Seems as though that closed door meeting may have helped. I'm starting to feel a little optimistic. We do have 8 left against Baltimore. It could be done.
ReplyDelete1954 New York Giants (I think) did it, why can't we? Is that what you are saying, Jeff?
DeleteI like your Optimism, don't give up the ship (as Patrick would say)!
Don't get too optimistic, that's usually when the team breaks your heart
DeleteOn another note; Roller plays 1st base only right? Why would we bring him up, just to sit on the bench? September call-up is soon enough!
ReplyDeleteAt that time, we will see Serverino, Mitchell, Lindgren (two Utility type players), Refsnyder, Pirela, (two leftys) Banuelos and Tyler Webb. Maybe even get a good look at Abiatal Avelino (SS) or Cito Culver...Avelino is very young (18?) but can play SS with the best of them. Refsnyder is playing 2nd base about as I expected him too...very well! Both he and Pirela are also able to fill in during injuries at almost all positions.
I hope if and when they come up Joe G plays them, unlike Joe T. We need to see what these guys are made of.
We have too much of a 40 man roster log jam to bring up Ref, Pirela, Roller, Avelino, Culver, Webb, Lindgren, and the rest of the guys you mentioned. For every one of them brought up another player has to go off the 40 man.
DeleteMan-Bam is on the 40 man. Take off the 40 man roster: Ichiro, Drew, Brendan Ryan, Wheeler and one of Hill or Huff! Thus, we put Ref, Pirela, Culver, Webb and Lindgren on the 40 man. Also, put Capuano on the 60 day DL. There are one or so that could go on the 60 DL.
DeleteI knew Manny B was that's why I didn't mention him lol.
DeleteDrew for Refsnyder = yes
Hill for Lindgren = yes
I don't mind having Wheeler on the team, pretty versatile. Would like to see more from the bat but what can you do. I am reluctant to let go of Ryan only because he has two years left including an option that I fully expect him to exercise.
