Gerut for Jason Dubois pronounced Du-Boyce.

In a nutshell a power hitter who k's a lot. I thought we did this with Russell Branayan already...grr...didnt like jody but we coulda got better...I wanted Burnett dangit..

insider strikes again..
 
yea i saw this...i heard gerut was arguing with wedge after the 2nd rain delay...i think its cause he heard he got traded.our team is a young team and they are very close...victor has a handshake for every guy on the team.they just seem really close and gerut might have been sad...who knows.im hoping we get better than what we just did...this better not be our only trade.im guessing for lefties this guy will take travis' place as a DH hitter.he did hit 31 homers in AAA last year.they called him the most powerful slugger in AAA,lets sit back and see.he cant replace geruts defense tho.i think they were angry that gerut didnt break out...2 years ago he had a great rookie year then sucked last year.he came back from injury this year and has been nothing special.
 
It just seems like one of those here, we need a righty, you need a lefty, you take our problem we'll take yours trade.

Hal Lebovitz reported this weekend that Jody was in Wedge's doghouse
 
yea jody has been held back on PT this year.maybe they did have probs,a lot of guys just thought he didn't play as much because of him coming back from his ACL problem.
 
dubois looks scary he looks like a deformed jiri welsch..
 
lol Deformed jiri welsch.. Thats funny But i hope he`s better than jody by far but jody was a slugger. He just didn`t have enough for the big leages :confused:

his swing was mechanically wrong, he had a bad hitch and it was one similar to that of Barry Bond's, problem he doesn't have Barry's power or bat speed therefore it didn't work. Then he said my swing is fine im not changing it, got hurt played like crap and got dealt..
 
Jody Gerut is a real disappointment. He is SO smart, but so stubborn in not changing that swing. It was a real disappointment. DuBois has hit at every level of the minors, including 31 HRs at AA and 20 HRs in low-A which is almost unheard of. Love the trade, just because it gives us another option.

DuBois won't be splitting time with Hafner at DH. He'll get some time in RF for Blake and 1B for Broussard against lefties, or sub in for injury. Hopefully he gets some playing time early on.
