Ramp Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 who is the fateful soul going down to Albuquerque? If we put Lee Gardner on waivers, he won't make it through Renyel Pinto is out of options, and would be claimed Matt Lindstrom, but he doesn't deserve it Jason Wood- but would we seriously shorten our bench?... whatever happens, it's gonna suck...

Ns2003 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 The more benefiting option would be Julio, since he's looked like the weak link in our 'Pen. But like it was mentioned before, it's going to be one of the young guns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarlinFan10 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 I'd chose Lindstrom. Though the only person deserving to be demoted is Julio. He lost to the frickin Washington Nationals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fallen Apple Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Please send Julio down he needs alot more practice in AAA maybe he can find some confidence and control down there so basicly what Im asking for is a miracle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FlummoxedLummox Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Put Julio on the DL for his damaged psyche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramp Posted April 12, 2007 Author Share Posted April 12, 2007 I'm not convinced Gardner would be claimed. Have you been paying attention to the NL Central?.... No doubt in my mind after his scoreless spring and good start to this year that he would be claimed. I guess we'll see though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Godfather Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 It would take big brass balls by Beinfest (try saying that 10 times fast) to send Julio down and admitting his mistake, but it is quite obviously the correct move at this time.

No doubt in my mind after his scoreless spring and good start to this year that he would be claimed. I guess we'll see though He's a 32-year old journeyman who hasn't had a history of anything significant in the majors. He was a non-roster invitee, and what happened to the "spring training stats don't mean anything" mantra? Something tells me most teams have a guy like him in AAA.

But it is good to have that kind of depth. Either way, I'm not impressed with Pinto. Lefty or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But lefties are so hard to come by, he would get claimed- if we really wanted to get rid of him, we could trade him and at least get something.

Iowa Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Wood and when Hermida is back, then we make the decision which pitcher goes down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlins2003 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 I do wonder who would be interested in Julio if we waived him. My understanding is we can always pull back that waiver if he's claimed but as far-fethced as it sounds it might be worth a shot to see would pony up$3 million for him. What I am unclear on is what his rights are here and if his permission may needed to be granted. I could see a scenario where he reports to Jupiter (as a concilliatory gesture so his wife doesn't have to pack again for Albquerque) while he tries to repair his mechanical problems. Off the top of my head. I may reread it tomorrow and think it's a terrible idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
