Mayberry can play maybe one position,? Bruntlett can play everything but pitcher and probably catcher and play them, besides what many of you may think, well. The fact that time is being wasted on this is ludicrous really. Is it fun? I guess. There are just bigger and better options to attack. It's like attacking Chris Therien back in the day.<br><br>Where was the venom for Sal Fasano? That guys was HORID in every part of the game. Couldn't catch, couldn't call a game and couldn't hit. His average was in the .100's all year long and everyone loved him why? Cause he had a handle bar mustache. Shame on some philly fans. Just pick better battles. <br><br>For the record he batted .333 in the World Series with a home run and two game winning runs. Granted this is been by far his worst season, but in the end he's a utility player guys. They don't grow on trees. He's valuable to an extent. Mayberry can play maybe one position,?

He only threw 183.1 the season before. Why is it impossible that his arm is just tired from throwing significantly more innings from one year to the next? It's been proven that in seasons where a pitcher throws fewer than 200 innings and much more than 200 the next, the third season is often less successful and more injury-plagued.<br>I don't know, that's just my theory. But I'd like to go to bed, so that I can get up a reasonable hour and discuss this more tomorrow.
