Eddie sucked for the Indians and was traded away for literally nothing. We know who he is and he gets hot for a bit and it happened to be in the playoffs for the Braves. So what? If it wasn’t for injuries, Royce and Larnach would be playing in the outfield right now. Kepler would have been traded at the deadline for a AA pitcher and life would move on.

Ian Hamilton didn’t actually do that poorly. Vlad tanked a high inside fastball…tip your hat and move on because it wasn’t necessarily a bad pitch. Outside of that one swing, he looked solid in my opinion. Cano has good stuff and he may have a chance to stick in the pen at some point, but boy does he have some work to do with pitch placement and simply throwing strikes if he wants to have any chance of staying in the majors.

“Didn’t execute when we needed, but we had a plan and we stuck to it” Roco is brilliant

Thanks Seth. I understand what you are saying and definitely agree with you. Although, I am just wondering why he wouldn’t have been moved up instead of Law, Coulombe, and Minaya. He could have gone up, stayed, and pushed one of these 30 year olds back to AAA or to another team. Whatever the case may be, I am looking forward to watching him in a Twins uni!

It’s great to Javier and De La Trinidad continuing to do well! On a side note, what does Ian Hamilton have to do at this point to prove himself and get another shot at the majors? He’s done better than any other pitcher on the Saints this year and somehow still hasn’t gotten called up. I’m not the one calling the shots, but this one doesn’t make any sense to me.

I don’t want to hear anything about Berrios walking two guys to start the 2nd. He ended the day with one ER through 7 giving up one hit and striking out 10! We can’t have a lineup who strands 8 plus runners every single game. We had 8 hits off of one of the best pitchers in the game right now and only scored a run. That’s the real killer.

DFA Shoemaker already. It’s honestly embarrassing to watch him come into the game at this point and just expect it to get out of hand. I’d rather watch any young pitcher, or ideally Ian Hamilton, looking for another chance in the Bigs to earn a spot in the bullpen. Please just start the fire sale and let the fans enjoy watching some prospects develop the rest of the season.
