kind of funny that they use dusty baker....especially with all the questionable decisions he has made lately. i really believe he does not know how to manage a bullpen.

Well, since I'm a Giants fan, I did everything to let the Giants win, which they did, 7-2.

Rock!

i thought the SF Giants should have won the 2002 world series, in spite of Dusty mis-managing his bullpen and allowing children in the dugout

I won 12-5.

I loved when dusty brought in remlinger yesterday to face Walker who was 8-18 against him. And he promptly hit a homer.

What are you saying? He should start instead of coming off the bench?

Funny, people were bitching when Walker went down that Baker was starting Perez instead of Hairston. All the guy did was go out and get 4 hits.

In his limited capacity as a fill-in (what the Cubs signed him for), he's batting .317, has 6 RBI, 1 HR (or, 1 less than Sammy Sosa), .415 slugging percentage and a .333 OBP. Yeah, shitty guy to have coming off the bench. He's pretty good at defense being able to play 3B, short and 2B -- as a Gold Glove winner.

he is quite possibly the worst hitter in major league baseball that doesn't pitch for a living. He's bad, terrible, unworthy of being a major league hitter.

but, maybe you guys want a guy with a career sub .700 ops in your lineup. This coming from a guy who spent years in Colorado and still could barely manage to slug .400.

He's doing just fine for the Cubs -- better than any one in the minors. I'm willing to bet that Jim Hendry and others in the Cubs' organization know just a little bit more about Perez and his contributions to the team (and about what talent is out there and what is not) than you. As evaluators of talent, I'll side with them any day.

i'm willing to bet they have a different everyday shortstop than neifi perez very soon or they can kiss the playoffs goodbye. If they don't, the all knowing jim hendry should be fired.

You're right . . . they should. You know why? Because they signed Perez as a backup for Nomar and Walker. He's not a starter. But that just reinforces his value to the team. He's a backup. Has been called upon to start with the injuries to Nomar and Walker and has done more than anyone can ask for during that time.

yes, a backup, defensive replacement, who shouldn't be used as a pinch hitter because he can't hit for shit.
