Jhonny Damon throwing out a baserunner, who did not fall down, is without a doubt one of the signs of the End of Days!

if you would have seen the at bat he just put up with a runner in scoring position, you would realize that homeostasis has been achieved. i wish someone would put that mongoloid headed clown out to pasture.

right now, tampa's offense is a slumpbuster for struggling pitchers. hopefully that holds for 3 more games. i have tix on 7/20 and would like for them to still be in contention.

Said during the game that Santana's last dinger was May 15...that is horrid for a guy that is supposed to be a 3-4-5 guy.

Proof that there's no such thing as a "can't miss". There's time for him to come around, but he looks fucking lost.

A couple of things. First of all his swing looks 100 times better from the right side. I've been saying they should make him a perminant right handed hitter. Also, I've seen him play for 2+ seasons now and his swing is the exact same long contraption that it was on day one. It has more moving parts than a Rolex. Yet the career .237 hitter has yet to change his swing. It's possible that he is not very open to being coached and is stubborn. Part of me believes this but part of me doesn't buy it. Look at how receptive he's been to defensive coaching from Sandy. He's night and day from last year. I don't know what to believe but he needs to make some sort of adjustment or else he will be trade bait next season.

The only reason he is batting 5th is to protect Haffner
I have no idea why Acta continues to play Santana every day. Marson should be getting the majority of playing time until he starts to fade and then maybe there might be some rationale to play Santana but until then he should be doing is toe tapping in the dugout.

I can't see them trying to trade him, nor can I see teams lining up for him with that contract. We might just have to accept that he's going to be a fraction of what we expected and live with it. A .235-15-70 guy behind the plate can be acceptable as long as his defense is solid. Just sucks that he may not be the middle of the order guy he was supposed to be.A Pac;2174571; said:
There's time. He's still young. Maybe he gets it figured out this offseason. But, the more I watch him, the more I think he was just another way overhyped prospect.

Because those numbers will play fine from a C position with average-above average defense, especially if Carlos was moved to an NL team. The ability to play first as well is advantageous.
With regards to the tribe, you're left with marson/kotchman if you demote Santana. Kotchman is even a worse hitter (his glove doesn't make up the difference) and marson looks better in a very small sample size. I'd at least give Santana the chance to snap out of his slump, he's coming off of a pretty major injury.
