Sick of Trot Nixon
I am absolutely, positively FED UP with Trot Nixon. He is an average outfielder and is good against righties but horrible against lefties. Last night he left 12 men on base. TWELVE MEN!!!!!!!!!! All he had to do was knock in one of those guys and the Red Sox win.
Why do people in The Nation love Trot? They say it's cuz he's got heart/hussle and he brings that "football mentality" to the Sox. Let's look at Trot's football career. Like many people, he played high school football. Was he a barrelling running back? Was he a powerful tight end? Perhaps he was a menacing defensive end? A hard hitting safety? NO! He was a quarterback! The third wussiest position behind punter and kicker.
Remember those trade rumors a few years ago? Sosa for Nixon? If that move was actually on the table, Duquette should be hung in City Hall Plaza by his balls for not accepting it.
A few years ago, Trot made $700,000 a year which was a pretty good deal for a young outfielder with lot's of potential. Now he makes $3.5 million (thank you Mr. Arbitration) to hit right handed pitchers and throw balls into the crowd with two outs.
We need more right-handed hitters. We got exposed last night. I don't think we should trade for one until we fill our starting and releif pitching needs. We should sign Chuck Finley.
We have Ryan Rupe going tonight. I'm gonna bet $10 that Jeff Bagwell hits a homerun tonight, ending his drought.
We're going to lose tonight so in order to make sure people know I'm not second guessing, here is what MY lineup would be tonight against RHP Jonathan Johnson:
1. 3B Bill Mueller
2. 2B Todd Walker
3. SS Nomar Garciaparra
4. LF Manny Ramirez
5. DH David Ortiz
6. 1B Kevin Millar
7. RF Trot Nixon
8. CF Damian Jackson
9. C Jason Varitek
NO GIAMBI! NO DAMON!
