  1. Caratini and Martin need to go. IMO Jackson is the best option at backup catcher after we extend Jeffers. Talking about catchers, I see where Seattle DFA'd Garver. When Lewis bunted and loaded the bases last night, I instantly thought we had a chance to break out against Cameron until I saw Victor strolling to the plate. My hope was that he would strike out to avoid the DP. Nope, he had to hit a ground ball to second. As far as Martin goes, I really can't recall his last hit and do not think his early success should guarantee a spot for the entire season. Everyone may talk about his catch against the fence in the late portion of the game, but had he not got completely twisted around, the catch would not have been that difficult.
  2. Naylor continues to haunt us no matter what uniform he wears.
  3. I think Shelton is a very good manager but question the walk to Rodriguez. We lost the game when Caratini decided to leave the bat on his shoulder in the top of the inning and did not challenge two balls that were called strikes out of the zone.
  4. Jettison Bell and Caratini, move Larnach to DH, bring up Jenkins to play LF. Bring up Culpepper to play SS as Kriedley as quit hitting.
  5. Where would be if we had this bullpen coming out of spring training? BTW, don't overlook the great managing job by Shelton in the game. Moving personnel defensively to maximize offensive platooning was very good. Something Baldelli would never do.
  6. How about a shoutout for Alex Jackson. Saw the kid hit a home run at Lakeland earlier this year and have not seen anything yet that indicates that he is overmatched up here.
  7. Williams was at his best yesterday. He had everything working and when he is on, he is a very good pitcher. Remember, you are only as good as tomorrows starting pitcher.
  8. If he plays anywhere in the outfield, it should probably be left field as he lacks the arm strength to play right field.
  9. Let's wait until he wins three batting titles, then we can make a comparison.
  10. Keaschall is struggling with both hitting and fielding. As I mentioned some time ago, there seem to be more popups to the right side of the field than solid contact. Slide Clemens into second base where both his offensive and defensive are better.
  11. It's time for Royce to come home and bring his "buddy" with him. He can be Culpepper's mentor on how to break into the big leagues.
  12. Extend Jennings to begin the climb up to what will eventually be the "floor level" salary requirement of the new CBA.
  13. It may be time for a Keaschall reset at St. Paul. A lot of popups to the right side and his defense makes Julien look like a gold glover. Perhaps Lewis back to third and Lee to second to see if that works better.
  14. Beginning to worry about Keaschall's bat. A lot of pop ups to the right side is usually an indication of a slow bat or misread of a pitch.
  15. Extend him for four years, long enough for him to help with Tait's development.
