June 1, 200422 yr 1) Send Admin Sutton down, he needs playing time. 2) Bring up either Treanor or Willingham. 3) Put Redmond, Treanor/Willingham, and Castro in a platoon in that order of importance. If Castro does not improve within one month, send him down via waivers, and bring up the other catching prospect to replace him.
June 1, 200422 yr 1. sutton isnt a prospect....he doesnt need playing time like a younger guy. 2. agree 3. worthless....castro hasnt done jack with regular playing time...he wont do jack without playing time neither. before this year....a lot were saying how good castro would be with regular playign time...now its reduce it. its time ot jsut reduce him from the roster. AAA, AA, cut...i dont care.
June 1, 200422 yr and have two rookie catchers ? ... no thanks Red can do but he needs some veteran help ... and no thanks to the old farts Gammonds mentioned ( benito and company)
June 1, 200422 yr Author 1) Sutton is needed more in AAA than at the big league club. 2) -- 3) I think Castro has been overexposed. It happens in baseball, but can be corrected.
June 1, 200422 yr why do we need 3 catchers Cape? ya that too.... it would be one thing if at least one of them could easily play something else.
June 1, 200422 yr Why are you guys asking why do we need 3 catchers? Look at the situation right now. One is injured, the other one sucks, so we obviously need a third. Dur.

AAA, AA, cut...i dont care. exactly...how much time do you give this guy?! WE've been patient enough, we've seen him suck ass time after time, his BA with RISP is horrible, and I'm a firm believer that having him in the game has cost us a couple of games already, including yesterday's. IMO, it's over...this is a sport, you play to win...time to move on...SEE YA'! :thumbdown
June 1, 200422 yr Author why do we need 3 catchers Cape? because, Redmond cannot catch every game, castro cannot hit, and we need someone to fill in for them in those game where neither should start.
June 1, 200422 yr why do we need 3 catchers Cape? ya that too.... it would be one thing if at least one of them could easily play something else. well Josh could play 1st but we got that Choi guy there and at 3rd base we got that Lowell guy
June 1, 200422 yr Author Why do we need 3 first basemen? 3 catchers plus the emergency is good for a team like us. Choi and Conine can handle first. Sutton is not needed.
June 1, 200422 yr why do we need 3 catchers Cape? because, Redmond cannot catch every game, castro cannot hit, and we need someone to fill in for them in those game where neither should start. Castro should never start again HE SHOULD BE OFF THIS TEAM jeeZ
June 1, 200422 yr Castro should never start again HE SHOULD BE OFF THIS TEAM jeeZ Castro should be off the team, period! It's not like we need any help in the bench...we have a solid bench with Easley, Nunez, Harris, Mordecai. Castro is taking up a roster spot that could be used for someone productive.
June 1, 200422 yr Author We have 111 games left. If we went with a platoon evenly split between Red, Castro, and another catcher, they each would play 37 games each. That would be better for everyone. We didn't need 3 catchers last year as badly as we do this year.

We didn't need 3 catchers last year as badly as we do this year. name 1 other team that has a 3 way platoon at catcher. Every other team has a decent catcher. We have a guy that can't play for a week without getting tired, and someone who REALLY, REALLY sucks. We need a third catcher or we need to get rid of Castro.

We didn't need 3 catchers last year as badly as we do this year. if Willingham gets called up, HE STARTS THE MAJORITY of the game you just dont do that to the kid same goes for Treanor(although he aint a kid).... Castro doesnt deserve 1 more ab with this club(that being said, he probably starts tonight... sigh)

June 1, 200422 yr Someone needs to pull a Tanya Harding on his ass. Take a crow bar to the knees in a dark alley somewhere.
