I don't think the Indians expect to send him back down unless he REALLY struggles, as in to the point where they can't get him into the lineup at all.<br /><br />So, why play Delluci at all? It could be that they are praying he could have one hot spurt left in him and possibly get a somewhat larger bag of balls when they trade him away for "prospects".<br /><br />(I may be grasping at straws here...)Profhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06602941464293410960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-37037753750008634402009-05-13T13:21:00.000-04:002009-05-13T13:21:00.000-04:00i still stand by my previous comments and long hel...i still stand by my previous comments and long held beliefs about dellucci. let it be known, it appears as though when given the choice between ice cream and poop, eric wedge prefers to eat poop.<br /><br />there is no excuse for dellucci, i don't care what was said in the players only meeting. he has no redeeming qualities and can't even bake pies.<br /><br />i typically haven't hunted for wedge's head, but if dellucci gets another start, wedge deserves to be fired. this is no quinn/anderson debate. this is purposefully and repeatedly making a poor decision when data (which the polo mafia loves) tells you that it is not a sound decision and decreases the odds you'll win.Cy Slapnickahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10109399114263980881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-16308005214938470252009-05-12T22:38:00.000-04:002009-05-12T22:38:00.000-04:00Is this thing on?Is this thing on?nilssoncamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12277889516704066880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-74779227760444503462009-05-12T21:14:00.000-04:002009-05-12T21:14:00.000-04:00Sowers just does not seem to have Major League stu...Sowers just does not seem to have Major League stuff. We don't have alot of options at this point. I think he will be gone when Westbrook returns.<br />I just wish they would cut Delluci. He is a terrible waste of a roster spot. <br />He does not really hit for power, or average, is slow and can't throw. Other than that he is great.jque1https://www.blogger.com/profile/13935992474435174268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-22645230782133533192009-05-12T20:57:00.000-04:002009-05-12T20:57:00.000-04:00Let's send Mr. "AAAA" Sowers back down and give Hu...Let's send Mr. "AAAA" Sowers back down and give Huff a chance.Alex Trebekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03477543276098427089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11805401.post-18973893946096667782009-05-12T14:49:00.000-04:002009-05-12T14:49:00.000-04:00wouldn't go so far as to say I'm a Wedgie apologis...wouldn't go so far as to say I'm a Wedgie apologist, but I definitely would say that I'm not one who believes that a manager exerts some mystical control over the performance of their players. It's a tricky judgment call that decides if a manager is doing well or not well enough, which I think you've suggested above. I can't imagine Wedgie sticks around if the Indians don't show by the end of the year (i.e. place 1-3 in the central). Whether or not it will be a deserved severing of ties, well, I'll let the unwashed masses sound off on that.Les Savy Ferdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05982164565549803749noreply@blogger.com
