When is the time right for Reimold?

[Kevin Lomax]

I was curious what others thought when it comes to seeing Nolan in Baltimore again.

Is there a certain threshold he needs to pass? For instance if he has an OPS of x over the last x games, bring him up?

Is it just wait until rosters expand?

Do we plan on leaving him down for the rest of the year unless he really goes on an amazing streak?

For reference.

Please, opine.

When he is going to see AB's every day with the big club.

How has his defense looked at first base?

[Birds of B'more]

His recent BB/K numbers are interesting. Is he intentionally trying to take a more patient approach at the plate, or is it just a small sample anomaly?

Assuming no major injuries to the OFs or Wiggington, Reimold should stay at AAA until September. If someone gets hurt/traded, then Reimold can come up but he needs to be playing regularly once he gets here.

That's true. Where would he even play at this point?

I'd say put Patterson on the bench. DH Luke or Reimold. Pie in left.

Maybe getting to .250 would be a start???

Everytime he has a good week these threads start about when should be be up, he's finally healthy, he's back to the Reimold of old, etc. It's time to just let him play and see what he does. He doesn't deserve any at bats over Scott, Patterson, Pie, Jones, Markakis, or Wigginton so I don't see how calling him would be a good idea considering he shouldn't be a starter.

Whether LF or 1B, when he does come up, like Bell, he should play every day so that Showalter has a real chance to evaluate him. I'd like to see that happen now and not wait for rosters to expand in September. I want Buck to see what these two can do against real major league pitchers and not against watered down September rosters.

Disagree. He deserves at bats over Patterson and Wigginton. Those guys won't/shouldn't be on the team next year.

For record, I was starting this thread not as a all those things you said above, more so as a question that would help us quantify statistically or in some other way, when the time was right? I wasn't saying now is the time. I was asking when is it appropriate. When has he finally gotten healthy, back to the old Reimold, etc?

I dont know what everyones problem with patterson is...he has the 3rd highest avg on the team and almost 20 sb's. I think he could be a great 4th outfielder next year.

[markdublya]

The SIX doubles so far is a little shocking...

No problem with Patterson. He's done great for us this year. Are we just going to ignore the rest of his career though?

He's not part of the future that's all. Reimold, though time is running out, still has a chance to be. Or at the very least could up his value in a trade.

[clarence]

I wouldn't see him again until spring training with the big club. Let him go to Florida after Norfolk ends to work on his glove at first and tell him we will see him healthy (physically and mentally) in late February.

[Arthur_Bryant]

If it's a question of whether Reimold or Patterson gets playing time, Reimold should win every time. I can't believe it is even a issue.

Getting Reimold straightened out should be one of this team's top priorities. If you have to sit Patterson to do that, you do it. He is Corey Patterson, for crying out loud.
