we couldn’t have gotten one of Teheran, Vizcaino, Minor, Hanson, or Delgado? Hard to believe.
Okay I’ll stop.
DFA Patterson!!!
does Jay have the range to be a CF?
i mean, i know neither Lego, nor Berk can play center but Jay seems a little more like a corner outfielder to me than a CF

I probably won't explain it well, but I'll give it a shot.
CFs need to be fast. Usually that means a skinny guy with wheels. Skinny guys with wheels usually don’t hit for much power. If you can find a guy who is fast enough to patrol CF and still have power, you’re golden. But that usually isn’t how it works out.

try
The basic premise of the spectrum is that positions at the bottom end are more difficult than the positions at the top end of the spectrum. Therefore, the positions at the top are easier to fill, since the physical demands are less as you move left along the spectrum. A corollary to this is the fact that, since defensive skill is at less of a premium at the top end, players at those positions must provide more offense than those at the bottom end. Another corollary is that players can generally move from bottom to top along the spectrum successfully during their careers.
This is related to the “anybody can play second base” joke.

This was a few years ago, when Dan first started doing TV
my brother’s best friend was dating this girl for awhile, until one day he walked in on his girlfriend getting taken to pound town by the voice of the FSMW. (Can you imagine how red faced he was?) Well, she didn’t just disappear in the chubby arms of Dan the Red. She started meeting him out at bars where my brother & his buddy were at, and Dan would try to be buddy-buddy with the dude! Straight tormenting the guy. And apparently, Dan was shameless about using his FSMW stardom to get into many a girls pants.
To this day, my brother’s friend refuses to watch Cardinals tv broadcast because he “just can’t stand that smug f*cker.”

TLR on patterson (from an ESPN article about ejax starting on friday)
Patterson is hitting .252 with six homers and 33 RBI. He was in the starting lineup and batting eighth on Thursday against Houston.
“He’s a veteran outfielder whose skills are in tact,” said St. Louis manager Tony La Russa.

i do remember that
I’m on the record as saying if I was TLR, I would never want him on my team again.
And then this spring training, with us paying money to Theriot and Schumaker, plus bringing in Punto and with DD having a great spring, TLR was giving Greene playing time in CF so he would have a chance at making the team.
Last year, when both were healthy and on the team, Greene started over Miles.

liner to third
actually hits the bag and pops up. Continues rolling toward the point in the wall where it sticks out in shallow left, but has lost a lot of steam. The umpire is running down signalling fair ball, but since Freese gave up on it (bad hammy), some of those fans see it coming toward them and just assume it’s a foul. The usher was yelling not to touch it, and it looked like he even had his hand on one particular guy’s shoulder, and at first he sat down, but then stood back up and grabbed it. The usher came over and started giving him some grief, and I assume they threw that guy out.

my guess is
Tony would have ran him out there if either of Pujols or Holliday reached, which isn’t a bad bet. When neither one of them did anything, Berkman couldn’t tie it himself, so Tony decided not to risk Berkman. Makes sense.

indeed
in addition pulling a reliever when it seems quite reasonable and even advantageous to let the young man throw additional pitches while other times leaving a pitcher on the field, with options in the bullpen, while a 3 run lead becomes a 2 run deficit and the bases get all clogged.
