This is a discussion about why the team is not exciting to watch this year. Would you be more excited if Wilken were playing 3rd base and Misiorowski was in the starting rotation?

Sure that would be more exciting, but for Wilken its questionable whether that would be the best thing for his long term development. Entering the month he was hitting .164 in AA. Not sure a three week heater no matter how scorching is enough to promote him straight away to MLB.

I don't doubt Misio could step into the MLB rotation and perform right now, but I also don't see the need to call him up immediately. The rotation is doing fine without him (5th in ERA- | 6th in rWAR since 0401) and there are a number of veteran arms coming back that are going to need those starts if we want to get anything for them at the deadline. Let guys like Rodriguez, Priester, Henderson and Patrick who are already on the 40 Man bounce back and forth until it sorts itself out.

Jacob's first four starts he walked 12 guys in 18.2 IP. It's only been in his last five starts (7 BB in 30.2 IP) that he's appeared to have turned a corner. I'm fine with letting him build on that recent success for awhile longer then adding him to the 40 Man and calling him up after the deadline.

Maybe he’ll retire. That would be godsend.

He can't be having much fun.  He is almost always the DH and can no longer hit his way out of a paper bag.  :-(

And Yelich.

It feels like Yeli is already below the Mendoza line...
