Fahey up, Knott down (!)

[rolliefingers]

Oddly, Gibbons is hitting .270/.325/.405 and Patterson is hitting .303/.347/.379 vs. LHP. CPat went 3 for 3 vs. Pettitte last night. Obviously I wouldn't count on this trend continuing, but so far these guys have not been big liabilities vs. LHP.

I know. Small sample size.

Answer me this because...(I love learning about these minor league guys from you guys. Hence we never see their games.) Who is better House or Knott?

Knott can play the OF, House is probably the better all-around hitter.

My 2 cents is Knott is much more of a power threat then House. However both excel against lefties.

[OldNewGuy]

Didn't anyone else see CPat mash lefties last night? A dink, a duck snort, and a donk. No, I don't expect that luck to continue against lefties.

agreed! ....

This team really boggles my mind at times.

Im looking forward till when the roster expands then.

[Sports Guy]

No..but why have Knott up now? Im hearing Gibbons is going to get alot of PT the next couple weeks.

Because Gibbons can't hit lefties. So, don't play him versus them. And in that case, you need Knott up here.

Pittsburgh snagged him off of waivers, which means we passed on claiming him.

Wrong. Pittsburgh was ahead of us in the "waiver line" and we never had a chance to claim him.

I'm looking forward til when we lose this ridiculous fascination with Brandon Fahey. With Tejada hurt, a Gomez/Bynum platoon at SS is more than enough crappy offense for this team to handle.

At some point, you really just have to sit back and laugh.

They actually have probably outperformed Tejada over the last cple games!

5 pages and not one rational explanation of this move.

We need to find out who made this roster move because my respect for their intelligence just went down.

[TGO]

Wrong. Pittsburgh was ahead of us in the "waiver line" and we never had a chance to claim him.

(A) If only one claim is entered, the player's contract is assigned to that claiming club.

(B) If more than one club in the same league makes claims, the club currently lower in the standings gets the player.

© If clubs in both leagues claim the player, preference shall always go to the club in the same league as the club requesting waivers.
