BigGuy fail!

But then he deleted it

you should have quoted it then! YOU FAILED!

[vladdy#27]

second of all: this would be a lot better than what were getting from "fat alberto" just saying

Callaspo has been bad over the last month or so

you should have quoted it then! YOU FAILED!

I was going to merge it to the game thread, but he deleted before I could

i don't want your excuse mike scioscia!

also, as far as callaspo is concerned,he has one more year before free agency, maybe we can trade him to a team that needs help at 3rd (most of them) for bull pen help, either on waivers or in the off season, then call up jimenez and let him hold it down until cowart is ready!

I dont think we can trade Callaspo. We are likely going to let Izturis walk, so if we traded Callaspo that would leave us with only Romine to backup the infield. I do think that Jimenez will get every chance to earn a starting spot during spring training next season. If he does get the starting spot he is going to have to run away with it because Cowart will likely be knocking on the door in Double-A. Whether it is Jimenez/Callaspo that gets the spot both are going to need to perform, Cowart could be ready by June/July.

that would be dumb to let macier walk, we need a back up SS much more than we need callaspo, and once again, most teams can use help at 3b, i guess we will see how diptio/scioscia/moreno feel come this off season, and as far as cowert is concerned, i think he can get a Sept. call up next year, but he is probably 2-3 years from being MLB ready, honestly, which would be plenty of time for Jimenez to hold down the spot with good defense and hopefully some improved plate discipline, lol, i mean if trumbo can learn it why can't Jimenez?

[ciaban]

also, who do you think gets sept. call-ups when the roster expands to 40? i mean 1 is obviously richards, who will be with the team for the full month of sept.

Romine can be our backup SS (he can also play 2B/3B) he is also going to be A LOT cheaper than Izturis. Most teams can use help at 3B and so can we, what happens if Jimenez comes up and has a .240 OBP over the first 2 months of the season?

Jimenez has even worse patience than Trumbo did in the minors

(Jimenez/Trumbo)

A 6.0% (22)/6.6% (21)
A+ 3.8% (22)/5.9% (22)
AA 5.0% (23)6.4% (23)
AAA 4.4% (24)/9.7% (24)

The good thing is that he doesnt strikeout as much

A 14.7%/19.0%
A+ 12.5%/15.3%
AA 13.3%/17.2%
AAA 12.7%/21.2%

Well guys that are already on the 40-Man Roster, that arent with the big league club

Very Likely

Garrett Richards
Bobby Cassevah
Brad Mills
Kole Calhoun
Hank Conger

Maybe

Barry Enright
John Hester
Luis Jimenez

Need to be added to the 40, but could/should get called up

Steven Geltz (Likely)
Caleb Graham (Lesser Likely)
Jeremy Berg (Lesserer Likely)

he lack of strike outs is a relief, and if he is hitting for a decent avg, like .240-.270 his obp can be around .300

[Halo4life]

you comparing jim to trumbo. does have have pop anywere close to his?

[vladdy#27]

you comparing jim to trumbo. does have have pop anywere close to his?

No not at all.


Jimenez does have some pop, but unless some of those doubles start turning into HR he probably wont see 30 HR in a season. I see him hitting around 15 HR with 35 2B in his first couple seasons in the big leagues. In his prime 20-25 HR with 40+ doubles. That is assuming he lives up to his potential.

[ciaban]

you comparing jim to trumbo. does have have pop anywere close to his?

no no, nobody is saying he will be like trumbo, were just comparing their walk rates, because neither has walked much in the minors, yeah at his best he could have a year like trumbo's rookie year, but, you know with a plus glove at third

[Halo4life]

what was the highest trumbo was ranked as prospect?
