April 22, 200719 yr With all the bench doing good, who will be sent down when Hermida comes back? DE AZA : Perfect for a rookie, hade a 8-game hitting streak so i doubt it. BOONE: .545 SLUgging % Wood: ???????? :confused hopefully not Treanor: No way Amezaga: We need him for SS and 2B Ross: 300+ Average Borchard: Second in the team in HR
April 22, 200719 yr With all the bench doing good, who will be sent down when Hermida comes back? ' I know a bunch of folks on this board who might reply "Hermida."
April 22, 200719 yr Not me. Hermida should be out there if he is able. He is alot better than the player he showed last year. Look no further than this weeks SI on how it takes a few rough stretches for talented hitters to show what they've got(Holliday and Atkins).
April 22, 200719 yr It'll be Wood who gets sent down, but I don't think we both Borchord and Ross on the club when Hermida comes back.
April 22, 200719 yr I'm sorry but reading the topic title and then the first response had me XDing. :lol
April 22, 200719 yr It'll be Wood who gets sent down, but I don't think we both Borchord and Ross on the club when Hermida comes back. Most teams carry five outfielders, and they would be our fourth and fifth. Curious as to why you don't think we'd keep both of them. Reed will go back down Ah, I forgot about Reed. We'll see if he's still up when Hermida comes back though.
April 22, 200719 yr I think it depends...if De Aza is not back, we might keep Reed and send Wood down. Either way, it's gonna be one of those two. Isn't it great when you have a tough time deciding who's gonna be sent down? We have one of the best benches in the league.
April 22, 200719 yr Let Wood enjoy his cup of coffee awhile longer guys..I like what the guy offers in the clubhouse
April 22, 200719 yr With the way Borchard and Ross have contributed (regardless of the haters) as backup outfielders when the chips were down Reed has to be the odd man out if and when Hermida makes it back and shows he can play MLB ball. Wood and Boone are working out quite well, I doubt that senior tandem is broken up. AA is on this team as long as Miggy fronts for him, and if you watch him in the dugout he's everywhere talking up the game, keeping people loose. Again Reed is odd man out. Reed is like so many hundreds of other AAA players, in the wrong organization at the wrong time with the wrong skillset for his parent club. I honestly think he's better off playing everyday in Albuquerque, get his average up way up, plays well and eventually goes to Japan or Korea, signs a good contract and plays everyday. he deserves at least that much.

I agree, but I'm assuming De Aza returns before Hermida; Reed would be sent down when De Aza comes back, then Wood when Hermida returns- those are my hunches anyway.
