I agree. IF they knew that Burriss was going to start earlier in the off season, then they should have not signed him. But with the uncertainty of who was going to play 2B they almost had to sign a true SS with experience just in case.

Highlight to look for
The Pittsburgh Pirates pulled off their first triple play in 16 years in the eighth inning of their game against the Cincinnati Reds on Sunday.

if he takes a better route it’s an out. instead he misses it, falls down, and it’s a triple. yeah, we’re being too soft.
Joe Martinez: My fingers are crossed and my palms are together for you.

Velez has the speed to catch that. He initially undercut the route, so that he had to run straight backwards at the end. A more direct route and it’s caught. I mean, he misjudged it and still got his glove on it.

My prob is that he was all up in Fred’s business when Lewis was trying to pick the ball up and throw it back in.

His baseball smarts are near zero. Whatever athletic ability he has is immaterial if he can’t grasp the finer points of the game.
It's my blarg! Quick Pitch
Randy Winn
Only outfielder who can play worth a damn today.

im thinking the reason uribe AND velez are playing is because bochy figured lincecum didn’t need help
Hmmm… I dont agree with that. I am thinking it is a Sunday day-game and Bochy wanted to sit some f the regulars to give them a rest.

In a way, the start of this season has been more depressing than the start of last year. Last year, my expectations were so low I couldn’t be let down.

The position players are about as I expected (which is not much), but the starting pitching is horrendous so far.
