So, what does Riggs get for his defense of Nyjer this whole season?
A giant knife in the back and a crappy W/L record.
Guess the question is, is Nyjer worth saving? Do you want him back next season?

As a 4th OFer I don't mind Morgan.
Or if he somehow becomes 2nd-half of ’09 Morgan again. Seems like there are other issues going on with him and Riggleman though….

There sure are issues. Obviously, Nyjer can't take instruction or criticism.
Someone mentioned on another board that Nyjer seems like he may have ADD or something. They wondered whether it was worth investigating. What do you guys think?

I meant to ask you guys about this, did any of you see the body language
in the dugout between Morgan and Dunn after Dunn’s HR? They made no eye contact and Nyjer walked by him. Perhaps they had some sort of contact before the camera shot but it looked uncomfortable, of course, I could just be imagining.

0.0-10.0 scale for the anthem?
4.5. This poor fellow is struggling. Rhythm issues, deviation from melody and pitch issues and a useless flourish at the end.

Well it's very hard to get below a 5 for me if you sing the under.
If you’re slow, though, that makes it very very tough for me. The end was awful. Apparently the Marlins’ cheapness extends to anthem singers.

With one out, no excuse for not stopping at 2nd. Stop at 2nd and if it drops your no worse than 3rd with one out. You can’t get doubled off if it doesn’t. Bad baseball play.

I think most of us are hoping so.
But some (coughDAVEcough) think that since he’s been promoted twice in the minors already this year, the team might not want to put the pressure on him.
"And everybody lived happily ever after. Except the Phillies and the Mets. The End." --Sasskuash
Friend of Dukes and Desmond #3
It's a push for me.
He has contact issues. We have 2nd base needs. As long as someone reminds him he can’t slug his way to the bigs and needs to focus on getting on base if he gets here, I don’t have a problem with it.
On a desperate search for Sunshine at Nats Park. In Rizzo and Ramos we trust.
I'm hoping so
Ramos certainly is. Espinosa is not on the 40 man roster as of right now, so they’d have to add him and drop someone from the 40 man. Bringing him up for September wouldn’t hurt them in terms of service time, and it would give him a little taste of the big leagues. I still assume he starts next season in Syracuse, but he’ll almost certainly be added to the 40 man so he can get some work in Spring Training with the club, so there’s no reason not to take a look.

To be honest
The St. Louis situation has me intrigued, and I know that I always notice the Cardinal organization a lot more than most of you since I live here. The rift between Larussa and Colby Rasmus gives me the feeling that one of them is out of here next season. I’m interested to see how that all plays out, but if Rasmus is available…………………….

Not sure about the lazy thing
Larussa claimed that Rasmus has done all the work and said that he works hard. Then (to paraphrase) said that Jon Jay is doing a better job. Of course, the whole point is that the lineup should include both Jay and Rasmus, with guys like Allen Craig and Randy Winn (Winn’s utterly useless at this point, while Craig figures to be a decent fourth or fifth OF liimited to the corners) on the bench.
The Sunday thing was really odd. Rasmus was in the lineup, and then pulled from it at the last minute. He’d had the calf injury, but claims he was ready all last weekend. Larussa had been sitting him pretty frequently all season, and he’s pretty clearly their third best hitter (Pujols/Holliday). Honestly, it’s costing the Cards a shot at the playoffs.
Larussa has done this with many guys (JD Drew, Ray Lankford, Anthony Reyes, Chris Perez… there are more instances not coming to me at the moment), and the end result is always that they’re on their way out of town.

No, not really. I don't hate the Cardinals.
I’m just fed up with TLR’s antics. You know all the Black OPs mind-game stuff. He makes me want to puke when he does that. TLR thinks he smarter than everyone else and if you notice he’s always getting into tiffs with the teams he’s chasing in a division race. Did it to Dusty and the Cubs in ‘03 and I see how he was messing with Dusty and the Reds. He’s a douchay.

Doesn't make as many spectacular plays as T-Plush
But he makes the routine plays a lot better, and he’s got the wheels to handle the position. My preference would be for Morgan to become the fourth outfielder, so……….. Who else (in house) is going to take over CF?

To me his routes are worse and he doesn't cover as much ground.

Lack of maturity does not give you reason to totally burn resources, though.
Find a way to move him for something rather than just let him go. And if it’s not equal value (4th OF with defense and speed), give him a chance to try to generate some additional value.

3) Egotistical player responsible for Stackhouse for Richard Jefferson move and alienating teammates.
4) Jerk during Hall of Fame speech.
Certainly a great player who awed me with his ability, especially early in his career before his epic jerkness was fully apparent, but he also set the stage for the “me” generation of current players with dreams of parallel endorsement domination.

That would be a lot for Solis to make it up here next year.

Norris, Burgess, Lombardozzi, Cole, Kimball, and Solis are the AFL guys. Room for additional part time selections like Harper if so desired by the Rizzo.

I just don’t see any reason, performance or service time wise, for Solis to be up in the bigs until June, at the earliest.

That would also require a lot of fail at the big league level with the veterans like Livo, Marquis and Maya.

I just don’t want Rizzo doing what the A’s did with Trevor Cahill and Brett Anderson last year. It worked with Anderson (except the lost year of service time for Anderson pitching horribly to start off ’09 season), but Cahill was one of the worst SP in the bigs in 2009.

yeah,I'd peg OD rotation more like
Zim-Maya-Olsen-Livo-Marquis-Lannan
(i think the Nats should offer Olsen arb. he won’t get enough in arb to be worth nontendering. and of course, he’s one of my favorite mediocre pitchers)
and, 6 guys, since someone is bound to get hurt or struggle.
Needs moar dingerz.
Don't we have to offer Lannan arb too?
On a desperate search for Sunshine at Nats Park. In Rizzo and Ramos we trust.
I assume that they will not offer him arbritration
And then extend a contract worth less afterwords. It’s not like he is a Type B FA

yeah, they could do that.
i’m for offering arb to both guys, neither will make above 2MM in arb.

that Opening Day starters average $10.9 million (or whatever the number is) whether this would resonate with an arbitration panel….

Teams rarely ever HAVE TO bring anyone up. The point is whether there’s a benefit for the players or the organization to do so.

I respect that, since Tony LaRussa tried to sabotage the Cubs a couple of
seasons ago by pulling all his starters in favor of rooks when playing the Brewers while the Brewers were challenging the Cubs for the division. It was a real bush league move at the time, and I didn’t appreciate it at all, so I have to agree with Riggs on this one.

But the problem is our previous leadoff hitter would make outs that lasted one or two pitches a bit too frequently....
…while also specializing in the non defense threatening ground ball directly at the second baseman. You could almost put the shift and the infield in on Morgan and it wouldn’t make much of a difference.

I guess it's Storen fail.
He got an out. He then gave up a broken bat single, walked a guy with an open base to set up a double play and gave up a ground ball single. Giving up a run is not doing his job and he earns the loss, but that is not exactly getting tattooed.
This one is offense fail. To get as much pitching as we got and still lose is on the offense. The outs we gave up with Desmond’s baserunning and Nyjer’s bad slide were a good part of the difference in this one.

MinorsandMajors Arlodis Chapman just dominated 3 batters in the 8th. Popped 102. Are you kidding me? Slider looked siiiiiick. He’s kind of okay. #Reds
Needs control
He’s walking 5 every 9 innings, and his ERA in AAA is 3.57 – good, but not dominant. I don’t blame the Reds for bringing him up for situational use vs. lefties, though.
