Dunt Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 .231/.273/.288 with a 41.8% K% and a .393 BABIP. Why is this guy still getting major league at bats? Isn't it past time to give those at bats to someone like Coats or Hayes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry Chappas Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 The real kicker is he cannot play defense. He really serves no purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quin Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 He can play first supposedly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jose Abreu Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jun 1, 2016 -> 09:44 AM) He can play first supposedly. But so can Abreu, Frazier, and Saladino. We don't need him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chw42 Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 I think almost everyone on this board has been asking this since opening day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, it seems like most wanted Travis Ishikawa, and we all see how that worked out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harkness99 Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 It's time to try someone from the minor leagues... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea why he's still on the roster. If May showed us anything, it's that we'd be better off using that roster spot on an extra bullpen arm.

tray Posted June 2, 2016 Share Posted June 2, 2016 One reason that teams don't continue to shuffle in minor league players to see if they can cut it is that once promoted, players start to acquire rights as member of a major league roster - not only league minimum salary, but also healthcare and pension benefits. I'm not sure how much that applies to the current players we have but I would like to see Jason Coats and Danny Hayes brought up and Shuck and Sands sent down or released. I would also like to see Tim Anderson brought up and Rollins traded or released. Again, there are a lot of financial considerations in making moves like that, which is why we don't see them made more often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
