  1. Taylor is 30th in fwar among CF.....
  2. Wow. That's some insane cherry picking of one stat. He's been bad overall as a hitter. Of CF with at least 300 at bats, he's 26th offensively overall. And much worse since his hot start. He has all of 1.3 fwar, and that's with his defense. He's not a starter on a great team. He's a great fourth OF.
  3. Why was Lewis at DH and polanco at third? Why is Gallo on the roster?
  4. Polanco at third and Lewis DH? Interesting choice.
  5. apologies, I should not have responded to squirrel....
  6. That's probably the best spot for him....I'm not sure who I'd move up. He wasn't any better as a leadoff guy, and his OBP is lower than two of the guys in front of him (I think).
  7. I don't loathe him.... I'd like him not to be on the roster.
  8. Cardinals calling up a AAA prospect with an OPS under .900....but none of the guys in St. Paul should come up to replace MAT or Gallo......oh, and that prospect is all of 21 years old.
  9. They are so far apart I doubt they can see each other outside the dugout at this point.....Jeffers is a top 5 catcher, and isn't playing more than half the games.
  10. Gallo can't even play against RHP at this point.....I'd rather have neither of those two start a game. One of them is a good backup though.
  11. They're trying to win.....I don't think it will work, but at least they aren't playing awful veterans because veterans.
  12. Julien spent, what, a couple weeks between assignments in AAA, and was called up when Polanco got hurt a second time, not because he forced his way onto the roster.
  13. Oh, agreed....as much as I love his stuff though....
  14. Fear of injury....that's why Gallo is on the roster still. By that logic, Julien should still be in the minors, just in case he gets hurt? At some point, you have to play your best players, like when you are about to make the playoffs and you have Gallo starting every day, and Solano, and MAT (who has been worse than Gallo since May). And Castro. None of those guys are going to help this team win playoff games. I'm not talking about the beginning of the year here.....it is August.
  15. I'm not sure it's over.... But it's not looking good for him.
  16. What a horrible thing to believe.
  17. So why didn't they play then? :) I mean, I'd promote them to give them more time in games....
  18. Because they have Kiriloff. And maybe Severino, who has played there some in AAA. There is zero reason to spend money there. Also, who would you target?
  19. I wasn't even talking about Lee .... Martin, though? Yes. Julien is only up because polanco got hurt. He and Wallner were both sent down after playing well, because they wanted veterans instead of better players. And, many here agree and just would rather play bad veterans than take a chance on younger players.
  20. If y'all were the GM in Arizona, Corbin Carroll would still be in the minors....
