Replace Romine with Jacoby Jones please.

No worries. Same thing would happen when people would get pissy about Avila. There were like 5-10 starting catchers doing worse at the plate but you'd think he was MLB's worst hitting catcher of all time from the comments.

Worst batting seasons by catchers 1973-2011. Sorted by PA.

And you used a Parks and Rec image! That's bonus points automatically.

Ron Swanson is a great name for a light-hitting catcher.

Gates made $18,000 in 1968. Adjusted to present dollars that's $122,000.

JD down. Jacoby's outfield defense looking real nice right about now.

Really! rather have Moya who has been raking in AAA and RF is his natural position.

exactly...plus he is a LH bat with power.

Jacoby would get plenty of at bats here alongside moya. I believe both should be up right now. Aviles should take a hike somewhere, take pelfrey with him.

Aviles 11 for 35 for a .314 avg. in his last 10 games. Brad will sit him any time now. And sure enough he's out tonight! wow words can not spell how I feel.

Can Jones play 3rd, SS, 2B, 1B, LF, CF, RF??? Yes Romine's bat is weak, but defensively, he might be the third best on the team behind Iggy and Kinsler... Give Moya a chance, if he doesn't perform bring up Jones.. You want to see clown shoes at third when the game is on the line??? Not me...

McGehee and Boyd optioned to Toledo for a light hitting utility player and a LOOGY. Only the Tigers can make these types of head scratching moves.

Boyd wasn't going to pitch until Saturday anyways, it was called procedural for him. He's back most likely start of September, and probably McGehee.

 

[gotime909]

I'm fine with the move. Not like McGehee was hitting even hitting his weight. Jones starting at 3rd tonight.

 

[tomdalton22]

Not a good sign. If they called him up, Maybin probably out for a while.

Well he's playing 3rd tonight and don't you think if Maybin was out for awhile they'd put him on the DL and not send someone down to make room?

People don't go on the DL if hurt late in the year. There's no need with expanded rosters.

Holy shit, I hadn't even noticed it was damn near call up time. This season is just flying by.
