Weeks to DL w/sprained knee; Iribarren Recalled (reply #25)

[Klements Bratwurst]

Weeks to the DL per Haudricourt. Irribarrean up. So much for day to day.....

[MarquesJohnson2000]

Rickie put on DL, Hernan called up.

It always is better to play hurt and play like crap and hurt your team than to not play!

 

Well Weeks' has supposedly done that before, so why not again?

[MillerParkSouth]

so, does Hall see time at 2nd here or are we looking at a Counsillon platoon here? (god I hope not)

[Oldcity]

I'd like to see Hall get the majority of the playing time at second. No more Dillon at second, and no more Counsell leading off. Kthxbai.

[T B0NE 10]

Does the hurricane play 2B?

[OldSchoolSnapper]

I'd like to see Hall get the majority of the playing time at second. No more Dillon at second, and no more Counsell leading off. Kthxbai.

Anything but that, please. Weeks get hurt so we replace him with the one player who's been more inept ... no thanks. Give me Counsell or Dillon please. The Hurricane did play 2B, but has been playing LF this year. My gut says they won't move him back to 2B, but I don't know. I think they just called up a guy who offers speed and OBP.

 

[TooLiveBrew]

Well the sad part is that, as bad as Hall has been he's still a better choice than Counsell. As far as Dillon at 2B, ... *barf*

 

and I love Joe Dillon.

I think you might be letting some of Hall's errors this year at third base stand for more than they should. Dillon is not a middle infielder at all. He has zero range, and is much worse than Hall at second in all likelihood. Like Russ said earlier, the way to go is Dillon/Branyan at third and Counsell/Hall at second.

 

[OldSchoolSnapper]

My problem isn't with Hall at 2B, it's Hall in the batter's box. I don't particularly like him defensively, but I would prefer him to Dillon ... his bat is just so pathetic that I can't stand having him in the lineup each day. Of those three, I'd probably go with Counsell for most of the starts. It's not spectacular, but I really have no tolerance for Bill Hall's offense any more.

[MadisonBrewerBlue]

who goes to lead off ? Branyan behind Prince or Hall ? I see lots of K'S from Branyan and Hall behind Prince.

 

Hart RF

Cameron CF

Braun LF

Fielder 1B

Branyan 3B

Hall 2B

Hardy SS

Kendall C

[OldSchoolSnapper]

Could we be looking at Counsell leading off?

[lukevan]

Brian Roberts anyone? The asking price probably just went up a bit.

[brewtank34]

I'd feel horrible for Hall if he got switched positions again. If this occurs, I would not be surprised if Hall comes out Personally this time, and demands a trade. Seriously, how many times are we going to lie to this kid? (if this occurs, of course)

 

I really hope this doesn't happen. My fingers are crossed for ya Hall...

[Braminano]

You have to love the organization's routine of "he's Day-to Day and won't be going on the DL" and then turning around shortly after that "he's on the DL". First Gagne and now Weeks.

[homer]

"I'd feel horrible for Hall if he got switched positions again"

 

Some guy on the js blog said he'd never seen someone so annoyed at a position change since his second wife.

 

Laughed out loud at that one.

I might care if he were producing in any manner. He should be thanking his lucky stars for each opportunity and taking any PT he can get. Guys who sign a giant contract and then fail miserably don't really earn the right to hold down a position.

 

[owbc]

I would move Hall to 2B every day and have a Dillon/Branyan platoon at 3B.

[MillerParkSouth]

how could Hall be upset with moving to 2B? He wanted more at bats, well there they are. Hasn't he always said that his natural position is 2B anyways?

[lukevan]

Yeah I'm pretty sure Hall would be happy to get regular playing time again.

[Gobias Industries]

Well hopefully he can have a quick rehab assignment in AAA.

 

I thought he was really starting to turn a corner during the Boston and Pittsburgh series a couple weeks ago, but since then I think he's looked as bad as he ever has imo.

[OldSchoolSnapper]

I kind of feel like a trip to the DL is the best for Rickie and the Brewers right now. If they weren't going to bench him for a week, I think this might turn out to be an okay deal.

[Fatter than Joey]

my only problem with Hall playing 2b would be that he would be leading off.

[TooLiveBrew]

FtJ beat me to it --

The 2B always, under every circumstance, leads off!

[OldSchoolSnapper]

That sounds awfully silly. There are plenty of 2B who don't lead off, and if Hall were playing 2B, there is no way he would lead off.
