Top Notch Starters at Deadline
PrinceEatMeat replied to Hate those Rodents's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
I agree that Green is a good trade chip for us right now. I really don't see us giving up on Gamel at third like we did with Braun. It's a possibility that he could move to first if/when Prince leaves, but I would guess that we would go with a different option there, possibly someone from this draft as you said. If Gamel stays at third, there is no place for Green on this team anytime in the near future. -
JJ Hardy for Clay Buchholz?
PrinceEatMeat replied to GamelToe's topic in Transaction Rumors & Proposals
Well, I'm on-board with you on that one. I think Hardy is pretty overrated offensively, because of his streaky hitting as you said. He'll have some hot streaks, but other times he just seems to be a liability, especially out of the 2 hole. Defensively he is always solid, and that's also something Escobar provides. I don't believe that Escobar would be a better option offensively within the next few years, but I think that he could end up being a better hitter than Hardy in the future, just because of his consistency. He is also a threat on the basepaths, whereas Hardy is one of the slowest players on our team. If we can get a solid, young pitcher for Hardy either now, or in the offseason, I would be really tempted to do it. I do think that the odd man out who will be shopped is Hardy. I don't think he has any plans of attempting to switch his position, and there's no way he'll trade away Escobar. I also don't think he'll move Gamel from third, when he already moved Braun from that same position, it might make him look bad. Hardy will likely be gone before next season, and if Buchholz is on the table right now, I think Melvin has to consider it. -
I agree that he should be seeing time at 2b if they want to give him a chance, just because I think Counsell will burn out at some point if he keeps playing this much. I highly doubt we'll see him against RHP much more this season. I think Gamel will likely cement himself in as the starting 3b against RHP for the rest of the season. Although, I think he should get some looks against LHP. He has said before that he feels more comfortable at the plate against LHP, because he doesn't allow himself to open up as much. I think that's why he is successful against LHP. But Macha will do what he wants I guess. I guess he doesn't want a rookie lefty in there against LHP.
-
I can't believe that Kendall and Rivera stole a base in the same game.
-
Time for the Craig Counsell heroics!
-
Yep, that was a great decision once again there by Macha to not bunt.
-
It's like he has ADD or something out there. He can't stop moving.
-
If Counsell gets up, I'll be confident.
-
Well I forgot that their closer is a lefty, so we will likely see McGehee to leadoff, then Kendall, and unfortunately Gerut against the lefty. But maybe Macha goes with Rivera, I don't know what he'll do.
-
I would've went with McClung in the 7th, and saved Coffey for the 8th.
-
Why in the world is Villanueva still in this game?! He already could've cost us the game right there. Especially with the bottom of the order due up in the 9th.
-
Here's a good question. Who will come in to pitch if the score is still tied in the bottom of the 9th?
-
And next inning we have probably Catalanotto, Kendall, and Gerut batting. That doesn't excite me.
-
Crap! Villy sucks today. No command whatsoever.
-
Well, now Chipper will get another ab, but hopefully it will be against Hoffman, so it shouldn't matter.
-
And again, I thought that might go. I wouldn't've went with Villy for the third straight day. But I guess with DiFelice gone we don't have a ton of options, unless we would've saved Coffey.
-
Well, that almost gave me a heart attack.
-
The Reds have a better record than the Cubs though. But, I still hate the Cubs.
-
Yes! There's the patented Coffey grounder. Nice job by Gamel too.
-
Well, Chipper still has a shot at the cycle. He's now a double away.
-
So much for that.
-
He never has to face that HOF batter with 2 men on if he doesn't walk a guy with 2 outs and nobody on base. Yep, I think that's where the issue was in this situation. Not necessarily the HR. It's how he got setup for that.
-
If his front foot had got on the bag, he was safe, but it didn't. So he was clearly out.
-
He was out by a mile. But, nice hit.
-
Ken, thank you for not pulling a Yost. Good move.
