Calling it. He will play for us in the second half.

 

 

 

:tongue: I want free VIP for a year, Admin, when this happens. :laugh:

Gonzalez said he expects Uggla to be with the team when it begins the second half at home against the Phillies on Friday. He also isn't worried about the effect of the suspension on his team.

"I don't think so. I got a pretty good pulse of our clubhouse," he said. "If anybody wants to talk to me, my door is always open. And they know that."

Marlins have thrown the idea around about acquiring him apparently, though I still would be surprised if it happens. I don't doubt the Braves will DFA him soon though regardless of what Fredi says.

I couldn't imagine Uggla being in Miami helping him or the team in any way, shape, or form. We're talking about the worst defensive second baseman in the game, staying in the same division, hitting in the biggest ballpark in the league. No way.

 

Uggla needs a Colorado resurection.

We aren't striking out enough so Uggla would solve that.

 

We definitely need a guy in the lineup to just be looking fastball.

 

Oh, and 2nd base really needs to be weaker than Derek Dietrech.

God his career went south fast didn't it?

In Atlanta there's only two places more southern to be.

Holy shit... he actually batted .179 last season. That's crazy. And he's still starting.

Oh, you guys.

Holy shit... he actually batted .179 last season. That's crazy. And he's still starting.

 

Hit .179 and slugged 22 home runs.....

 

Maybe he needs a change of scenery. If he hits 240,250 with his home run rates it would be worth it.

 

But he has to come cheap- so he can leave quick if it doesn't work.

 

Send them Furcal.

Weren't you saying before the season that Uggla was a decent defensive second baseman? It was the same conversation where I told you that Dietrich sucked defensively and you responded by saying that UZR underrated Uggla's defense or something to that effect.

I said it underrated Dietrich, not Uggla. I did say I didn't think Uggla was terrible, and then you did a convincing job proving me wrong. Look at that!

Ok, I found the post. You said that it was a "myth" that Uggla was a "terrible second baseman." I'm glad to see that you have come around and changed your position to now say that Uggla is the worst defensive second baseman in the game.

We defnitly need some power in the infield so I would love to see Uggz come back. He is one of my alltime favorite marlins. I could see it where it can work if you platoon him at 3rd base when a lefty starter takes the mound and move Mcgee to 1st base so Jones can ride the bench. That way you can get Uggla AND Mcgee in the line up when theres a south paw on the mound. That could end up as a very potent mix and Uggla can always pinch hit. Right now I would not start him at 2nd over Donovan Solano because he is doing a pretty good job there. Can Uggla play any other position other then 3rd base and 2nd base? He could be useful as a 4th outfielder or if he can learn to play 1st base he can go there against lefty pitchers and just leave Mcgee on 3rd base right? :mischief2

He's not starting anymore.

I didn't feel like he was THAT bad when he was here, but I guess I was wrong. Not hard to believe he's been that bad, though.

Uggla was not that bad when he was here. You are right about that. He has gotten much worst because the game is in his head now. He definitely needs to get out of ATL and get his head straight. The all star game messed his mind up and took away his confidence he really needs to get on a new team. I would love to have him and his power back. Not full time but he can be a good platoon guy.

Penguin, will you handle this so I can get back to work?

[godzilla.jpg] just make believe

Well, yeah, but I meant at the beginning of the season.

Hit .179 and slugged 22 home runs.....

No, it wouldn't be worth it. He 'slugged' .362. Congratulations, 22 HRs. He also struck out 171 times.

 

That's about as atrocious of a line as I can think of. 22 HRs and only 55 RBIs! 55!!! That's worse than Mike Jacobs!

If he comes cheap, why not? He has a lot of power potential. He doesn't have to start every day. If just for a look.

I like Dan as a person. He was fun to interact with the few times that I did. Not sure how useful he'd be on the field but if Atlanta is paying for him, then no reason not to try it.

For that defense? No. Pass.

he will be an awesome fit here. welcome home dan!!!! glad youre back dude. Super nice guy.
