OF moving forward / Wallace
« on: July 31, 2011, 12:01:34 pm »
With JD Martinez getting called up, he has to play pretty much every day right?  If he is playing then there is only one spot for Carlos, 1B.

Mills doesn't seem willing to sit Carlos, so what do you do with Wallace?  Considering his sturggles is it time to send him to AAA to try and work things out?

He'll be a FA in 2017...better trade him now.

The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.

Package him with Lyles and throw in a prospect at Tr-City and I'll bet we could get some sucker to bite.

It may make the difference between losing 112 and losing 115.

FWIW - I agreed with your observation.  Oh, and Lee will be gone, it is just a matter of need and want and waivers at this point.  Wallace will be back once he gets regular playing time and gets his head straight again.  Johnson?  I dunno about that one.

Ought to find out what Wallace is made of here, from the Astros trading for 1st baseman to sending him down, I hope the org/coaches have got his attention.

Agreed.  Message sent.  Now it's about message received.
