I fucking hate that this guy is still on the team and that we are forced to watch him get chance after chance season after season.
Is BB really concerned that someone would be stealing our "diamond in the rough"? We have absolutely no better prospects in the farm system? I know his D is above average, but he's GG winner.
He got a sac fly last night.
I hate that someone like Norris, Jaso, Callaspo, or Moss sits for Barton to play but more than that I just don't even want him on the roster. Fuld is looking good for the Twins and is a solid player and we stuck Vogt down in AAA after he had a monster spring.
Norris is going so well BoMel needs to ride him until he's no longer forcing himself into the lineup every day, and if Norris is just this good now he needs to be an everyday player.
Morales would be a good fit IMO. That, or move Norris over to 1st and platoon him with Moss. Though Norris' bat might be too good for a platoon role.
Bump for Barton costing us the first game of the double header, if he's only there for defense he has to make that play in the 10th inning. The fans were booing when he got up to bat in the bottom half of the inning of course he popped out.
RaiderZar I didn't mean Alberto needs to play at first over Moss I just mean somehow someway if Barton is in the lineup a legit major leaguer sits, so those are basically wasted plate appearances it's like letting the starting pitcher hit instead of using a DH having to let Barton get his at bats.
What's up with Stretch Freiman? Anyway, soon BB needs to upgrade at 1B & get another, legit starter. Millone is complete garbage. No confidence & no control. Maybe Pomeranz will move into a SP role.
Nate isn't doing great in AAA I think he's hitting in the .230's I still believe he'd do well in a platoon like last season though. Peterson is having a nice year, he plays well at first plus he can play three outfield positions, with Coco hurting his neck it makes sense to me for him to come up as insurance and Barton to get sent out.
I feel like Pomeranz deserves a shot and the pressure is on Milone to show he's worthy of staying in the rotation on his next start, probably him or Straliy can be moved into the pen for Pomeranz.
Milone can be a good back of the rotation starter, but Straily has a much better ceiling than Milone. I'd much rather see him in the rotation.
Milone was dealing tonight, Straily sent down to the Rivercats but the A's keep their sub .150 hitting first baseman.
Morales would be a good fit IMO. That, or move Norris over to 1st and platoon him with Moss. Though Norris' bat might be too good for a platoon role.
