Similiarly Valentin catches everytime Elizardo is on the mound -- does this mean the rookie pitcher is fussy about his battery mate also? I think it is just Narron's way of keeping them all in the cycle in a predictable manner. Valentin is useful as a pinch hitter and can also provide depth at 1B so carrying 3 catchers is perfectly understandable -- and Ross apparently calls a good game and does have 3 home runs. This just seems like a biased sour grapes attack based on the fact that Arroyo didn't do his interview with you. I certainly sympathize that you received shoddy treatment, but as a fan I also realize that these players have tremendous demands on their time and you also have to consider that he is in the process of moving his family and adjusting to a new life.

I can't believe you are choosing this guy as your goat... he is the savior of this team. And it is totally understandable that he would be distraught by a trade that came out of nowhere...leaving a city at the top of its peak competitive level for a city that hasn't made a blip on the baseball map in 26 years. He signed a 3 year bargain contract with the RedSox because he enjoyed playing for them, not because that was his true market value which is looking a lot higher than that. from what I can tell he is taking to Cincinnati very well and doing his best to fit in... he just got featured in the Kentucky Enquirer... he did a sports broadcast for channel 4, etc. He was hitting 91-93mph on the clock yesterday and his offspeed was down at like 77mph… he was baffling hitters… he struck out the side in the second and third innings.
