Jake Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Aforementioned play by Semien was with 1 out, men on the corners. hard ground ball towards the middle, he takes a couple steps and dives, catching the ball at full extension. On his stomach, he glove flips to Carlos Sanchez who finishes the DP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get this kid up and bring some new energy. No. Let him play 3B and hold on to the very valuable asset that is Alexei. We have nothing to gain by cutting payroll. We'll be in the bottom third of the league in payroll next year and if we lost one of our pricey vets, we'd be in the bottom 3-4 teams. Don't dump Alexei, the player who ranks highest on our team in WAR compared to others in the league at his position, just to save a few bucks. Somebody would take him, especially if we threw a few bucks in, for talent that can help us. I don't know why this board is obsessed with bringing up new guys to replace our best players without getting anything of value from the loss of those best players.

Jake Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 2, 2013 -> 07:15 PM) Anything of interest from his 3 at bats? Not really. Had a deep fly out on a very off balance swing, so I was surprised at his power. He looks like he knows the strike zone really well, which is unsurprising.

Jake Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 2, 2013 -> 07:26 PM) From what was being reported, Alexei and Rios had very little value at the deadline. At the deadline, you have a very narrow market of suitors for most position players. The market is even narrower for guys making any money at mid-season. You have to hold on to these guys into the offseason at the least, where there are many more teams that feel they are about to compete and many more teams that are able to take on salary. Personally, I think there ought to be some sense of urgency to move Rios in the offseason, though again I'm not going to get nothing for him. With Alexei, since you more or less have an opening at third, I'd prefer to give Semien a trial at third. This gives you a chance to evaluate his bat at the big league level before you part ways with Alexei who is going to be difficult to replace if Semien cannot do it.

Jake Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Semien reaches on an error by the shortstop for the second time today. This one was well-hit. It was a very good at-bat, what I am seeing from him is pitchers constantly try to get him to bite on sliders away and he isn't biting on it.

Jake Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 QUOTE (flavum @ Aug 2, 2013 -> 07:52 PM) Giddy up. Is Semien forcing errors with his speed, or just bad defense? Neither one drew a throw. This recent one, which was hit hard and went off the SS's wrist, ricocheted right to the LF and he still took second on the play. QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 2, 2013 -> 07:52 PM) He has big time opposite field power right now Indeed. That was impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we line up that series with Sale/Danks/Axelrod. The team refuses to score for Sale, so might as well start him if you want to lose.
