That's who I was thinking. Only batting .171 for Columbus this year. Power is still there, but I just can't see him cracking the MLB roster anytime soon.
Isn't the 40 man at 39 right now?
I'm going the opposite way. We will lose Kipnis, then Brantley, then Moss to injury on our way to winning 99 games and get eliminated in the World SeriesDigging this rotation. If they're for real this team may be set up long term.
most importantly, I hate him.
Francona came out the other day and said Lindor isn't ready, and followed that up with 'he's just not'
So this isn't a financial decision? What the hell is it then?
Even if Lindor isn't 'ready', how the hell is Ramirez ready? The bar is so unbelievably low I honestly think LeBron would be better at shortstop just because he has legendary athleticism. Ramirez is batting one eighty. He is miserable in the field, and most importantly, I hate him. Also he is ONE year older than Lindor, and he played in the bigs last year.
Seriously cut the shit and bring him up. There is zero BASEBALL reason not to.
So because Ramirez isn't ready got rush Lindor? That is pretty asinine. Lindor hasn't hit in Columbus- he has been good the last week- and his defense has been inconsistent. I'm not sure why fans want a young guy who hasn't been consistent at AAA to be brought up and expected to be consistent at the big league level. I don't think any of you remember Brandon Phillips, who was similarly rushed, picked up bad habits, was atrocious at the big league level and never recovered here. I don't want to see another situation like that. If that means making Lindor stay in AAA for-*gasp*- several months to maybe even a while season, then so be it. If they need a SS them go trade for a stop gap.Francona came out the other day and said Lindor isn't ready, and followed that up with 'he's just not'
