August 11, 200620 yr Matos was released after last nites game...He has speed and hits for power He also can play Cf. The best is that he would cost us nothing! He is a must as a late addition to this team. Matos is a true player...Send Kool Aid down to triple A to play everyday (although he is playing much better) call him back next month
August 11, 200620 yr Why would the Orioles and Nats both get rid of him???? You've answered your own question, rhetorically at least.
August 11, 200620 yr Why would the Orioles and Nats both get rid of him???? Because he isn't very good. He's no better than Chris Aguila.
August 11, 200620 yr "he's a true player" anyone else find that part funny? I did. I'd like us to give him a shot. Reggie can be sent down and Matos can take his spot. Even if Matos is only going to be as good as Aguila, I'd still give him a shot.
August 11, 200620 yr individual coaching or not, reggie needs to be sent down to receive regular looks at upper-level pitching.
August 11, 200620 yr Why? We already have a bunch of other wanna-be CFer's in Ross, Fredo, and Reggie. We don't need another.

Much better than what or whom? Send him down, it hurts to see his name in the lineup.

Reggie's play over the past few weeks, however sporadically it has been, is improved and last night he put the ball in play all 5 times.... baby steps

Borchard did pretty well also. I'd like to see that lineup from last night get a few more chances.

Reggie's play over the past few weeks, however sporadically it has been, is improved and last night he put the ball in play all 5 times.... baby steps I don't agree. I haven't seen this improved play. His OPS hit a season high of .716 on May 18th and from there took a turn for the worst until it reached .606 on July 1st. From then until now it has stayed in the .606 to .643 range. Right now it's at .622. Last night he went 2 for 5 but also fumbled a ball, missed a cut-off man and made a poor decision on the basepaths. He has been consistently bad all season. He would be best served playing everyday in the minors.

I think management believes he will do much better with the MLB coaching as opposed to playing everyday in the minor leagues....not so certain about that...you get better seeing pitches, getting AB's, taking grounders and fly balls on a consistent game basis.......but I am not management....
August 11, 200620 yr Getting Matos would be absolutly pointless. He's better than Abercrombie, but I'm sure even Admin is better than Abercrombie.

August 11, 200620 yr End this thread, Matos is horrible. Id be more comfortable with helms in Center.
