I almost agree! I'd prefer they not platoon him at this point.....they are winning the division. Give him some reps. (the small sample shouldn't change their thoughts, but it will get him practice - I think their thought are wrong).
I have no idea, but that's different than "withering away." They need backups. They need AAA players that might be MLB players. I'll give you Larnach, which is why I didn't mention him, but those other two aren't 25 yet. They've been hurt.
I don't even know what I'd do if they deal JJ.
I think paying him infinity money will keep him in MN, regardless, though.
As for the draft:
A: They haven't been good at it yet, that has to change.
B: QB, OL, OL, OL, DL.....(sign a DB in FA)
Miranda is withering away? Wow. Celestino is 24 and been hurt. I really don't get how you can feel that way about those two who spent all of this year hurt (mostly).
At some point you have to trust and try rookies. Seems to work for other teams. I'd prefer him over Luplow or Stevenson or Gallo...and most other mediocre veterans. We KNOW those guys are mediocre (or worse).
