Someday in the future, Joey Rickard can be proud that he scratched out a 1000 AB career as a major leaguer.  He's got 400 to go.

Rickard beats Davis at slugging pct. And he ain't even a slugger. Faster, better fielder, higher batting avg. Rickard has more HR/AB than Davis or Trumbo. And he's 200M cheaper. Maybe management will do themath one day...

Duh.

Rickard is the best outfielder we have now by far. Like maybe one day our management  will notice that fielding is important...

Duh.

You mean defensively?

Look, I'm happy that Rickard has made the most of his talent but he's not a starting OF at the major league level.  Or shouldn't be.  He's hit a few home runs in limited at bats but his numbers aren't even close to Trumbo.  And shouldn't be close to Davis.  (well, they're not, they're much better but you get the point)

We need to see Mullins and Hays and Stewart and not have them bog down in the minor league system where they start getting worse.  It's happened before.  Clear the room and let them take their lumps at the big league level.  It's time.

If Hays hadn't gotten hurt and then slumped horribly in Bowie before getting hurt again, he could of been here.

Mullins and Stewart need to play every day. They won't with Jones still here and Buck in favor of Mancini/Valencia/Trumbo.

Hence, the room must be cleared for them first.  See if they can trade Trumbo, put Mancini at 1B/DH, see if they can trade Valencia, get rid of Rasmus, and there you go.

(vs. PHILLIES, 7/04)

 

PHILLIES ANNOUNCERS: ll Joey Rickard had barely finished putting his uniform on when he was inserted into the game in the bottom of the 6th inning. On the very first pitch that David Hess threw, Rickard made a great, diving catch in the gap to prevent a lead-off triple.

    • I don't think it is really the past 5 games.  It is the next 4 months, potential playoffs, and all of next year that has people concerned.  Remember these elbows aren't just taking guys out this year, but most of next year as well. And Burnes probably won't be around next either. 
    • It is just a real shame that the Os are going through all of these elbows.  Take away all of the elbows going back to last year with Felix and I would say the Os are a lock to get to the WS and would have a great chance to win it all. I haven't seen this many injuries from a teams top guys in such a short amount of time in maybe.....forever. I am starting to wonder if it is something the Os are doing as far as their training.   Trying to obtain too much spin, revs, and velocity. I am a big Colts fan and for years we have complained about all of the knee blowouts and hammy injuries they get when playing at home.  Finally the Colts realized that it might be turf related from their home field and replaced it this past spring.    
    • I've been a fan for a long time too but mostly remember a lot of near misses, not tailspin collapses. 2005 comes to mind (Raffygate, Sammy Sosa, Lee Mazzilli, et al.)... what other seasons are you thinking of, to create scar tissue?
    • I really like Kremer.  Seems like a good guy and a solid arm. But he is not going to be the guy to get you into the playoffs and he especially won't be a guy between a make or break WS championship. 
    • We can hope he’s back to being his #5 self, but he’ll now be a #3, and let’s all x the fingers
    • The 5 game losing streak is a 5 game losing streak.  I am not too concerned about that unless it turns into something bigger. Every team goes through it.  What I am concerned about is losing 3 starters and 2 great relievers since last August with not a lot to replace them other than Burnes.  And they won't even back for most of next year...if at all. Add in the fact that Burnes is more than likely leaving after this year?  Our cupboard pitching wise is pretty bare as it looks right now. So imo you absolutely need to trade some of your AA and AAA players to get pitching help now and for next year.  This team is too good to waste years on players like GH and AR. 
    • Trading Drew Rom for Flaherty was not a big swing. It was trading a maybe prospect for a “hope he’s ok” guy with three months before FA. I am increasingly convinced Mike won’t make any bigger move this season, and what we have is basically what we will have.
