Fuld’s a good player who, given some more time, can be a really good one.

there is no way that Fuld shouldn't be given a chance to be in the roster of 25 next year.

he is a left handed Reed Johnson with better defense and speed

Yeah Sam Fuld shouldn't start

He was put in the line-up in the 7th hole. No double switch. We wouldn’t want Fuld to lead off an inning…..

Is a player! Unfortunately he doesn`t have a 30 million dollar contract so he is destined for the bench!

If it was up to Lou Soriano would be in LF

I think Hendry may have had a hand in pulling the plug on Sori.

The same way he traded Perez away in 2006 so Dusty would stop playing him.
