I agree with both of you.
I was very skeptical of the trade we made for Jimenez; simply because Alex White will be a star in this league in a few years - but I understand the thumb injury is a deterant to his potential so the front office see's it as a 50/50 chance with him. But our mentality is win-now, and I'm with that. The fans have been incredible, I've been to 4 games this year since June and it felt similar to the early 2000's days - with the exception of the sell-outs - but that's kind of why I see the FO making now-or-nothing moves, simply because we have an opportunity with the division this year with the fan support right behind them.
Our offense has been horrible in the past month and a half. Injuries have been hurting but like KLJ said; Sizemore was barely an impact and Choo has been oblivion. Yet still, injuries are always an excuse to a bad season. We also haven't had a consistent line-up all season. I'm still very optimistic and I TRUELY believe we'll win this division down the stretch.
With Jimenez and Masterson as our Aces, we have our pitching there - but we need our offense man, our %$!++!$ offense to step up when it's time to.
Let's stay positive. Beat Boston baby.
