Lopez is a strange player, statistically speaking.

The same team that gave Franklin Gutierrez to Seattle. I’ll take that “trade.” (That Zduriencik managed to tilt the value scales the other way so fast is remarkable; that they were tilted so badly in the first place is a measure of the awfulness of Bavasi.)

If you’ve got $9 million/year lying around to help improve the Mariners, you could do a lot better than Lugo. He’s not worthless, but he’s way too expensive for what he brings to the table.

Eh…Lugo’s an upgrade. I know he’s off to a bad start defensively, but I think that’s mostly just small sample stuff. If Boston really wants to give him away for nothing, we’ll take him. Not as a permanent solution or nothing, but an upgrade’s an upgrade and if they want to give him away, who am I to say no?

Weird how they’re both playing for the same team elsewhere. Heh.

Well, you can have Julio Lugo if you want, but I’m guessing you don’t really mean “anyone”.

And in classic Lopez fashion, his OBP during this “hot streak” has been lower than his batting average.

Yuni is a joke for a baseball player and that joke has hurt the team in other ways now. It’s time to let someone else play, how about Jr. at SS….or anyone!

With a .300+ average, 5 HR in 55 June at-bats I think Lopez could be looking at a pretty nice second half. Doubt they do anything to replace him, young 2Bs who OPS .764 (’08) don’t exactly grow on trees although that walk rate is pretty horrific.

That being said Betancourt is horrible.
