He could've moved only the two guys who are more comfortable with it in Kreidler and Clemens.
-
They need to bring in Culpepper for defense and move to Kreidler to 2nd in the bottom of the inning. Don't shift around 3 guys by putting Caratini at 1B.
-
This is where a short bench is hurting the team, there is no one to pinch hit for Kreidler and this is the situation for it.
-
So
-
My whole point is the minute he makes one mistake a lot of posters jump on it, and seem to forget what he has been doing. I have seen more posts about Lewis's poor at bats when most everyone has had them. So I am going to call out the inconsistent comments.
-
And Kreidler came into the season with a .133 batting ave, so if you want him on your team over Gonzalez, go for it. That is the two players being compared.
-
Yes an OPS of almost 850 the last two months, that is pretty inconsistent, you are correct.
-
I get it, you want Lewis off the team, I don't. He has been instrumental in most of our wins over the last 30 days, but go ahead and root against him.
-
Yeah he hit .264 with a .736 OPS in 425 at bats, you are right he didn't do much for us. To me a super utility guy is someone you move around because you want their bat in the lineup, like I think Clemens would be better in this role. Ben Zobrist was kind of the model. Kreidler is an infielder that can fill in when days off are needed. He is not a center fielder and should only be starting once or twice a week.
-
But I keep seeing Lewis being singled out and I don't really get it.
-
Like most of the hitters not named Lee.
-
He was a super utility guy, you seriously want Kreidler in the lineup everyday. The production between the two is not even comparable.
-
Bench players do contribute and that is great but that doesn't necessarily they should be in the lineup every day. And you said his defense was below average and he did not hit anywhere near enough to offset that.
-
It was him or Gray in May they decided were going to be the guys playing the most at shortstop. And Gray was no upgrade over Lee defensively.
-
They don't use them as utility players, they get overexposed and hurt the team more than help. Which is more on the organization.
-
No I want him in a utility role where he has a better chance at success, not playing every day. He is not an everyday player and he showed why in July. He should be a late inning replacement, starting once or twice a week.
-
And he's been hurt too, he looks different and there is talent there as well. I get about wanting to see if he can sustain it the rest of the year. But the team needs this version of Royce to be successful, we all should be cheering and then if he falls off, call it out.
-
It's been two months so not necessarily small and he is healthy and looks much better at the plate. He has been one of our best hitters for the last two months, at some point that needs to be acknowledged.
-
The first one was a throw to Lee at third, sorry your guy only gets credit for one.
-
Prielipp needs to be written in pen for the rotation next year.
-
Or is it because you are waiting for Royce to fail, I am not sure why you would want a Twins player to fail.
-
Like every other hitter in the lineup.
-
Our elite shortstop didn't get to that one.
-
That may be overthinking things a little bit. Mis has nasty stuff, just because Royce swung at strike 3 doesn't mean he is reverting back because of one nasty pitch.
-
This would have been a good game to throw Jackson into the fire. Why is he even on the roster, he has one pinch running appearance in 10 days, that is just roster mismanagement. Zoll needs to wake up and help the team out.
