This is an interesting point. What happens if, for example, we go on a 15 game losing streak between now and then?
"I have not made a decision that it was anything permanent or semi-permanent or what have you. If Bruntlett did get 10 hits, I would probably continue to play him on a day-by-day basis."
Come on Buck, that is SOOOOOOOO reaching by you....he did not say he had benched Everett for SUCKING at the plate, now did he? He has certainly lightened the verbage but playing time tells a different story. DD
"Reaching"? I'm just quoting the damn manager, DD. What he thinks, matters. Lopez's column is worthless, which was my original point. Everett's also been a bit banged up, bad back, and he's going to see a doc. BTW, you still think it's a no-brainer that Koby gets called up?
Astros shortstop Adam Everett, diagnosed with a piece of torn cartilage in a joint in his lower back, had an anti-inflammatory shot in the back Monday, which is the same procedure he had during spring training. "(Doctors) wanted me to rest (Monday) because I had to get a little sedation, but I'm ready to go after (Monday)," said Everett, who hasn't started since last Tuesday. "They said it won't get worse unless I get in some kind of collision. They think that's how I hurt it last year is in a collision in the outfield." http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/bb/3940916.html
