Coach's Achievements

  1. Butch Wynegar spent just a little over a year and a half in the minors after he was drafted, and debuted in the Majors at just 20 years old.
  2. Morneau was drafted as a catcher and switched to first base the next year.
  3. Dominos; who plays third, who plays first, who DH's? Same problem we had when Kreidler went to center. The whole synergy is mashed up.
  4. Without Gray, who do we have to back up Kreidler?
  5. Exactly, and look how it turned out.
  6. Like I said on another article, "Pull a Polonco and give Marek Houston the short line (A to Bigs) and bring him up for a very strong cup of coffee." We can't keep waiting for Culpepper to get (be) healthy. Otherwise, Arcia is our best option.
  7. Pull a Polonco and give Marek Houston the short line and bring him up for a very strong cup of coffee. Prepare his mind for the very near future.
  8. Good call, but my point was that anyone with hamstring, hip issues should not be going at full speed, stopping, and returning to first base. It has taken a few of our players out.
  9. A few years ago, they had Buck trying to steal. The batter fouled off three pitches on every steal attempt. Buck came up lame the next day. It happened today. Aren't the coaches communicating with the hitters when a steal might take place? A lot of hitters hate it when baserunners are dancing back forth.
  10. Parent's/Coach's kid in youth baseball, always plays short, or pitcher. Forgive the stereotype, but it's true. Brooks had no choice. He is Daddies boy.
  11. Jax. Duran, Varland were all converted starting pitchers. You hold on to your proven starting pitchers, it's too hard to consistently develop your own, and too expensive to get one from free agency. Sometimes you get lucky (Lopez, Ryan). It's much easier and less expensive to promote a reliever from within. Continue using our relievers as trade bait. We'll be OK.
  12. Two words (Louie Varland). How'd that work out? Take out a proven Jax to pay an unknown (and probably more expensive) Paul, good luck with all that?
