    Could McCusker play 1B? That's a big freaking target.
  2. HerbieFan
    Geez, who woulda thunk it?
  3. HerbieFan
    His quad/hamstring injuries the last two years have been when running the bases, which we'd all like to see him do MORE of. Not sure DHing only is the answer. At what point do they start transitioning him to first base. Or, like his "move" to 2B or Mirandas move to 1B in the past, maybe they just stick him over there without any preparation and expect him to miraculously suddenly be good at it.

    The fact that any of Julien, Bride, Clemens will still be on the team speaks volumes
  5. HerbieFan
    i don't know who the coaches at Rice are/were, but they killed a lot of mlb dreams.
  6. HerbieFan
    Maybe Thad Levine had the right idea......
  7. HerbieFan
    As the losses and injuries mount....how long til we hear the "Trade Pablo" speculation? Org has done a good job developing pitching. Now, about the lack of hitting....:)
  8. HerbieFan
    Seems like a complicated way of seeing his stuff is still really good but his location isn't.
  9. HerbieFan
    Its only 4 games, but MAN does it look like the same complete lack of an approach as a team/organization. And hopefully we see Festa for Paddack...and soon.
  10. HerbieFan
    SHOULD it be?? Probably. WILL it be?? Um...no.
  11. HerbieFan
    A right-handed version of Kepler as your 4th OF? I think I would actually take that. :)
  12. HerbieFan
    Was thinking more of Julien trying to play 2B. Miranda will be...ok(ish)
  13. HerbieFan
    Well, looking at it "glass is half full"....if injuries cause Rocco to have to use Miranda at 3B, Julien at 2B/DH, and Martin in some capacity, AT LEAST he has guys with a bunch of at bats/innings. That said, I canNOT imagine there is a worse defensive combo at 3B and 2B in MLB than Miranda/Julien.
  14. HerbieFan
    Maybe Brooks Lee becomes the 1B sometime down the road
  15. HerbieFan
    No spin. I bet that sucker moves like a knuckle ball! :)
  16. HerbieFan
    A switch hitter who can "play" 3-4 positions, including being an emergency guy?? Sounds like a guy Rocco can start everyday! :)
  17. HerbieFan
    Am I crazy to think that even if Lee goes to 3B (likely) I still am not all that interested in having Julien at 2B? Keaschall was reassigned so guess that's our fate. Julien is just the definition of a "butcher" in the field.
  18. HerbieFan
    Is there anyone who DOESN'T seem to need a good start??
  19. HerbieFan
    Better question might be whether they will invest in 1B AT ALL.
  20. HerbieFan
    I'd guess we'll see Miranda at DH more than 1B. They just need to make sure he gets enough ABs to answer the question about his hitting.
  21. HerbieFan
    I just don't see any value in Julien that has any thing to do with putting on a glove. And he seems to have forgotten how to hit.
  22. HerbieFan
    I'm on record.....I want Brooks Lee to be the everyday 2B. Period.
  23. HerbieFan
    I really think that every time he takes off, Rocco worries about injury. He may get 15-20 when the opportunity is too good to pass up but there's no way they risk injury on the bases.
  24. HerbieFan
    Size and athleticism to play 1B or LF. If he gets back to hitting, I have no doubt there is a position he could excel at defensively.
  25. HerbieFan
    Here's what I'd like to see. Let Paddock make 12-14 starts and pitch 60-70 innings before he inevitably gets hurt. Manage Festa's innings at AAA. When Paddock goes down, Festa replaces him for good. Paddock goes on IL for who knows how long and when he comes back put him in the bullpen to replace Stewart, who will likely be out by then. It seems like the only path to getting something for your $7.5 million.
