The move the Twins need to make....RIGHT NOW!
LaBombo commented on SirLoin's blog entry in Rants (not Rantz)
Ben Revere cannot get on base. Ben Revere cannot drive the ball. Ben Revere cannot throw. He can run fast and he has great range. There is a very specific name for a skill set that limits a player to being a defensive sub and pinch runner. It's called '5th outfielder'. Revere may still develop. He's approaching the point in his career that's comparable to where Span was when the light came on for him. That happened for Span in AAA. I hope it happens for Revere, too. He still may become something more than a 5th OF. And if that happens, it will probably be in Rochester. -
Aaron Hicks to AA New Britain: Too Much, Too Soon?
LaBombo commented on Twins Fan From Afar's blog entry in Blog Twins Fan From Afar
After 4 seasons of pro ball, Aaron Hicks was still overmatched in high A. He's not a star in the making. He's still trying to switch hit, as far as I know, despite not being able to hit left-handed. It's probably wrong to promote him, but so what? They're not hampering the development of a future switch-hitting star center fielder. They're making a small mistake with the career progression of a right-handed hitting 4th OF who can handle center field. Not going to be losing any sleep over that one, especially with Benson starting the year in AAA. and with all the genuine disasters inflicted on the franchise during Bill Smith's four year reign of terror.
