June 1, 201213 yr QUOTE (flavum @ May 31, 2012 -> 08:11 PM) I've been saying he should replace Fukudome. 2-2, double, walk. Hitting .295. For as little as Robin uses his bench, no way. Let him play everyday.

Maybe for a little while longer, but what's the end game here? Isn't he a 4th outfielder? That's what he would be. He could fill in anywhere in the outfield, pinch run and go in on defense.

June 1, 201213 yr Danks is 26 in his 3rd year at AAA and still has a K/PA rate of 26.5%. He's not a future major league starter. Therefore, I'd be fine with him taking Fukudome's spot at this point. Ryan Kussmaul is 25 and an NDFA signing, but he's been pretty solid as B-Ham's closer. K rate is over a guy an inning, miniscule ERA... but the walk rate is a little high. My new AAP Mark Haddow on a 13 game hitting streak. Last 10 games: .486/.548/.622/1.169. Season so far: .332/.404/.495/.898.

June 1, 201213 yr QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jun 1, 2012 -> 12:19 AM) Not sure why he would be anywhere but BIRM or CHAR. He's only got 7 games of AAA experience, but over 300 games played at AA, in the Southern League, reaching that level in 2008. He's bound to be promoted to at least Winston-Salem soon. He is at least 3 years older than every player on Kannapolis' roster. I didn't even think a 27 year old player was eligible to play in Low A ball.
