Guest Anglesault Report post Posted July 1, 2004 As bad as Ortiz's fielding is, I think the fact that he is a a mothafucking RBI machine makes up for it. Here's how I'd have the Red Sox line up, 1B-Mark Bellhorn (He's been learning 1B, might as well give him the nod. What's the other option? Dave McCarty?) Bellhorn is a bad third baseman, and his over all uselessness at the position has cost the Sox alot in this series (without actually getting an error). 1B might help him.

Guest FrigidSoul Report post Posted July 2, 2004 Al, I've said the same thing on the Youkilis matter. I think the Red Sox need to worry about adding one stud starter and a quality bullpen arm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted July 2, 2004 NEW YORK -- Just two days after Jason Giambi found out that he had an intestinal parasite, Kevin Brown was diagnosed with the same malady, further delaying the right-hander's return from the disabled list. Brown, who has been out since June 10 with a strained lower back, said that he has felt sluggish and tired for several weeks, dating back to late April or early May. Recent blood tests didn't reveal any problem, but after Giambi was diagnosed with the parasite, Brown was tested for the same condition. "The bad news is that I have a problem, the good news is at least now I know what's going on, why I have been losing weight and why I have been feeling the way I have been feeling," said Brown, who is down about 15 pounds. "I'm going to take a couple of days and take it easy and let the medication go to work and maybe I'll start feeling a little stronger." "In a way, for Kevin Brown, you're sort of happy there's something wrong," said manager Joe Torre. "He's been feeling bad, and blood tests haven't found anything. It's strange, for sure, that we have two guys with this." Dr. Stuart Hershon, the Yankees' team physician, said that the condition is "very rare in developed countries," adding that the disorder comes from ingesting food or water contaminated with the parasite. "In underdeveloped countries it's more common and in some cases can be endemic, but in developed countries it's very, very rare," Hershon said. "That's why it's quite unusual to have a situation like this." Brown suggested that he and Giambi may have caught the parasite during the Yankees' March trip to Japan, but Dr. Hershon indicated that it is no more likely to have come in Tokyo than in the United States. Hershon spoke with the Yankees before Thursday's game, as he tried to quiet any concerns the players may have had about the condition. "I wanted to talk to the team to put to rest any issues that might be out there in terms of unnecessary anxiety about how one gets it," Hershon said. "I just wanted to get the obvious concerns out of the way, and also to make sure anybody who had any questions could raise them." No other players are expected to be tested, as Hershon said that anyone suffering from the parasite would surely be suffering symptoms, including diarrhea, cramps and fatigue. Brown, who has thrown three bullpen sessions in the past week, though he has not felt strong in any one of them. Torre and pitching coach Mel Stottlemyre didn't know the cause of Brown's problems, but it all came together with Thursday's diagnosis. "He's been forcing things, working out and everything, so we don't want him throwing off the mound and hurting himself while trying to manufacture some velocity," Torre said. "When he feels well enough to go on the mound, we're probably going to see a little more life to him. Once it happens, it will probably come quickly, but it's liable to be a week before he feels well enough to have a good bullpen." According to Hershon, the medication takes about 7-to-10 days to eradicate the problem, though he added that the players could play before then if they felt strong enough. Unlike Giambi, who caught a stomach virus from Gary Sheffield before he was diagnosed with the parasite, Brown did not experience any nausea or stomach problems. Instead, he simply felt tired all the time, so something simply wasn't right. "Even when I worked out, I was continually getting weaker," Brown said. "I had the fatigue, weight loss, muscle fatigue. I didn't have the throwing up like he had, but I had loss of appetite. For a couple of weeks that was all I could do to make myself eat. For a while, I have been eating like a horse and still losing weight. "At least I understand why I have struggled so badly as far as the way I have felt," Brown said. "I will try to do everything I can think of to get better, as far as work out and everything else. I haven't had any real progress." Brown said that his back felt much better, though he wouldn't try to speculate when he could return to the mound. "I know it feels better. Obviously, the question is ultimately when I walk on the mound, am I throwing the ball the way I should be throwing the ball?" Brown said. "I wouldn't say that. I would say that my back was feeling better when I was throwing on the side, but I have not felt myself." http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/mlb/news/mlb...s_mlb&fext=.jsp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
