caulfield12 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 The problem with Morel is we have no replacement in sight, other than Lillibridge (who the majority view as a platoon option, at best, and who has very limited experience at 3B at any level). So unless they trade Thornton/Crain/Floyd and get back a young starting 3B, they pretty much have to stick it out for the next 2-3 months and determine once and for all if he's going to be a part of the future. He goes to AAA for 2 months, hits decently (in line with minor league track record) and then puts up a similar August/September to 2011, then who would have any confidence he would repeat it again in 2013 after what happened this season?

caulfield12 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Viciedo hitting .417 against sliders in the middle of the plate, lol. Cue Fathom comment...why would you throw him anything but a fastball above the letters or a breaking pitch way off the plate for him to take a Uribe-esque cut at?

Right thats really the main problem....I think Dallas is on the DL? I mean its pretty clear to see he cant hit Major League Pitching right now. Continuing to fail isnt going to help his confidence.

iamshack Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Hawk scared the s*** out of me with that spastic call of the home run...I turned away for a moment and thought for a moment he might have been shot or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 (edited) Morel threatening 400 OPS, now at 415. Alexei at 481. What happened to the 2008 version? Yeah, yeah, I know...he'll heat up in June and July and August. Well, at least Beckham got on base for Dunn, there's that.

caulfield12 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 (edited) Heart of the order coming up. Most important inning of Stewart's 2012 season here. I don't know how he's doing it, has to be command and movement, because it's certainly no velocity. So for now, I'll apologize to young Mr. Stewart, although I don't believe it can last for much longer. I guess for now we should hope for Molina to start throwing in the 80's instead of 89-93 as well. Edited May 15, 2012 by caulfield12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
