Cut Viciedo too

Jared Mitchell is going to go into shutdown mode if Flowers is "wronged." Absurd.

He's already in shutdown mode.

If you're not saying bring him up tomorrow then you're agreeing with me that it's not time yet.

 

I'd give Flowers until ~ the trade deadline. That's the level of shot I think he's earned. That's mid to late July.

 

So if Flowers gets his average up to .215 and Phegley is still hitting .330, how can you make a change without Jered Mitchell being upset about it?

Is Viciedo ever going to learn how to hit righties

Well first of all there is no one named Jered Mitchell in our system so I wouldn't worry about that.

RBIs is not a good stat to base his performance off of. It's always going to be heavily influenced by your spot in the lineup and how the hitters in front of you are doing. As for the HRs, what would he be on pace for if you excluded that three game stretch?

Lets take out hot streaks for everybody then. Wtf kind of post is that?

why do we have Casper Wells again?

Casper the friendly ghost....you suck

The fact that Casper wells is playing is why Dunn will on this roster at least through the remainder of the season. Wells sucks

What? Pointing out a typo!!

Nothing like playing a strict platoon guy against a tough RHP

I think the question is why is he batting 6th against a righty.

The bench and minor league system being mistreated by KW is really evident the last two years.

Yeah. Rios shoulda been in there again. I bet I couldn't find a post where you and I agreed he needed a day off even if I tried.

Give him another 2,500 AB's before passing judgement.

I lol'd.

Marty, if the Royals put Hosmer and Moustakas on waivers right now, would you want to claim them?

Exactly, if you have to play him for some reason, at least bat him 9th.

Ventura and parent are not really any good at their jobs it appears.

Wasn't he hitting righties when he came off the DL? Seems like he's just in a funk right now.

Absolutely. Without question, great minor league numbers, cheap contracts.

I think he deserves the day off, but I would have kept Keppinger in the lineup as the DH. Wells has no prayer against a pitcher like this.

I see.

 

So you're plenty willing to give time to develop to cheap trash from other teams with great minor league numbers, just not ones from the White Sox.

 

Guys from the White Sox struggle, they need immediately replaced. Guys from the Royals struggle...hey, they're one swing away from turning it around!

This line-up would struggle to win games in Charlotte.

 

Well, KW's chickens have come home to roost, but to say Josh Phegley isn't being promoted to protect Jared Mitchell is equally ridiculous.

 

How many rookie pitchers did we use last season? 11?

 

There are plenty of opportunities for young players in this system...but you don't groom someone as a potential starter for 2-3 years and just give up unless you're 100% sure the next player in is ready and will be better.

 

Clearly, if they keep losing game after game and fall out of contention, everything's up for discussion.

 

As long as DET and CLE keep us within that 4-6 GB range, though, it's pretty hard to justify punting on the entire season when there's no reason not to at least wait until July with the way the schedule for this month is set up.
