Maybe in the 2003 lineup. But he should never hit above seven in this one.<BR/><BR/>When Peralta loses it, he really loses it. He looks terrible at the plate. He gets homer happy and then swoons for three weeks. <BR/><BR/>As you say, if we had a decent utility infielder we could bench Perlata when he's hurting the team. Ditto Barfield. Maybe we could even clone this decent utility infielder and have him hit for both of them. No sense in bemoaning who we got rid of, but it is necessary to make a change. Right now Royce Clayton is the best choice among those recently set free by their teams. But who knows who's available in a waiver deal. Rouse can not stay.Ron Vallohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01515792183023966479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6666431387884521496.post-85617836884884946572007-08-06T05:18:00.000-04:002007-08-06T05:18:00.000-04:00I am actually choking on my cap\tain crunch this m...I am actually choking on my cap\tain crunch this morning - those numbers look worse than financial portfolio the past month <BR/><BR/>time for a lineup change - lofton, guitiierez, sizemore, victor, garko, pronk, blake, peralta, barfield <BR/><BR/>maybe if we had a DECENT utility infielder - can you say john mcdonald or ronnie belliard to name 2, we could set peralta down - his swing and head is all messed up or barfield<BR/><BR/>like I said two weeeks ago - here come the twins - and add the white sox tot he mix.<BR/><BR/>twins win central, yankess wild card and the indians and tigers - GO HOME <BR/><BR/>yankes pitchers - carmona, byrd, and wetbrookmoosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14449669807977825581noreply@blogger.com
