Macias DFA

[USSoccer]

Could it be that Hendry is sending Baker a very strong message? He's DFA'd Macias and spoken strongly about Cedeno being an everyday player. He's given up some good prospects for Pierre. Is he trying to signal to Dusty that he's going to have to win this year, or else Hendry will dump him in order to save himself?

Someone please explain the whole Rubby Perez thing to me. I am woefully out of the loop.

I doubt it. We've had conversations like this before (like when Murton and Greenberg were brought up), but very little came of it. Murton got the start on his first day, but then sat against righties forever.

Probably not, but I hope so.

Yeah, but Murton performed to such a level in that 2 months on the roster that Hendry may not give Baker a potential platoon mate for him in LF. In other words, he's taken Macias and signed Mabry instead of a younger LH bench player. Mabry hasn't played everyday in 8 years.

Mabry not playing everyday in 8 years isn't going to stop Dusty from giving him way too many starts. Murton is pretty much locked in to start in LF, but I have a feeling Dusty will still keep him on a short leash.

 

Hendry isn't sending any messages to Dusty. They tend to think alike a lot more than most of us wish they did.

It;ll stop Dusty from starting him when Mabry gets hurt from playing too much. Plus, I really, really have faith that Murton showed Baker enough to earn more patience from him that was given to Dubois, Choi, etc.

I hope you're right - I really do. I just think it's a little idealistic to assume that Murton is pretty much guaranteed the starting job for an extended period of time.

Man, I wanted Macias gone but now I really feel bad for the guy. I hope he find a job somewhere.

You're kidding, right? We basically gave him money the last two years - plenty enough to live out the rest of his life.

I hope he accepts the assignment and goes to Iowa. It's not like he'll ever be re-rostered, and maybe he can pass some useful ML info to someone, or turn into a good coach. He seemed like a good teamate, and players that suck but try usually make good coaches.

 

If he doesn't catch on somewhere, he's made a couple million. So it's hard for me to feel too sorry for him.

Macias has apparently gotten an offer from the St. Louis Cardinals. It's for 3 years and 2.4 million dollars, and a rags-to-riches MVP season in 2006 after Pujols tragically dies in a plane crash during the preseason.

That's ridiculous.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Cardinals would never have to deal with an issue like Pujols getting hurt in any way.

[cubbyvirus00]

YES THANK YOU LORD!!

 

 

NO HOLLANDSWORTH! NO MACIAS! NO NEIF........ERR GOTTA WAIT TWO MORE YEARS

 

 

No worries, Macias will OWN EVERYBODY at the WBC. Hes representing Panama!

I wish my job would pay me that much to be terrible.

I heard a rumor that Jose Macias has been DFA'd.... TRUE????

 

 

:P

I love being in the minority, but I am actually going to miss Macias, I thought he wasn't as bad as people say he was. If Baker would had kept him in the 7th/8th spot in the lineup, when Macias was schedule to play. Macias would have been fine.

 

Good luck to you, Mr. Macias.
