Watch out, Braves!
Here we come! BERROA TIME!!!!
You may have Utley, Howard, Rollins, Hamels, and Lidge...but, WE have Fernando Tatis, baby. Two grand slames in one inning. Hello??
"Distinctions at this level"
The alternative was Argenis Reyes.

The season is saved! Huzzah!
Man, we’re so screwed. If there’s an upside to this, at least he’s not Neifi Perez.

Angel Berroa has upside though
Plus he was about league average 1 year 6 six years ago.
It’s not even like we can get a decent defensive team out there. If we’re gonna get three hits a game, at least field a decent defense.
"We must win and we must know how to win rather than win because we have statistical people."
It's kind of hard to still have upside in your 8th ML season.
I mean, I think it would be safe to say he had upside. Kind of similar to how Yuniesky Betancourt has upside.

I was being sarcastic
can’t tell if you are though
"We must win and we must know how to win rather than win because we have statistical people."
We are going to put out a lineup at some point this season...
…that has Jeff Francoeur, Angel Berroa, and Omir Santos playing at the same time. I predict we will not score many runs that day.
just to fuck with us
that’ll be the one day we put up 15 runs or something.
David Eckstein: so gritty they would eat him in the south for breakfast with some butter and sprinkle cheese.
Good Move
Not that Berroa is any good, but if you aren’t stupid like the Yankees and put him at 3B, he’s roughly replacement level, and probably a very small improvement over Argenis Reyes as a good defensive 2B and bad defensive SS. And until the other Reyes is back, we need one of those on the bench.
Is Angel Berroa > Argenis Reyes?
I say so.
Then what complaining can we do? Let’s just hope to god Berroa never sees a day on the field.
I can only laugh though at us trying to improve our offense by adding Jeff Francoeur and Angel Berroa. That’s a big ol’ LOL.
Me > Argenis Reyes
You > Argenis Reyes
Dog > Argenis Reyes
Coma patient = Argenis Reyes
Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but Jerry abuses the privilege.
Wilson Valdez > Berroa > Reyes
That’s the real complaint, especially for a team full of pitch-to-contact hurlers.
Yeah, I agree
I mean, Javier Castillo is probably better anyway

I agree with both of you.
Valdez is a pretty good defensive SS with a noodle for a bat and Castillo is likely to be league average-to-slightly below at SS with a slightly better bat.

Use him correctly
If he is only used to pinch hit, he is a better bat then A. Reyes. Just don’t leave him in as a defensive replacement the following inning.
