And three people will immediately post, "Valbuena just earned himself two more months of playing time!"

Felt like looking up Valbuenas splits this season just so I can get an idea of what Mike is thinking, if he is thinking at all. Valbuena's actually worse against RHP than against LHP LOL.

Let’s stop blaming Scioscia for Eppler’s f*** up

Finally Simmons out of the 2. He was horrible there and the offense was never able to get anything going past the 5 spot in the order. 6 is a great spot for him

Valbuena is only playing because Pujols can't play 1B everyday.

Oh and the incompetent FO decided to get rid of Cron in favor of Valbuena (who already sucked).

I think that was a good trade. No one wants Valbuena in their lineup except the opposing pitcher.

Before I clicked on this thread I knew I'd see Valbuena's name.

I hope I'm wrong, but I see him playing out the season. To the bitter end.

By disregard he still means to change your font.  It’s like reading Gay AIDS.

so you're saying he shouldn't be moved up in the lineup?

and that's the reason why we shouldn't trade maldonado before this season ends.

there was a lengthy discussion here about this. valbuena can play first and third. cron could only play first. that was probably the main reason why they made the moves they did. also, they could have gotten more for cron than valbuena. didn't we get rengifo in the cron deal? no such talent would have come for luis and his juice.

You gotta love the consistent line though: .182/.182/.182

4 singles, no BB, 11 strikeouts in 22 AB.

He burst on the scene offensively, then realized he was hitting for the Angels.

[fan_since79]

Actually, Briceno's batting average goes on forever.
