Exactly what I was just about to say. Lot of things can happen stealing a base and most of them are bad.

Because I rarely post about promotions & demotions. As a matter of fact I’ve openly admitted to not following the farm that much besides box scores every night. ...and in the box scores anyone can see that Gonzalez and Rivera have proven day in and day out that they are way too good for Kannapolis. Robert, presumably, isn’t longed for Kannapolis just because of his name and money. He’s be in WS in no time, imo.

Last time I said he hadn't hit a HR in awhile, he hit a grand slam the next day. Last night I posted that his average went from .338 to .318 in a week, and now he's up to .324 again. Who else should I reverse jinx? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They absolutely should be, all of them. If we don't see a mass wave of promotions by the end of the month I'm gonna be pretty upset. That would be around the point where you're actively hurting the development of those guys, plus Eloy, by not letting them face competition that's more at their level 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to my stats, 94.3% of game threads on the minor league board have at least 1 "call em up/send em down" post. I find it humorous.

What will be interesting is what happens in Charlotte and Birmingham to free up spots. A few guys probably are pissing down their legs right about now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conventional wisdom would say that. But after Hahn said Eloy would be promoted "in the coming weeks", like, 4 weeks ago, I've become irrationally pessimistic about promotions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Basabe's almost 22....time to see whether he can handle AA. Would expect an average in the .220's or .230's out of him for those first couple of months before he can make adjustments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaliSoxFanViaSWside Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 I get the concern but whats next ? Don't dive for fly balls ? Don't try to run down long fly balls because you might run into the wall ? Gotta let guys with talent use it and whatever happens happens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we know Robert has big speed, but I think his point is that there's no point in utilizing it much at f***ing Kannapolis, of all places. Eventually he'll have to learn the art of stealing bases but perhaps Kannapolis isn't the spot for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
