Is it too controversial to bench Jose for September? He won't be here next year and we need to see what Hernandez can do. Definitely Urena should be there over Goins and Barney.
Watching these three rookies right now has been more exciting than all of August. I don't even have high expectations for any of them just nice to see potential over replacement guys.
Yea even if he didn't regain his secondary stuff he still was a pretty decent starter for 3 years, we've seen guys a lot shittier than Alvarez get shots at a rotation spot this year alone. We certainly could of used a guy like Alvarez with a little potential and still young. Then again everyone passed on him after his showcase and he wasn't dominating at all in Indy ball.
Hernandez, Jansen, Campos, Fields. DSJ. Maybe Borucki if Rowley/Biagini really suck?
I still would like to see Rowdy and Alford get a few at bats at the mlb level but I don't think that's going to happen.
Instant Kinsler fan. He is 100% right though, umpires have been allowed to be game changeably awful for way too long now.
Reporter: "Were you surprised at how fast you were ejected?"
Kinsler: "No, I'm surprised at how bad of an umpire he is."
Can't see the Marlins trading Stanton now that Loria sold the team. Stanton would of been a lock to be traded this off season had the sale not gone through.
The only depth guy who actually gave us a chance to win a game. No reason not to keep running him out there see if we might actually have a 5th starter.
I would rather see Rowley get the rest of starts in that spot then see Bolsinger, Valdez or Tepesch again.
