Balta1701 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 QUOTE (shipps @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 04:19 PM) I dont blame Alexei. He is aging and becoming a lesser player as most baseball players do. I lean toward blaming management for not trading him when they should have before. He gave us a lot of good years of decent baseball so I am really not angry at either side. But they better find a way to replace him by next year. QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 04:21 PM) or how about finding a way to get him more rest out there? I do understand why they kept him this year, given that they were "going for it". Ergo...the problem with this season is that management made "going for it" decisions when they shouldn't have.

fathom Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 08:23 PM) With Bonifacio, Gillaspie, Sanchez, Ramirez, Beckham, and Saladino all on the roster, Alexei better be sitting out game two. Stunning to see that list written that way with so many horrible offensive options on one roster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condor13 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Saladino has looked good this game, Eaton is still providing the power for this team as of late. I guess those are positives from this game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be surprised if the Yankees or someone like that was willing to take a chance on Alexei for the rest of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 I'm still bewildered as to what the plan is with Saladino. Just going to keep him indefinitely? Are we considering a change at some position--meaning someone is released/optioned--then who? And if not, then what is the point of starting the kid every day for a week of games?

I'm hoping they're going to give him a shot at SS. I can't imagine they have money to fill that position next year while also filling some of the other gaping holes on this roster and he's been a solid defensive SS in the minors. He's got a shot to be a tolerable SS for next year, let's give him that shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Abreu Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 17, 2015 -> 03:25 PM) He just got 4 days of rest! It's not just rest, it's his play. Also, four days of rest is nice, but playing two 9 inning games in 9 hours is tough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, this has turned out to be true. Its really difficult to argue against management going for it though. As a fan I will probably ALWAYS be on board in going for it.
