Bring the kid up during the second half as part of a four-man, 2-position platoon with Pagan, Tatis, and Chavez. Jerry Gangsta can take him aside and tell him to think only about singles and doubles, line drives, and hustle-ball. Maybe Nixon can help us, but that remains to be seen. As for Church, hopefully he can slot back into right field soon, allowing F Martinez can stay put in Bingo, but at this point we may not be able to count on him. By fall we could have two Reyes and two Martinez in our line-up. Hopefully an upgrade from the ineffective Miller pitching tandem we had circa 1963.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('76050','David in Manhattan'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('76050','David in Manhattan','I say stick with F Martinez, avoid a high-priced Holliday.

I went to Fenway a few years back, went to Wrigley last year and no doubt about it...Shea Stadium sucks, but Yankee Stadium sucks harder. Wrigley rocks. Fenway rolls. Nuff said.

OK, so Evans goes back to Bingo and Cancel gets canceled, but what else do they do? Do they send Nixon down, but why would they get him to have him at AAA? A lot of bodies, then there’s the possibility of a trade.

Decisions, decisions…

Good riddance. Pelfrey is a beast right now and to set the record straight for the kid I think he has done an incredible job with the hand he has been dealt over the past few years. He had some hard times and never made a peep. Although it was Willie and Omar's decision to keep in the rotation, (one of the only good decisions he made in his tenure), Manual has loosened the tie on this team, and they are responding. And right now Pelfrey is front and center, what a fantastic run he is on, he looks like an ace right now.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('75551','TW'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('75551','TW','You are free to join me and my 12 pack when we watch that stadium crumble to nothing, I plan on peeing on the rubble, although defecation is a possibility.
