He's a better 4th outfielder than Bubba will ever be.

By the way, I'm officially trademarking the terms "Rally Rondell" and "Rondell Wagon."

He'd get hurt standing up from the bench when Joe tells him to go in the game.

This should have been Damon's fifth year as a Yankee, if only they didn't have their weird obsession with the oft-injured Rondell.

Could you blame them? He's the Rally Rondell(tm).

Typical Bubba on that play. and don't give me that "great play just to get to it" crap. When your a major leaguer and the ball is in your glove you f*cking close it. He took a questionable route to begin with and then couldn't handle the play once he got there. He's an above average outfielder at best. Good is way too generous for this guy. He's a defensive replacement who isn't even that good defensively.

I'm fine with him as the 25th man on a deep team with Sheffield and Matsui healthy, meaning pinch runner, and going in to play D for Bernie in right. I've never been the one to say he should get a chance to play everyday here (that's the poster Jeter). I'd be fine with cool cat Kevin Thompson taking his spot. Hopefully a deal will be made and Guiel will be the last outfielder on the roster, not Bubba.

My problem is he isn't fast enough to be a straight pinch runner or good enough defensively to be a defensive replacement, and he's probably the worst offensive player in the AL if not baseball. He's 30, so its not like he's going to improve, and he's never been good so its not like he has upside. There simply isn't a reason for him to be on a proffesional team. We have faster guys in the system, we have better defensive guys in the system, so why is he here?

Maybe the Long Island Ducks will have some interest.

The only part I disagree with you on is his speed. He's not a speed demon like you or Carl Crawford, but fast enough to pinch run. Most faster guys will get more of a shot to play like your both Gathright. I also think he's fine in RF in late innings. I don't like him in center, although I don't put all the blame on the Sheffield collision on him.

Enough is enough though. This team isn't deep enough to carry him. I think a deal will be made and then he'll be out of here. Guiel seems like he's impressed Torre.

My thing is when I think pinch runners I think of Chris Lathems, Dave Roberts, Kevin Thompsons, Jason Tyners ect... He is fast enough to pinch run, but when he doesn't do much else he should atleast be faster.

On Guiel, I like him too. Good approach at the plate, decent tools, he's what alot of people seem to think Crosby is.

Anybody is a better fourth outfielder than Bubba Crosby, I'm so sick of this guy. If frickin' Joe didn't have a crush on him, for whatever reason, he'd have been gone long ago.
