    What do you want Tom P. to do, he has already authorized additional money if needed. Now it is up to Zoll to figure out the right moves, but good luck with that.
  2. HarmonK03
    It may not matter if he gives up 6 runs a game like he has been.
  3. HarmonK03
    Unless there is an injury, that is 3 starts we are potentially starting a less productive pitcher. I wouldn't want to give those games away. But we will see what Kremer can do.
  4. HarmonK03
    I am disappointed that he is replacing Matthews, I really hope he finds his pre 26 form or it might not end well.

    Just keep running the same lineup out there and hope it gets better. That has been the strategy for the last 10 years, hope.
  7. HarmonK03
    Rice would already be back there if they were comfortable with him back there.
  8. HarmonK03
    I think it's from the original injury, I had not heard he did this again or did I miss something.
  9. HarmonK03
    Houston is going the force the issue at some point either this year or early next year if he keeps hitting like he has. I wouldn't be opposed to bringing him directly from Wichita.
  10. HarmonK03
    Playing the position and filling a hole are two different things.
  11. HarmonK03
    I have no dislike for Kreidler personally. I have a dislike for a team playing someone who is not a starting caliber SS every day when they say are contenders. Especially when there is someone ready to play that position that has much more potential upside.
  12. HarmonK03
    You don't read real well, I said it's worth a shot. They have the pedigree and many have said they are ready to be up here. Kreidler is doing nothing at the plate as is Roden, so you want to ride that for the month of August or maybe try to inject some life into the offesne.
  13. HarmonK03
    He had 9 RBI's in July, that is not good. And he usually goes cold in August which is why the last couple of years there has been no market for him at the trade deadline. I

    We know you don't bring any one up from the minors, you keep signing later20's early 30's AAAA types or past their prime players to fill in your roster. Why do we even have a minor league system.
  15. HarmonK03
    Culpepper and Jenkins have to be in KC Tuesday regardless of moves made today or tomorrow. They can easily replace Kreidler and Roden in the lineup. And we can say goodbye to Gray. They need the offense, it's worth the shot to see if they can provide a spark.
  16. HarmonK03
    He had 9 RBi's in July, that is not very consistent. He is a streaky hitter and we are the downswing of that streak again.
  17. HarmonK03
    Need a replacement for Bell, he is not a DH for a contending team, he is a below average hitter. And they have him in the middle of the order.
  18. HarmonK03
    The counter argument is many will not acknowledge when he is hitting better or that overall he has not been mediocre at 1B. He is hitting over .250 with an OPS.810 over the last two months since coming back. And yes his overall average stinks because he sucked the first month and a half. But he made adjustments and is hitting and is contributing to wins. Three wins in the later innings this week and he played a part in all of those comebacks. But we don't hear about that unless he hits the walk off. Kody deserves the credit for his hit on Thursday but it doesn't happen without the Bell and Lewis at bats. As for fielding let him play one position for a full year and see what happens. As someone said in a different post it took Mauer almost two years to be good at 1B. But people want instant results from Royce at least try and be a little objective.
  19. HarmonK03
    Actually at the time of the move it was reported the move was in anticipation for when Culpeper came up. Any organization making moves to make room for Gray or Kreidler should get the leader fired.
  20. HarmonK03
    It was actually Matthews that was moved for Kremer, Anderson is being replaced in the bullpen by Minter. At least Minter is an upgrade over Anderson. You can't say the same for Kremer vs. Matthews.
  21. HarmonK03
    Larnach is hitting 40 points higher than Bell and his OPS is over 100 points. And he can at least play average defense so he does give some flexibility.. And he has been more consistent than Bell. Bell should never be allowed to play 1B, so absolute no flexibility.
  22. HarmonK03
    Again results mean nothing. So he can consistently get into the 6th inning giving up 2 to 4 runs and he is not a starter. Has a career high in strike outs and they send him down. Abel has now shown he can do it yet or has Rojas. I will take the one who is producing.
  23. HarmonK03
    Another bang on Lewis OP. You even disagree with what Shelton said he should have done. Some of these plays are instinct and that comes from playing the position. At some point lets see an article about the benefits and downsides to the team constantly playing musical chairs on defense. Lewis was playing 3B at an acceptable level and it was not his play that moved him, they were preparing for Culpepper at SS so they shuffled the infield. His throwing was improved from last year when he had leg injuries and the question needs to be asked was that affecting him.
  24. HarmonK03
    You are assuming that 8MM would be sent in a wise manner. Remember last year with $14m available they signed Bell to play 1B and Caratini when they already had a backup catcher. So maybe it would be worth it to sign Larnach. But they do have something with the excess of outfielders on the 40 man roster, there is just not enough AB's to go around between St. Paul and Minneapolis. At least two probably three need to be removed and you still have depth for injuries. This needs to be done before next season at some point.
  25. HarmonK03
    Jenkins could be up here today even with Larnach on the roster. An outfield of Larnach, Jenkins and Keaschall is the best outfield we could play currently. If anyone should go to clear playing time it is Bell. But is there any market for him.
