You fail

It’s “Whoo Hoo!”

Do not think that what is hard for you to master is humanly impossible; but if a thing is humanly possible, consider it to be within your reach.

They demoted GOMES for Zobrist?

Finally the RH power hitter we crave

.486 slg at the ML level this year

Ah, I see

RJ hates the working man

Nope, just you.

If anyone else posted it I would’ve bumped it. Muwahhahaha.

Good news!

Now I don’t have to see Aybar playing SS tonight. This seems to mean that when Barty is ready to play Zobrist will go back down and Rocco will come up.

Uh....Rocco must be pissed

Failed sv. vs. will

He was, but he pulled his hamstring after he got tired climbing the stairs to Friedman’s office.

by kericr on Aug 5, 2008 3:18 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Yeah, he's getting a raw deal.

The team should be forced to play him even though his health is a huge concern and he hasn’t faced MLB pitching in almost 2 years.

by Top Gun Numba 1 on Aug 5, 2008 3:18 PM EDT to parent up   1 recs

They don't have much flexibility right now

Even though CC and Bart are hurt, they arent hurt badly enough to force a DL trip meaning they don’t have too many viable options. I suppose if they wanted to get sneaky they could option Garza down between starts, but even this could come back to bite them in the ass in the future.

by GomesSweetGomes on Aug 5, 2008 3:30 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

In all seriousness

I hope Gomes gets the regular playing time he needs in AAA so he can come back up next month, be hot into the playoffs, and serve as a valuable trade chip in the offseason.

by kericr on Aug 5, 2008 3:29 PM EDT   0 recs

might not be trade value

but some confidence could add to pinch-hitting value in Sept.

by TallMatt on Aug 5, 2008 3:33 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Gomes has this rediculous pattern

Get hot in the minors. Get called up. Stay hot for a little bit in the majors. Become a liability on defense. Lose playing time. Get freezing cold. Go back to the minors.

Wash, rinse, repeat.

You didn't even use one stat

but oddly you’re right

by Sandy Kazmir on Aug 5, 2008 3:43 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I think RJ had gone over the stats earlier in the year to show that Gomes stays productive offensively with playing time in the field

Which is why I think he could get moved in the offseason if he manages to have a good showing in September. There has to be a team out there who needs offense bad enough to overlook Gomes’ defeciencies in the field and is willing to give him everyday playing time.

by kericr on Aug 5, 2008 3:49 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I've always been a fan of the hustler.

He is definitely a guy you root for regardless of results, hopefully he can get the AB’s he needs, and maybe stop swinging for the 600 footers all the time.

Yes

If you have options in a given year, there is no limit on how many times that option can be exercised. Its not based on the # of times sent down

by GomesSweetGomes on Aug 5, 2008 3:31 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Yeah

At the same time if he’s been optioned before this year, its game on. I think its his last year…I know its Gomes’

by GomesSweetGomes on Aug 5, 2008 3:36 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Actually, I think he has one more:

Contract purchased 7/06 to be called up, stayed up all year.
07 optioned
08 optioned

by R.J. Anderson on Aug 5, 2008 3:39 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Im pretty sure I brought this up 2 nights ago when Barty first went down

can I call late on the FO?

Good move though, sucks for Zo because he will only be here a couple days and than Rocco will get activated (when Barty is ready) but having Aybar at SS just sucks. One thing I doubt they will do but I wouldnt mind is seeing them just cut Aybar and keep Zobrist up. Aybar may or may not clear waivers.

by Dbullsfan on Aug 5, 2008 3:42 PM EDT   0 recs

No

Bartlett will miss the whole series. Aybar can’t handle the position and Longoria doesn’t want to (I wasn’t too thrilled with his comments…He might be awesome but he’s still a rookie).

by GomesSweetGomes on Aug 5, 2008 3:53 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

3B and SS are two way different positions.

CC is far from a rookie, and he bitches about shifting 27 feet to his left.

by Top Gun Numba 1 on Aug 5, 2008 3:54 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I would say if anything

It’s the rookie who should ‘shut up and play’ so to speak. Not that I approve of CC’s handling of his situation either.

by GomesSweetGomes on Aug 5, 2008 4:00 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

The right move

would be to DFA Floyd for Rocco and keep Zobrist up.
He’s almost certainly going to have to be on the playoff roster anyway.

by Vin on Aug 5, 2008 4:02 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Does Gross have options remaining?

by LeftRight on Aug 5, 2008 5:04 PM EDT   0 recs

No

That’s why the Brewers traded him for cheap. They were about to have to DFA him anyway.
