agreed ...and Winokur, with a 42% K rate is in top 20 ..got news for yah ....if you are k-ing over 40% of the time in A ball.. the Bigs are not in your future
send Lewis and Wallner down ...now! how much worse could Culpepper, Fedko, Rodriquez, heck bring Arcia up to play 3rd...just do something!!! ..sickening watching these guys flail away up here. At least it seems they have wizened up and are playing Martin every day ... just get Lewis and Wallner outa here NOW !!!!
isnt it crazy in todays game that a prospect is considered ready for a promotion when hitting under .250 at AAA / what do you think he will do in the bigs ?? better?? i hardly think so
i think Lee has been unfairly treated ..its really only his 3rd year?? i still believe he will become a .275 + hitter.. lord knows we need a lot more of them. so sick of all of our K Kings for past 5 years or so ... send Wallner down NOW !!!
would someone please have the guts to get rid of wallner..play Martin in RF every day..and call up either Gonzales or Rodriquez..or even Fedko ..just get Wallner out the everyday lineup as well as DFA Outman
wallner has flailed away two times already today .. time to get him outa here bring up Gonzales or Rodriquez NOW !!! the guy just cant pick up pitches..major liability in the lineup
bring him up rt now ! even though he is a K machine 40% K ratio.. Wallner is no better and horrible in the field. this team needs a spark ..maybe Erod is it???
not IMO . this is on Ryan. the guy is just too stubborn to think his 93 mph fastball can blow away hitters ..right down the pike !!! lives too much in the middle of the plate
chances are Larnach and Wallner will continue to be their unproductive selves early and we get to see the youngsters up ASAP.....Rodriquez, Gonzales and Jenkins. If its gonna be a losing year ..might as well get the kids time up in the bigs
just dreaming....this is gonna be a bad year anyway.. just can Larnach and Wallner..bring these 3 up and pair w Buxton..(trading time at DH) let em get their feet wet. similar to what we did w Gaeiti, Hrbek, Brunansky and Puckett.. may be bleak in the beginning but maybe more magic..just dreaming.....
he is what we have a lot of ...3,4,5 starters... Ober(a good 3), then- Matthews, Abel, SWR, Festa, Bradley, Morris, Adams. Hopefully this group continues to improve and become solid in their roles.. holding out hope for Prielipp
the problem is Wallners 38% K rate dude..Avg .Larnach better..OBP similar..sorry, i'll take Larnach .. team is already full of K kings..dont need one occupying RF full time
why no mention of trading Wallner? IMO Larnach is better hitter.. unless he has a major turnaround he's not helping at all ..Major liability in OF...not worthy of full time DH role. just blocking Gonzales, Rodriquez. nothing is lost of he's gone
knock it off w all the analytics... the kid is 24 ... very good ball player.. lets see how the next couple years pan out...and then maybe Culpepper is the answer
