Sele and Bavasi

With the Red Sox coming to town, everyone has been trying to think of ways to improve this team. While everyone has their own ideas, the one constant is dumping Sele.

On Internet chat rooms, message boards and talk radio, there seems to be complete agreement that Sele is taking up space. Even the local papers have been mentioned Jorge as the logical replacement. At the beginning of the season, many people argued for Sele as a safety net. After each start, his value has dropped to the point it is really hard to find anyone making an argument to keep him.

Which brings me to Bavasi. Surely he is also looking at improving this team. He surely is seeing the same thing we are- Sele is not producing, and would be an easy scapegoat for the poor start. Cutting Selse makes the team appear to be doing SOMETHING.

If Sele remains on the team for any length of time, we know we have a GM who does not listen to public opinion (ok by itself) but who also ignores common baseball sense (not a good thing).

C'mon Bill, do the right thing and try and improve this team in any way possible. Sele is a good starting point.
