Hooray!! Should’ve waited for him to get to rule 5 status…oh wait. Something tells me he’s not gonna bat .600 the rest of his career, but I’m certain those “he’s here too early” posts are not going to age well. Reminiscent of how Crochet couldn’t be a starter since he didn’t have the prerequisite “required innings”. Precedent is overrated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty is a top 100 prospect after the shine came off, and ranking systems re-evaluated. The talent is 1st round worthy. If he turns out to be an average (2-4 WAR) shortstop for the 6-7 years he's controlled, that's a huge win out of that slot (22th, I believe).

Ozzie for Manager Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 They need to give noda credit for putting the ball in play on his batting average. He might hit .150. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peanut33tillman Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Noda is completely worthless. Would much rather screw around with AAAA Elko up here. At least there’s some what of an unknown with him. Noda looks like the worst player in the entire big leagues. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the idea, but I don't think he's a major league hitter. But sure, I'd rather he figure it out since we don't really care to sweep the Rox, or whatnot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not even a big Elko fan but maybe you strike lightening in a bottle and get at least a competent big league player. At least he’ll run into a HR on occasion. We know factually what Noda is here and it is beyond horrible . He gives you nothing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestEddy Posted July 6 Author Share Posted July 6 Just tandem Smith and Vasil going forward. Have Smith throw 3-4 in the next couple of starts, then flip them and build up Vasil, with Smith taking whatever's left after 5 or 6. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Bell and Rowdy Tellez get major league contracts every year, and that's all they are, now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
