Unofficial Contest! Torii's Return To CF

[whydidnt]

May 3rd, vs. the White Sox. Likely a home game, and during the day. It would be sooner, but the options to replace him in right are pretty thin. Don't see them going with him in CF and Robinson in RF at any time in the immediate future.  

 

EDIT: Looks like 5/3 was previously selected - I'll go with May 2nd for the all the same reasons!

Hmm... I'll say June 4. Day game at Fenway. Should be late enough that Danny Santana's cratered back to earth and been sent down to AAA, so is unavailable to start in center, but early enough that Byron Buxton won't be up yet (he'll look rusty in April, then go on a tear in May and June that will have him up before the All-Star Break). Shane Robinson will be DFAed by then, leaving them thin in centerfield. (Also worth noting: Parmelee's centerfield start last year came around this time on June 24, on the road in Texas.)

They are thin in centerfield with Shane Robinson on the 40-man.

Did Torii play at all in CF over the coarse of ST? Even just an inning?

Maybe by bumping up this very old thread, (it was mentioned in another thread, so I had to go and find it) it will jinx those who predicted never in 2015, and they'll put him out in center during the last inning for his last hurrah.

This is exactly what should happen, and PM should wait until the rest of the team is on the field and then make the substitution just before the first pitch of the inning.

Those of us who said "never" still win, as the contest specified "start" a game in CF!

 

BTW...what do we win?

I already said I would relinquish my share, so you can have it all, Chief, as I think you wee the first to say 'never.'

I was only off by... April 28. So close to collecting the sweet, sweet prize.

I think the prize should be the same thing that Reusse and Soucheray used to give as prizes on their sports talk shows: our warmest personal regards.

And bragging rights.

And bragging rights.

And what the OP promised in post #1.

[D. Hocking]

Damn - first the season ends and now I have to deal with the fact I lost this contest.  The hits just keep coming.
