As was predicted by...almost everyone, that "we're gonna play the kid" thing lasted about 2 weeks. Soto is benched for no reason. Theriot finally getting benched WOULD be good if we had any kind of capable backup.

 

Colvin is still projected to play in nearly every game and get 280+ plate appearances. He's got a line of .222/.333/.444. How much more do you want him to play, and why?

7th inning defensive replacement every game is not enough playing time, and he needs at least one start a series. Otherwise, we might as well stash him in Iowa and let him improve.

 

At least one start per series is not a spot start. That's a regular platoon. Soriano has an OPS over 1000 the last 7 games. Byrd and Fukudome both deserve to start today.

 

Tyler Colvin is still just Tyler Colvin. He doesn't need to be starting every third day.

If Colvin doesn't deserve to start then send him to Iowa.

There is good reason to believe that the best Colvin can hope to be is a useful part time OF. There's slim hope of him turning into a good everyday guy. If you hold onto that hope, I understand wanting him to play in Iowa everyday to keep developing. But his current usage is a perfectly acceptable amount, especially when you consider his most likely career outcome.

Who exactly are you people advocating benching Colvin for? Byrd, whos 6 for his last 9? Soriano, whos 9 for his last 21? Fuku who's sat the last 2 games due to facing a lefty?

Is there literally noone outside of Castro we could call up to have a competent back up SS besides Castro? Why is Chad Tracy on this team? I'm already pissed and the game hasn't started.

Fontenot at shortstop is going to be a whole lot of fun.

 

especially with Z on the mound.

 

 

You might suggest Theriot is entering lou's doghouse.

 

 

Can't imagine why ????
