Eduardo Nunez is not good at baseball.
Please explain why Yankees front office has such a raging hard-on for this guy.

Criticism from the website that thought signing Nick Johnson & re-acquiring Javy Vasquez was a good idea. Funny Stuff
Negrodamus September 23, 2012 22:46
Nobody expected Javy to just lose 4 miles off his fastball overnight the way he did. Even the “Derr he’s not clutch” crowd couldn’t have predicted that shit.

Bro, bringing him back was a fucking mistake. unless he went 20-2 with a WHIP of 0.0 no fan would let him forget 2004. To prove how useless this move was, the first time Girardi had a chance to skip him against Boston he did. When your manager knows you’re a pussy that’s bad.

Wait a minute we are discussing players from the minors here. Nomass knows those guys cold. Ignore Brett Gardner would never hit enough and was a fourth outfielder at best.

Sometimes you see flashes of good to great play from him, but his defense is just atrocious! I would rather have jason nix out there playing the field than nunez.

Hey bro, I had a really good career. Nunez wishes he could sniff my jock.
Probably because... September 23, 2012 23:37
They really like saying “Nunie”.

Because he’s one of the best baserunners in baseball and shortstops are hard to find?
Eduardo Nunez September 24, 2012 00:45
TIME TO SHINE!

I don’t get this joke. I won a Gold Glove once. Doesn’t that mean I’m a terrific fielder?
Genteme September 24, 2012 07:14
He has legs which most of his teammates don’t have except Ichiro. Besides, not every minor league players with speed can hit .267 with .112 isop in Majors, so I guess that was the only reason why he is there. Though I was one of the guys who hate to see him play the field. He may sometimes make some good play cause his strong arm, but he will miss lots of routine ground ball and threw it over the 1st baseman that changed a 1-2-3 inning into disaster.
The Truth September 24, 2012 08:23
Just so I understand how the geniuses at Nomaas work, the Yankees once again leave 9 men on base, Russell Martin lets three more balls bounce away from him, Curtis Granderson continues to strike out at alarming pace, the ump has a floating strike zone, another first base ump fucks up a safe out call and they chose to focus on Nunez’ error. Got it. Shouldn’t you change the motto to: “If we had $200 million dollars we’d still be whiny little pussies?”
The Real Truth September 24, 2012 11:05
Man, you best check that shit at the door.

Nunez is not going to be a star by any stretch. It’s not fair to say the book’s been written on someone who’s had less than a season of plate appearances over three seasons. It may be time to consider Nunez a platoon partner with Chavez to move arod off third to try give him a full season of plate appearances for the first time since 2007. Or just trade the bum while he probably has value.

Simple: I have George Steinbrenner’s FBI file which contains compromising pictures from a 1970 hotel meeting with GS and Pat Nixon.
Melky September 24, 2012 09:46
Do I need to make a website to explain all this?
Nick Social September 24, 2012 10:30
He’s only 25 years old, and he has the potential to be a very good major league player.
Relax.
seewhati'mabouttodohere September 24, 2012 10:36
clearly, it’s the power potential they see when he has that long, black thing in his hands.
…also, his Bat.
It's AJ! September 24, 2012 11:03
Hey, lay off the Nunie, the kid’s got great stuff. All the baseball people know it. Doesn’t mean he’ll ever figure out how to use it, but what the hey. I’ve always had great stuff, myself, and can’t figure out how to be more than a .500 pitcher.
Pittsburgh is great. No pressure, no voices in my head. Can’t wait to sign a big contract somewhere else and suck again. Doesn’t matter if you win or suck here, nobody cares anyway.

OMG!! Robinson Tilapia told me I was going to be a rock star!!
Wait, maybe he said I make him rock hard….either way it’s a WIN for me!!
