF'er and that they decided to move him back to RF. <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> Secondly --- In watching the play in the 9th, it looks like he has decided to bring the indecisive play that he exhibited in LF to ...

<t>Dog<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> At present, Bell's improved defense at first (compared to last year) and his hitting are one of the few bright spots on the team. Frankly, I would not mess with him and I would hope that they soon stop replacing him on defense in the latter innings. <br/> <br/> <br/> <b...

<t>I know this team needs offense, but why not find an outfielder somewhere; someone who can actually judge and catch a line drive, a short fly ball into the outfield or even one over their head. Our current outfield play is costing the team games and forcing starting pitchers to throw more pitches ...

<t>Polanco is a major disappointment. <br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> He clearly is not a left fielder, particularly for a team that plays half of its games at PNC. I particularly loath how he chases (not pursues) in the corner and then turns and throws sidearm (almost underhand) to the infield. Way too cav...

NH --- We need an outfielder. Someone who can judge a fly ball and a line drive, who can catch it after judging it and who may have enough arm to prevent a team from running wild on the bases against our outfielders.
