Diamondbacks vs. Braves

[Jonas_steven]

Happy Fourth of July! Maybe the dbacks can continue the fireworks from last night!

My guess is likely not...

 

[Jonas_steven]

Great start, Ferris wheel!

If Peralta continues to hit, I can envision a scenario in which we trade Parra in the offseason. For as good as Parra is in the fields, his bat is nothing to write home about.

Start 2015 with Pollock, Inciarte, Trumbo, & Peralta in the outfield.

It is going to be a long night...

I could definitely see that. I am not very impressed with inciarte though. He is a very hot or cold hitter. He is a poor mans parra!

I agree. I love Parra's defense,but he appears to have stagnated on offense. His baserunning is also terrible. If Peralta can sustain this level of play (or at least close to it), then he could be the right fielder of the future.

Inciarte would be the 4th OF. He is perfect for that. And if you look at his numbers(.310) batting leadoff, they are exactly what this team needs at that spot in the lineup.

I love how gibby put the two coldest hitters back to back in the lineup!

 

[Davis_Mike]

Talking shit about Parra will probably lead to him hitting into a DP.

Or should I say a poor mans eaton? Yes, I know he has not been as great as advertised in Chicago but the ceiling is higher. Our outfield was set before towers played trading cards with the sox!

The worst base runner on this team! It seems like he makes a blunder every other week!

 

[Jonas_steven]

Peralta is growing on me though. I never arrive to the park early enough to watch BP but they say the guy has some crazy power.

 

[Davis_Mike]

With CC most likely out for the year, McCarthy better be on his way to NYY soon for a bag of chips.

And it sounds like Tor is looking closely at Hill or Prado. I prefer Hill to be the one to go. We have depth up the middle to replace Hill.

 

[Jonas_steven]

We better drive this run in!

 

[Jonas_steven]

Watching didi bat makes me sick!

 

[Davis_Mike]

Drury/Lamb are both 1+ years away from the majors.

 

[Jonas_steven]

Who takes over for prado at third? Lamb or Drury?

 

[Davis_Mike]

Well, we got the run in on a freebie...

 

[Jonas_steven]

Yeah for poor defense!

 

[Davis_Mike]

Neither yet. Those guys need at least another year in minors. Lamb is in AA & Drury is in A+.
