  1. He's a .250 career hitter with not many at bats. Not really a .300 hitter.
  2. And if he is our best defensive player, that is a low bar, so not something I personally would hang my hat on.
  3. It might be Preilipp on Saturday since Friday is an off day unless they push him back again.
  4. I posted it before he came to bat. Asking if you are going to pinch hit for your #9 hitter in a one run game is not controversial.
  5. I posted it before he got the hit, because strategically it was a better move to me.
  6. I have my opinions and you have yours, so you can stop as well.
  7. If he's our best defensive center fielder than we are not in a good spot.
  8. Only approved topics by the super secret probation police can be mentioned more than once.
  9. And coming into tonight he was hitting .390 with and OPS of 1.109 for the month. And 4 of the strikeouts were against Mis, I am sure he isn't the only who has been beaten by him. Yes he's had a rough game and a half. Is he supposed to hit a home run every time up.
  10. Was Martin reading the TD board and now is showing us tonight.
  11. Everyone drafted before Jenkins is in the major leagues, there is no reason to hold him back. ERod has not played in over 2 months, he is no where near ready to come up here. He should be extra player called up in September. If they want to contend Jenkins would be up here. You are really stretching to make a case for Roden, 11 AB's and his first double of the year.
  12. Well Davis Schneider made the most starts in LF last year for Toronto, some of those guys got a chance because Roden didn't take the job and run with it. His age may not matter but he will soon be in the Wallner and Larnach territory of the last couple of years where you have to show something quickly. There are people coming up behind him and right now he is not producing enough to hold them off if they show they are ready.
  13. I understand your point, I am not necessarily down on Roden, and right now there is no one he is blocking. But I don't believe he should take time from or block Jenkins. I don't know what to say about his defense, the eye test says he doesn't look bad out there, but nothing stands out to me. Sometimes players don't always get the opportunities they should and that I think that is the line he is walking right now. I just hope he doesn't get playing time just because he was traded for.
  14. But Roden will be 27 before next season begins. At some point he has to show more. Right now there may not be better options but that could easily change. And if he doesn't show more soon, I don't think he should be blocking younger guys with more upside. Shelty is actually treating him like a vet right now in my opinion. But Toronto obviously did not see enough in his debut to keep them from trading him. He is quickly moving past prospect status.
  15. He needs to be the September callup if he can shake the rust the next three weeks.
  16. I don't know, I have been told Kreidler is our best CF, which may be a pretty low bar to meet.
  17. What about the other 2 stints in the major league he has had, he didn't have success in those either. He started fairly regularly for Toronto for the first month of last season before being demoted. He is running out of time.
  18. And the two active players at the bottom are in the lineup tonight. And they wonder why they are struggling offensively.
  19. I have to admit I thought they would move Wallner at the deadline even for a bag of balls. It feels like the organization has made their determination on him and I understand why. But why is he even in the organization anymore, it's not like we have a shortage of outfielders. I actually still think there is something there, but if there is, it needs to happen with another organization.
  20. The Brewers basically have two guys they move around the infield, Ortiz and Hamilton. Bauers does play some in the outfield. Not quite as much movement as it appears.
  21. We need to plan for stability first, then plan for contingencies. Meaning find positions for players, that will help you fill out your bench with what you need. The first plan always seems to be positional flexibility, it isn't helping our defense. Get players set and comfortable, then figure how you can back them up with the right mix on the bench.
  22. Lewis does not look comfortable at 2B, you can see the difference when he plays there vs. 1B.
