August 1, 200422 yr Well we all know that we're going to have to make some changes to make room for Seanez and Valdez, and I think this is what should happen. Send down Treanor-I hate to do it, but we don't really have a choice. Send down Small- Really a no-brainer here I wouldn't stop there though. I would send down either Howard or Manzy- (It will be Howard I just put Manzy in there cuz I'm so freakin' pissed at him.) Then call up Admin Sutton. The man is putting up ridiculous numbers in AAA and in my opinion having a better season than Joe Dillon. There is an actual need for him up here now too. We need another left-handed bat off the bench, and I'd even like to see him get some starts at 1st and take at-bats away from Enc. Your thoughts?

But I dont like the fact of bringing up Sutton he doesnt do much for me. Sure hes a left-hander but I'm not confident that he can hit major league pitching. As much as I like to see Carny's at bats taken away I dont think Sutton is much of an improvement. My idea which I've said before but probably wont happen is bring up Willingham and put him in Left and Cabs in right and Conine at first. But it wont happen since for some reason the organzation thinks Carny is a upgrade in the OF and in the lineup. (sigh)
August 1, 200422 yr Willy aint ready for the field let him get all the ABs he wants in AA, he will be back as a PH in a month anyway

(sigh) 487977[/snapback] I hope you didn't make that assertion from the limited time he was up here earlier in the season. You can't judge anything from 5 at-bats, all in pinch-hit situations.
August 1, 200422 yr Author we cant bring up sutton cuz we need to make room for codero when he returns 487980[/snapback] Cordero won't be here for a couple weeks he hasn't even started his rehab. Bring Sutton up until then.
August 1, 200422 yr Cordero probably wont be back till September. Then it wont matter. An outfielder will be called up. Bank on it.

August 1, 200422 yr Author wat r the numbers for sutton and dillion to compare them 487985[/snapback] Sutton- BA .362 SLG .667 19 HR 50 BB 58 K's in 282 at-bats. Dillon- BA .340 SLG .737 24 HR 30 BB 54 K's in 262 at-bats. Sutton's quite a bit better on defense than Dillon.
August 1, 200422 yr sutton deserves a real shot in the bigs. and he would add a needed left handed power bat to the team
