May 2, 200620 yr Author If he's going to go on another 15-day DL stint I'd really like to see another OFer acquired if the cost isn't prohibitive. I'd rather not see anymore ABs for Cepicky or Abercrombie. Let Reg start everyday in Albuquerque, while leaving Reed up to pinch-run, start in CF twice a month, and used as a defensive replacement. Aguila can share CF/RF with whoever is acquired. It hurts to think we'd probably be at 500 right now with a healthy Hermida, average player in CF, and 2 average bullpen arms...even with Jake's struggles at 1B. Oh well, this team is going to be fun to watch as the young guns slowly take over more important spots in the rotation and pen.
May 2, 200620 yr Wow, what is that? The dude is only 22 years old and is already looking like Griffey...ok maybe that was just me going over the top, but i am really frustrated with this team's play, and having him pushed back again will help naught. Now it will take him some more games to get in the groove, and by the time he is ready to contribute we might be 100 games under .200
May 2, 200620 yr They are playing it safe. There is absolutely no reason to bring him back if there is any question. I mean, it is the 2nd months of a lost season. There is no pressure.
May 2, 200620 yr For a minute I thought you said his hip had to be removed! god no! Wow, what is that? The dude is only 22 years old and is already looking like Griffey...ok maybe that was just me going over the top, but i am really frustrated with this team's play, and having him pushed back again will help naught. Now it will take him some more games to get in the groove, and by the time he is ready to contribute we might be 100 games under .200 one hundred games under .200? IMPOSSIBLE. Only 162 games a year buddy. Get either your stats OR game rules checked.
May 2, 200620 yr So much for my plan for putting Hermida in the leadoff spot this week. I still hope when he gets back they give it a try (but only when he has fully recovered).
