Most of Lopez's skills are pretty limited and/or redundant on this team.

Why should he have stayed?

Now that's great tasting chicken!

What's not to like about it?

Don’t think they felt like Lopez could handle 2B defensively. He was having all sorts of problems there.

And frankly, if "glove but no bat" was all they were looking for at second, they've already got at least three players capable of performing at or above his level.

Now that's great tasting chicken!

JHJ made him expendable, redundant, and inferior

If he were still the same player he was three years ago I’d keep him in favor of WIlson

How many backup infielders do they need?

Plus, Hairston and Wilson are both hitting better than Lopez (against both righties and lefties). Heck, Counsell is getting on base more often and plays better defense.

Plus, Weeks will be back soon making Lopez even more expendable.

Pujols is the Barack Obama of baseball.

Does that mean Hairston is the 2B?

I assume it will be like it has been the last week or so

Hairston/Morgan at CF and Hairston/Wilson 2B.

Pretty amazing that in ~10 days we've gone from "Why doesn't Hairston play?" to "Hairston plays everywhere."

Now that's great tasting chicken!

And then in another 10 or so days (optimistically)

He’ll go back to not playing

Optimistically

I’m hoping in ten days he’ll continue his current rotation, just with shortstop in place of second base.

Now that's great tasting chicken!

I agree

Good call

Hope he hits well enough to make it an issue. We already know that Yuni has the longest leash ever.

Agreed

But I doubt he’ll spend much time in center once Gomez gets back, and Gomez should get back before Rickie does.

by Cheeseandcorn on Aug 21, 2011 4:29 PM CDT up reply actions

Right

Although rosters expand in about a week and a half… so it’s possible that neither will return before then.

Felipe, we hardly knew ye.
