I agree that Reed should be playing BUT he was clearly over matched at the plate early in the season.

September 28, 200619 yr Isn't Wood retiring? He's not a liability when they put him in, so why not give him the MLB time? Plus, I think the point of it (especially while contending) is having a few extra players to give the regulars a rest down the stretch, even just as late inning substitutions.
September 28, 200619 yr I agree that Reed should be playing BUT he was clearly over matched at the plate early in the season. And he still looks that way, like a deer caught in some lightlights.

No argument from me in reference to Reed starting against lefties as oppossed to AA.
September 28, 200619 yr I don't know, why do teams feel the need to have 3rd catchers and second string LOOGYs. Because with the 40-man roster they can.
September 28, 200619 yr I mentioned this just before he was called up, but I was surprised that after ending his AAA season absolutely on fire, Girardi chose to sit Chris Aguila when the need for a hot hitting rightfielder and/or CFer was there. It was almost two full weeks after Aguila ended his torrid September that Girardi gave him a ninth inning pinch hit at bat. Say what you will about Aguila, and I recognize he has his detractors here, but I always suscribed to the notion that you strike while the iron is hot. Ditto guys who were not called up. An adult Edgar Gonzalez (.392) vs an Andino, or JB Miadich who I wish I understood why never gets even a looksee when batters are hitting a piddly .147 against him in what is supposed to be the ultimate hitter's league. Couldn't do worse that Messenger. But then again I've said that for a couple of years. I honestly don't know how these decisions are made or if this is even legitimate criticism. I know Albuquerque's manager Dean Treanor is up with the Marlins coaching at first, one would believe he was asked who could potentially help the Fish, and the fact that these or other guys didn't make it up probably says volumes but considering how well some guys played down the stretch (in AAA) you'd think a bullpen starved Marlins would have thrown a few innings to a Miadich who had 55 strikeouts in 40+ innings.
September 28, 200619 yr I'm guessing it could be a matter of finding room on the 40-man for guys like Gonzalez and Miadich.
September 28, 200619 yr None of the call ups are getting any playing time anyway lol seems like you missed the point of this thread, Eddie
