  1. 1. Who should Reyes replace on the roster on Friday?

    • Kawasaki - The Japanese charm has worn off.
      0
    • Diaz - He started out hot but has 'regressed to the mean'.
      12
    • Goins - The Kid will never hit at the MLB level.
      23
    • Happ - He's bad and a cancer in the clubhouse.
      5
    • Wagner - Has options and this org. cannot afford to give up any asset, positive or negative.
      3
    • Redmond - He will never be Jesse Chavez 2.0.
      0
    • Sierra - Did you see that pathetic GIF in the GDT? Also, he has trouble counting to 3.
      5
    • Thole -Who needs a backup C when we have JBau who can fill in any position, at any time, like a boss

Goins. Kawasaki and Diaz at 2B would seem like the least terrible option. It'll probably be Kawasaki though.

 

 

Edit: Forgot they had 8 relievers atm, so it'll be Wagner unless AA is ready to risk losing one of Happ, Rogers or Redmond.

Option Diaz to Buffalo

 

Put Sierra on waivers and DFA

 

Call up Gose and Francisco

 

Keep Kawasaki and Goins

Unless they also designate Sierra for assignment. That would free up another spot. Seems inevitable. What's Gibby supposed to do with him after today??

I don't think they're ready to risk losing Sierra yet. I really think/hope they're trying to trade Happ, Rogers or Redmond for a RHH or 2B. Unless I'm wrong, I see them taking advantage of Wagner's option even though they probably think Wagner belongs in MLB.

Who has better defense, Diaz or Goins? I'm trying to decide between them. I'd also like to see Sierra swapped out for Gose. He would be a useful piece later in the game, and on days like today when Rasmus needs a day off but no DL stint.

Goins in my opinion. It's hard to say who goes, could be Wagner or any of the infielders. Diaz is the obvious choice but then you have 8 relievers and 2 lefty 2B's.

Really hoping Lind isn't out too long. I'd like to see this team play at least a few games at 100%

You can only call up one of Gose or Francisco because you optioned Diaz for Reyes to come back.

Sierra because he was an option on the poll lol

 

Honestly though our bench should be: Thole (why can't we have Kratz??), Diaz, Kawazaki and Gose. Defense off the bench for dayzzzzzzzzzzzz.

 

Thole: Can catch Dickey.... that's about it. Should be Kratz though

Diaz: Likeable defensive wizard who can play every position basically

Kawazaki: Even if Gonis went 5 for his last 9, I think Kawazaki outplays him in the long term. Regardless of how awesome he is off the field, he has a great eye at the plate unlike Goins

Gose: Dude's going to be Rajai 2.0 off the bench late in games. He can steal 50+ bases off the bench lol. Pinch Runner + best outfielder on the team (speed + arm fapfapfap)

I think goins, with a few recent hits, has bought himself some more time. And I think sending him down now not even a month in sends a terrible message to him after placing him on the pedestal this off-season.

 

Based on AA's past, i'd guess Wagner goes down. But he's been terrific & Gibby loves him as well. So I'd guess Diaz or Kawasaki and with Diaz a right handed bat and the fact he was on the team right off the get go, my guess is Kawasaki goes down.

AA cant help himself. he cant do the right thing for the team when it means possibly losing a fringe player or God forbid he hurts someones feelings.

 

AA is the little old lady who holds the line up, at the grocery store, paying $23 with nickles and dimes.

Hate to see Saki go down. He can get on base better then just about everyone on the team.... and people might laugh at the thought of him as a bat off the bench... But sometimes you just need a guy to move runners to 2nd and 3rd, or turn the lineup over.

yeah, he's one of my fav hitters on the team since last year - grinds out at bats, walks, pitcher is forced to throw a # of pitches, 2 strike approach is great, can bunt properly (i'm still amazed players at that level cannot lay down a good bunt consistently) and move guys over/put the ball in the air to drive someone in...

 

i'd prefer him on this team full time

I want Reyes full time with Kawasaki and either Goins or Diaz to share MIF work

 

I want Sierra gone

 

I want Gose and Francisco on the bench for now

 

This still might not work out ideally but at least you have a more versatile bench that way

A bench of Thole, Kawasaki, Gose and Francisco wouldn't be that bad actually

 

Edit: Just realized Francisco bats left. Too many LHB's on the bench that way. Would much rather have Kratz than Thole for other reasons anyway, and would also make the bench 50/50 left/tight.

 

So my ideal bench (with what we have available) would be Kratz, Kawasaki, Gose and Francisco

 

That bench is MILES better and much more versatile than Thole, Sierra and Diaz

Looking at all the different roster scenarios makes me wish Izturis hadn't fallen down those stairs. He looked like he had probably bounced back enough to be a one win player and a switch hitter was nice to have on a team running a short bench. Kawasaki is fairly similar minus the switch hitting part but unlike Izturis he has options which I think means he'll be the one demoted even though he shouldn't. Thanks to a recent uptick in production, the Ryan Goins as starting 2B experiment will probably be prolonged. If Diaz is demoted instead of Kawasaki, I figure Kawasaki would still be strictly a backup until another prolonged Goins slump.

Most people on this board know that Kawasaki is the best option out of all of the light hitting middle infielders.
