Soriano?

[Beer Kaese]

Switching to the light bat looks like winner. He's not worth the cash but he's probably been the best offensive player since he accepted coaching. I'm thinking we won't have to eat the contract.

Oh we'll have to eat the contract.

 

Soriano's got a couple of things things going for him...teammates/coaches/players love him in the 'ol locker room (why this goes first, I don't know)...he can hit for some power...and he can play a good LF.

 

Hopefully there's an AL contender desperate enough and convinced that a few days a week as a DH will be rest enough to maximize what he has left. Come oooooon Tigers.

[davell]

I respect what Sori's going through, playing hurt, not complaining, and certainly playing better. Unfortunately, it's the playing hurt part, that's going to keep him from being dealt this season.

[Beer Kaese]

I really can't see why a team would want him this year or even in the off season. Unless he's just warming up.

They are not updated with today's game.

[Sammy Sofa]

Yeah, you almost always have to give BR about a day to update.

[Soul]

That was a heck of a game for his totals.

What is it now?

We're gong to have to eat the contract...and the sooner the better so others can come up and start our rebuild.

 

The biggest mistake our new masterminds are making is hanging onto Sori trying 'to get something for him'

 

Its retarding the progress of Brett Jackson, who needs to get on-the-job training at the MLB level.

 

The money is gone...we cant get it back. Release Sori.

 

Should have been done last winter.

I'm one of the biggest B Jackson fans around and even I'm scared of what that 31% K rate will do in the majors. He doesn't NEED OJT in the majors, he needs to improve his contact skills in AAA.

Like Castro and Campana and Cardenas...

what's the difference? /.we're dead last ?

 

On the job training for all.....cant be scared of them failing....we need to know what we have

 

Seriously...why is he different from our other rookies..>?

The last month Soriano is at .270/.337/.640 (.997 OPS). You want him released right now? In favor off a guy that isn't doing that in AAA?

Because he's choosing to be punchless.

Castro has never had contact problem. Taking a walk is a different issue. His K rate in AA was roughly 9.5%. It's been mid teen's since his callup. Jackson would be in serious trouble if it jumped to 35+% in the majors. He needs to get it under control first, before he's called up.

Your arguement is that he's not 100% ready and mine is that few players ever are.

We have need...

I dont think Barney was hitting up a storm when we called him up.

 

We have the worst defensive left fielder in MLB...Its not all his fault. he's hurt. But he's bad.

 

How much lower would we be in the standings right now if Brett Jackson was playing center,

Tony Campana or Bryan LaHair was in left and Sori had been released...last winter?

Yeah but he usually plays 1B so it's not an issue.

[MSG T]

They won't screw up Soriano's development keeping him out there. They very well could with Jackson. I'd be perfectly fine keeping him in AAA all season, even if the alternative is Campana playing every day.

[davell]

Soriano has put up 1.4 fWAR so far this season.

they're not babies.....MSG...he's played a lot of minor league games...

 

how many at bats does Jackson have the last 2 years at AAA.

 

Not everybody fails when they come up..and if he does..send him back

 

It didnt screw up Rizzo by SD giving him a chance last year, did it??

 

Jackson's done time in the minors....and while we have a 'lost year' lets use it to develop

 

Let's not manufacture a reason to wait yet another year to start the rebuilding

[El Duderino]

Brett Jackson has barely played 100 games at AAA.

[jersey cubs fan]

the ellipsis sure are familiar

[oldunclemark]

Brett Jackson has barely played 100 games at AAA.

 

Thanks Dude....I appreciate the help... :good:

 

100 AAA games....almost 3 1/2 years in pro ball?

 

Its time to see if the boy can play MLB...

 

 

..and the money we owe Sori is lost...We cant get it back. Have a 'Sori appreciation day' and then release him.

 

Let him misjudge one more ceremonial flyball like Kerry Wood got one more strikeout...

 

We have to pay him either way. So we can release him or we can continue to watch him miss balls in left field.

 

Its our choice..
