djm305 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Any word on when we will have his bat back in our lineup? Also, off topic, anyone think that when Hammer gets off the DL maybe he can play Center? This way we can keep Gonzo's bat in the lineup so he can play LF. The lineup could then be something like this.... Hermida Gonzo Ramirez Hammer Jacobs Uggla Cantu Rabelo/Treanor Pitcher What do you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't think he is capable of playing Center? How about Hermida? It would just be nice to not have Amezaga or Ross in the lineup...

The guy can barley play LF let along Center... Hermida could but he also is very shaky on defense.. Gonzo needs some days off when Hammer gets back anyway...

Well I think he is better than he gets credit for on Defense. Also, he has improved quite a bit this year. Anyhow it is just an idea, I am thinking mostly of the offensive gains, I do not think he would be a complete disaster in CF. Whatever.

DelGOT2Rings Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Getting back on topic, what is wrong with Jake? I thought he was day-to-day....that was over a week ago. T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nny Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 being day-to-day doesn't mean he'll necessarily be back quickly. It means they take it day by day. He's still day-to-day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marlins2003 Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Jake has now hit two balls in two days about as deep as you can without them being out. His quad may not be ready but his bat is that close to returning to the lineup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

30plus Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Once we can get both Willingham and Jake back in the lineup, we'll be looking at something like this: 1. Amezega/Ross 2. Hermida 3. Hanley 4. Jacobs 5. Uggla 6. Willingham 7. Cantu 8. Rabelo/Treanor Considering we won 7 in a row, without either of those guys, its encouraging when you look at the lineup with them in it. Willingham/Cantu/Treanor/Rabelo = production out of the bottom of the order. Then you think of the kind of power you're getting from the 3-5 spots....

I heard they made him the first black employee ever at Abercrombie&Finch. They overlooked the whole racism thing because of his favorable last name and dashing good looks.

djm305 Posted May 14, 2008 Author Share Posted May 14, 2008 Well as someone stated earlier in another thread. The amount of NON-ROUTINE plays in CF is so tiny that I do not think Willingham would be all that bad in center. He may not get to as many balls as Amezaga but you are acting like putting him out there would be a total disaster. It may be a dumb idea and it probably would never happen but I have heard much more ridiculous ideas on this forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're talking Willingham in center at the cavernous Dolphin Stadium? The former catcher Josh Willingham? The one with the bad back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Altamonte Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 Jake is back! He made his bat do the the talking. We missed him badly. Not only did he get a triple and a homerun but he allowed for Helms to be available off the bench as a pinch hitter (He happened to hit another homer as a ph) We were lacking a real option off the bench to pinch hit in tight games. Our lineup has improved and our team is much deeper. I know they are many Jake haters but he is a stud with the bat. Most of us actually don't understand what he means to our lineup, hopefully we have a better understanding now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
