Let Nolan Play

[MrOrange82]

What's the nickname?

James Dean.

[sportsfan8703]

Let's give the "B" OF's some burn. Reimold and Kim should be playing over Rickard and Alvarez.

[allquixotic]

Buck on high

Hear my prayer

In our need

You have always been there

He is young

He can hit

Let him try

It's clear why

Bring him to the plate

To the plate

To the plate.

He's like the HOFer I might have known

If God had granted him his health

The summers fly by

One by one

How soon they fly

On and on

And he'll get old

And will be gone.

Bring him hits

Bring him runs

He is young

He is only a boy

You can bench

You can pay

Let him succeed

Let him play.

If we lose, let us lose

Let him play

To the plate

To the plate

To the plate.

To the tune of

powerless= he has 4 HRs and came very close to hitting another last night that would have won the game and this thread would not have happened...

Yeah, he's pretty powerless this year. And i can't say I see much power upside.

Reimold reached base safely 3 times in 4 plate appearances today, including a lead-off triple in the 5th inning that started a 2-run rally.

Reimold is really doing well for us this season. It's getting hard for even me to justify not giving him a chance starting every day despite my better judgment over concerns about his health. I didn't like how he almost tripped around second base when legging out that triple and it's exactly that kind of stuff that makes me nervous about his health, but Kim and Reimold are playing well and are showing themselves to be the best two outfielders not named Jones on the team and Kim just missed a double today himself. We will see what happens going forward, but I hope the two of them continue to get the lion's share of playing time and just keep our fingers crossed that Nolan can stay healthy.

Also, his middle name immediately makes me think of this guy.

I'd prefer him leading off but I can't see Buck moving Jones down any further than 5th. At least he's playing more.

I don't see the sense of not playing him so he can stay healthy enough to continue not playing.

Now fairly frequent days off? Sure.

Keep him off the crappy turf in Toronto and Tampa? OK.

But I'd give most all the team a day off in a three game set in either of those ballparks.

At this point, I'm with you... kind of reluctantly, but with you. I just keep thinking of how much it would hurt the team if he did get hurt again vs how much he is helping the team in a limited role. The scales always tip towards

the former outweighing the latter. I wouldn't be opposed to him playing at least four days a week at this point.
