Dunn has been all kinds of awful, but the real problem now is Pierre. He does nothing positive for the team anymore. He is the guy that needs to be sent packing. Dunn could strike out 210 times, but he also may end up with 30 HRs when its all said and done. The upside for Dunn is light years ahead of the absolute best you could get out of Pierre at this point in his career.

Ozzie has benched Dunn, moved him down, all sorts of things and nothing seems to work. Yesterday he was swinging and missing just regular fastballs. That's not on Ozzie, that's on Dunn.

You can't do anything about Dunn. You have to play him and hope he does better. You aren't going to leave $15 million on the bench. That's an economic reality. Pierre is a different story. You could cut him loose and eat his salary. Maybe some team would even take him from you if you wanted to ease his embarrassment.

You really think that Dunn is going to hit 25 or so HR's in the next 66 games?

I don't expect this team to win the WS every year, but I do expect them to be in the playoffs every year.

The thing for me is whether he plays great or he plays poorly you are still paying his horrendous salary. If he is hurting the team I don't see why he should see the field until he rights himself.

Ozzie and Kenny have let their arrogance destroy this team in not playing the right players and getting the wrong players just to show his machismo.

He can play Lillibridge or call up Viciedo. There are 2 options right there.

8 HRs in a month isn't all that much for Adam Dunn, but of course this kind of slump is a different animal alltogether.

Kenny claimed it was Ozzie's. He pretty much said last week that if Ozzie wants Viceido, Kenny will get him up here.

No, it's not. Kenny never has nad never will tell Ozzie who to play. If kenny puts him on the team and Ozzie sits him on the bench it does Viciedo no good. Ozzie has to want to play him and he said he would rather play Pierre everyday.

So Oz, what you're saying is that even though this lump of worthless shit is costing your pedestrian offense run upon run you just can't bench him because of his salary? So instead of putting someone more qualified in to play, you're going to run this fuckstick out there hoping he'll learn how to swing a bat? Maybe you assholes should have made this tub o' goo train in the off-season and not wait until Spring Training to begin his regiment.

KW has been allowed to spend like a drunken sailor and has not seen any return on investment from these players he just had to have.

Let's face it, it's July and the Sox still remain under .500 and aren't making any ground on the Tigers. The reason they are 4.5 games back is due to the Indians fading and the Tigers not making things easy on themselves. IMO, this is most likely how the season will end:

1. Tigers
2. Minnesota
3. Indians/Sox

Maybe this year will show Uncle Jerry he needs to go in a different direction. I doubt it though because this Sox team is a hobby for him and it shows.

No, it's not. Kenny never has nad never will tell Ozzie who to play. If kenny puts him on the team and Ozzie sits him on the bench it does Viciedo no good. Ozzie has to want to play him and he said he would rather play Pierre everyday.

If you bench Pierre who bats leadoff in this mess?
