JVB bus ticket to Indy
http://community.post-gazette.com/blogs/pbc/default.aspx
Looks like Karstens and Jason Davis are the two additions to the 25 man roster with Munoz DFA’d to create a spot on the 40 man for Davis.
Either JVB’s start Friday gets skipped…Maholm would be back on 4 days rest…or one of Karstens/Davis gets the start in Wrigleyville.

Totally agree with you about Pearce. Russell and Huntington need to let him get his ABs.
He is a very confident and aggressive hitter, and, since not making the roster in spring training, the Pirates are doing everything possible to demoralize him.
The only justification, in my opinion, is if someone is interested in Michaels and we can get anything decent in return.

Relax folks ...
This isn’t Craig Wilson 2.0.
I’m sure having Jake Peavy on the mound has something to do with it.

Against Peavy
Freddy 0-5
Jack 4-16, 1 HR, 3 RBI

Jason-ity 2-9, 1 HR, 1 RBI
Chavez 0-1

Peavy vs. Pearce
I saw this positively when I say that Pearce has a real chip on his shoulder.
He is not going to take a back seat to anybody. When he goes to the plate, he is a confident hitter.
To sit him against Peavy is a mistake unless they are showcasing Michaels (which is very doubtful).
by thegunner on Jul 27, 2008 1:01 PM EDT 0 recs
He just had a day off
2 days ago though.
Does he really need to take a seat every other day?

There is no good reason, none, for Pearce not being installed as the regular, everyday RF for the rest of the season.

I like Michaels too.
I just think you have to find a way to get Pearce some time as well.
Unfortunately… the guys that deserve playing time (or need it) are… Jason-ity, Nate, Nate Sr., Pearce & Eye Chart (& maybe Black Hole now). Too many 1st basemen/OF guys… not enough spots.

Is Michaels going to be a significant part of this team if it ever turns into a winner? No. Might Pearce? Quite possibly.
This Drive for 75 mentality from fans, which really got fired up by the Nady trade, is driving me crazy.

My post has nothing to do with a drive for 75. I actually really like the Nady trade. If you are implying that I want Michaels in there because I think he has a chance to get us to 75, then you are crazy.

No problem.
It’s getting hard to tell lately. The Nady trade seemed to bring out a lot of people obsessed with the losing streak instead of rebuilding an entire organization. I didn’t instantly recognize your name, so thought you might be one of them!
Michaels might be playing better right now, but how this team (or anybody on it) is performing right now doesn’t really matter. Figuring out who is worth keeping around for five more years does.

If you’re driving for a number, at least get it up to 82.

Is Pearce going to be a part of the team that becomes a contender? Will it be McLouth, Cutch, and Tabata? Who knows, but I don’t see why Pearce deserves playing time with the Major League club. He needs to get his swing together, and I’m pretty sure its easier to do that in AAA than with the big club. In my opinion, Nate Sr. is the one that truly “deserves” the playing time. If he is not going to be a part of the future, might as well show him off so we can get some value out of him down the road.

I'm for
keeping Eye Chart & Michaels on the bench, as long as they don’t demand huge paydays.
They might not be starting material, but they’re helpful off the bench… especially compared to what we’ve had recently.

I don't know what everyone expected today
but this looks like your normal…every Sunday…lineup…where some bench guys (in this case Chavez, Nate Sr, and Minky (don’t know whether to consider him a starter or not) get some face time.
We will probably see Pearce for all the games against the Rox.

Freddy’s leading off and Eye Chart is batting 2nd.

Is it the same Jason Davis that pitched for the Red Sox a couple years back?
We were in Red Sox country at the time, and I remember that everyone seemed to hate him.
And then I got to see Carl Crawford steal home on him.
Just random FYI. :)

Chavez ...
is an OUTSTANDING receiver and a GREAT defensive catcher. Peavy got a great jump on his attempted steal and Chavez still nailed him.
This is obviously why he has lasted so long in professional baseball.
The Pirates should find a place for him in the organization after he retires. He would be fabulous with Spansih-speaking players, particularly catchers and pitchers.
I believe he is niow about 35.
The Pirates should keep him on the roster next year as a #2 catcher.
by thegunner on Jul 27, 2008 2:56 PM EDT 0 recs
It's called "the element of surprise!"
Some teams take calculated risks.
Peavy is a good athlete.
There are 2 outs, so if he gets thrown out, Gonzalez still leads off the next inning. In a 1-1 game, it’s worth a try.
