[...] injured, there’s nothing behind him to step in. And you remember what shortstop looked like when Rafael Furcal got hurt in 2008, right? Share this:EmailMorePrintLike this:LikeBe the first to like this [...]

God I forgot Nomar was even on the team as recent as 08

[...] July 14, 2008: Angel Berroa (.192/.253/.219 0hr 0rbi) (F) I have to say, of all the stats I looked up for this article, Berroa surprised me more than anybody. He really has zero RBI? Not even one? Despite starting 21 games? That would be incredible, if it weren’t so depressing. Look at it this way, Berroa’s had 72 at-bats without an RBI. That’s the most in MLB by a large margin, nearly double the 40 at-bats by Washington’s Roger Bernadina. Yikes! Actually, now that I think about it, maybe Berroa doesn’t deserve an F here. Maybe he should be getting a C. I mean, it’s not like we didn’t all know he was going to suck from day one. And to the surprise of no one except perhaps Ned Colletti, he has. He’s been exactly as bad as we thought, not that it was possible to be any worse, so in that sense he’s been the average Angel Berroa. [...]

You know, for all the crap that everyone gives (including me) Angel Berroa about his sh*tty fielding, there’s two plays that he did that I’ll always remember. One, the night of Hiroki Kuroda’s one hitter in the ninth inning when Berroa made a tremendous stop going to hit right, spun, and made a perfect (and strong) throw to nail the runner and first and keep the one hitter intact. The other was when Berroa lost the ball in his jersey. It’s funny now because that run didn’t end up scoring, and didn’t negatively affect our season in any way. But even after the happy memories, I can gladly say, goodbye forever, Berroa!

Thanks, Shmol! I sincerely hope that 2009 at SS is better than 2008. Dumping Berroa is a good start.

Not a pretty picture at short this past season for sure, MSTI. Although I can’t help but have sympathy for only one: Nomar. Don’t ask me why, I don’t know. You’d think I’d have more sympathy for Furcal, but after his injury-prone ’07 season, I wasn’t holding out hope. I LIKE Nomar. I mean, who doesn’t like Nomar? If only he were healthy. If only….
Furcal, even WITH the injury bug, is a must-sign for 2009.
Keep up the good work guys! Yours is my favorite Dodger blog.
