On Willie Calhoun and pulled ground balls

An analysis of Calhoun's issues, if you're not sick of the situation yet.

Seems crazy not to give him a look.

agree. not impressed with Reks so send him down and give Leody another chance

saw a comment on another site that wondered if the best thing for Leody would be to dominiate AAA all year and come up in September full of confidence.

not the worst idea I've ever heard. he was completely overmatched his last time here.

[DT LUNA]

No, not a bad idea. May be why he is not here now.

 

[Duane1952]

Read today the Yankees have benched Joey. Kind of sad. Can't keep from wondering what happens next for him.

Padres been trying to acquire him for awhile now.

Can't imagine why. They may think removing the shift will help him.

 

[saddles]

He threw a lot of pitches, but not bad for his first start of the year.

If Yu and Joey could come back as a package deal would you take it?

For Willie, Kole and a bag of used pucks hell yeah, and then flip them for some younguns...

neither event would occur for what you listed

For sure. Gallo can't qualify for a KMART blue light special.

Depends on what the cost is, of course. But I wouldn't turn down bringing Yu back just to prevent Joey from coming back.

i wouldn't trade for either or both because it would cost us some combination of prospects that wouldn't make sense

my understanding of the hypothetical was that it was asking which concept took greater priority: wanting Yu to come back or not wanting Joey to come back.

I want Yu back more than I don't want Joey back.

I would like Yu back but even he has limits.

Yeah, just a fun exercise.
