Dgen, as usual, has captured the forum flavor real nice with his first edition of the forum whipping boys. This list changes as the year goes on, as it did last year, with the exception of Joe Borowski. Dgen can't wait for the floor to fall from out from under him, and as we all know with relievers, this will happen sooner rather then later, so Joe B stays on the list. It is fun to watch the list grow as the season goes on.....Last years early list included Paul Byrd and he was off it by the All Star Break.
619201. Forum Whipping Boys by DGeneral, 3/16/08 23:06 ET
Early preseason lead has the usual favorites:
Dave Dellucci - this turd is making $4m and is guaranteed a starting job because of it. Dellucci is slow, he's quickly 0-2 every AB, He's a butcher in left field but performance on the field isn't everything as he's just a great clubhouse guy that will likely make the team forget about CC walking out the door. Hope this guy stinks it up so bad Shapiro has to waive him and bring up Francisco.
Andy Marte - Shapiro's ego makes room for this project. Marte is also guaranteed a spot on this roster because he has no other place to go. Marte has had a dismal spring at the plate and his butchery continues in the field. A fresh prospect that can't hit or field, He'll be on the whipping boy list until Shapiro finally cuts bait mid season. The Marte is tracking major bust.
Joe Borowski- The smoke and mirrors are about to run out for this guy that saves with bubble gum and bailing wire. JoBlow is out of rabbits to remove from his hat. Look for this closers ERA to track his save performance. It's going to get ugly.
