I'd rather have AA's luck than Atk/Shap unfortunately
Most of their moves have been disasters. Not just mistakes... disasters. The only one that seems to have worked is Grilli. That's it. Maybe I'm forgetting some thing (probably) but that's it. I'll stand corrected if so.
But ya... AA > Atk/Shap in my book.
so...
you are saying.
that you'd rather have AA's luck - who mind you had disasters of his own (dare I mention Dickey and his personal catcher?) - over Atkins and Shaprio whose disasters are who? Storen - who they made go away, the other person you mentioned - so we're not even going to mention Lirano? Biagini? (maybe that's not them, i don't know). Upton brings speed to the bases which we don't have an abundance of?
you also weren't saying that when this team freshly swept Texas and thought we'd skip through the daises through Cleveland.
from what i've seen, and I know that i'm not baseball maven here - it's not like they are hitting lots either. most of the runs scored in this entire series have come off a home run. we're not clearing yard, and they are, so how exactly is that Atkins and Shaprio's fault?
And again. AA chose to leave. he picked up his ball and decided to go because he couldn't do specifically what he wanted anymore without answering to people. I don't know why you'd lament over someone who didn't even want to at least try and see if it could work out but to each their own.
