Josh Hamilton Injury


Recommended Posts

Oh dear god...we lose one of the hottest hitters in baseball for Shuck.

There are worse things. Shucks puts alot of heart into the game, and this team can use that kind of attitude.

bummer.  was hoping for matt long.  Granted I like shuck's enthusiasm and hustle, but I'd rather have someone more talented.  

 

Shuck is coming off the best season he will probably ever have and Hamilton his worst (hopefully) and Josh was still better last year.

Not to knock anyone here who likes Shuck, but I don't get why the word "Shuck" causes people to think "heart," "grit," and "hustle." Does anyone who is incapable if hitting a ball over an outfield wall automatically get assigned those virtues?

Personally, Shuck is the last guy I want to see replace Hamilton. Why can't Long be given a shot? Or even Boesch.

This is what I call "The Rudy Effect."  There's no real evidence Shuck tries any harder than 99% of major leaguers, but he's a nice guy who lacks talent and the compulsion to root for the underdog sets in.

I'm troubled by this only because I wonder where Shuck hits in the lineup, and if we actually see a platoon between him and Cowgill.

 

Obviously players get injured. It sucks. Hopefully he's back by the end of May or Beginning of June.

 

Can't dwell. Today's a new game. Does Trout move to 3rd and Pujols to Cleanup?

I think this has to happen. We are so thin offensively now.
