Who Do You Bump?
Edgy MD Jul 24 2015 08:20 PM |
Which two players get to Johnson and Uribe take the largest part of their playing time from?

Will Conforto's stay be short-lived?

Muno (Uribe does when he does, only better) and Mayberry. (lefty/ righty, I don't care. Clemenza, I don't want to see him around here again, capisce?)

Muno for sure, and probably Campbell.

It may well be. Me, I'm a little Muffweary. And Duda, of course, is barely hitting anything.
I'm not sure you read my question. (You too, FK.) I asked which two players they'll take the bulk of their playing time from. And you chose two players who play once a week. Those two may get knocked off the roster, but I'm asking which two will get knocked out of the lineup.

He made contact every time up. We need contact. Give him a weeks look/see.

The only one I can get behind unseating right now is Flores.
|
Edgy MD Jul 24 2015 08:38 PM Re: Who Do You Do Bump? |
Perfectly viable candidate. But we need two.
|
Frayed Knot Jul 24 2015 08:38 PM Re: Who Do You Do Bump? |
Flores deserves to sit more than Tejada right now.

Uribe to take Campbell's spots and Johnson to reduce Kirk's playing time.
|
Edgy MD Jul 24 2015 08:46 PM Re: Who Do You Do Bump? |
Wow. Really?

Yep, the "bulk" works for me, and five times is really bulky. Later

Didn't want to see Muffy traded earlier in the season but if he can get us what we need then adios muchacho. I figure it's just Danny to 2nd and hold.

As difficult as it's been watching Campbell hit of late, it's been excruciating watching Murph's approach in the last few weeks, grounding out repeatedly in favorable counts (including 3-1 and 3-2 off-plate pitches) instead of taking, in one- and two-run ballgames where every baserunner matters. He's never been a big walk guy, but now it's like he absolutely refuses to take what the pitcher is all-too-willing to give him. Give me Uribe or Johnson instead of both of those two; at least when they're taking ill-advised swings, they're often swinging for the fences or gaps.

It do. Later

I think we should be looking to move Muffy -- in a trade -- but if only a matter of moving positions you might want to try him at first base.

It's been a while since they've had a guy quite as old school as Juan Uribe. Lumpy ass. Gooey midsection. Way too much tobacco. And little goatee to catch the juice in. Not pretty on hi-def, but whatever.

Whom do you bump?!?!?!

Indeed. Good work.
Not sure that's how I've played it, but I can't argue with this. At least for now.

I've been trying to be more polite/forgiving about that sort of thing. But, yeah, it was killing me. The results of this trade so far, though? Not killing me, so much. Bump everyone a little bit, and give the at-bats to these two scrappy old dudes.

Sorry, I had Bo Diddley in my head.

They'll certainly be sharing time but it doesn't have to be strictly L/R platoon, since neither Johnson nor Uribe have much of a platoon differential. It may depend more on matchups and on whose hot. Nieuhy and Legares, on the other hand, have significant differentials (as do Murphy and Duda) so that may be a more traditional platoon, at least until Captain Kirk cools off.

Sure, nothing's permanent. I'm not even sure if this arrangement exists even temporarily. Just speculating.
