With Marte on the DL...Wow, that's inexcusable. With Marte on the DL, I completely forgot about him.<br /><br />My take is: where I say "But I'll play him now. You need a third baseman." about Peralta, I will now look to move Peralta to any interested party and replace him with Marte.<br /><br />For the record, I think Marte isn't any good: he hits one kind of pitch well (fastball in) and nothing else, so unless that changes, he's a schmoe. But yeah, The Treatise says you need to look at him.<br /><br />Good catch, Narm!Steve Buffumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02278063613609933846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5628224136320348735.post-21557027109188872872010-05-21T12:53:41.805-05:002010-05-21T12:53:41.805-05:00By the very nature of the idea - shouldn't Mar...By the very nature of the idea - shouldn't Marte get more consideration? He is a guy who has never really been given CONSISTENT time to figure it out. He is playing well in limited time this year. Should he be the #1 option at 3B until Chizz is ready?<br /><br />Love to hear your take on Marte.Narmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14295289919932393072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5628224136320348735.post-85026912622918754232010-05-21T09:59:52.692-05:002010-05-21T09:59:52.692-05:00Well said Steve.

I'm glad you watch the Indians each day as closely as you do...it spares me the pain of having to do that for myself, since I can just come here and read about the horror rather than living through it...!Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13865053168201265297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5628224136320348735.post-11655838926579426122010-05-19T10:22:43.359-05:002010-05-19T10:22:43.359-05:00Fantastic...just fantastic.

That's where the commitment starts. Also, note that the two solid teams in the division, Detroit and Minnesota, have A-List managers (another function of the owner/GM brain trust),<br /><br />That said, a good, frank look at the current mess. Philosophically thinking, you gotta have a plan, man. You do. Do they? But what do I know? I'm a Mets fan.<br /><br />Finally, I can TOO say "Gork."<br />Gork, gork, gork!<br />I'll be watchin' you...<br /><br />Great writing!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14091193522504107924noreply@blogger.com
