And Reynolds plays 3rd...

Haha, I'll stop embarassing myself.

Too many negatives in your sentence.

I'm just saying while he can clearly beat the crap out of the ball in a fastball league, his level of play on the bases would disappoint you.

Quote from: Sharp on June 02, 2011, 10:53:05 pm

Will it help him become less disinterested to continue playing in a league well below his hitting ability?

I doubt he could hit .250 at this level right now.

I don't want him up in the majors for awhile. But I do think a move to high A is warranted.

As far as his level of play on the bases, I've seen him myself. I do think he needs a ton of seasoning. But I don't think it's anything he needs to be in Low A for.

I agree. I think we'll hear about his being promoted to Potomac by the end of this month.

Frankly, it might be a kick in the crotch for him to skip high A and see if he can touch a AA curve ball. He needs seasoning, but he acted like he need a little humility, too.

Hey didnt the D-backs use to have a slick fielding 1st baseman....name escapes me

First name was Adam I think? No not Dunn

Cardinals reference.

Drink.

Morse 3-for-3

GburgNatsFan · « **Reply #284 on:** June 02, 2011, 10:59:31 pm »

Morse is 3/3?

Perhaps he should look at the career of JD Drew for motivation. I too would like to see him go 0 for 20 facing better pitching at AA for a healthy serving of humble pie.

Call me crazy, but we do have a lot of really good players. If they would all show up at the same time, we're totally .500.

Morse is not human

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #289 on:** June 02, 2011, 10:59:49 pm »

Morse

come on, we need more runs

APBA Baseball · « **Reply #290 on:** June 02, 2011, 10:59:56 pm »

not getting any add-on runs could possibly come back to hurt us, no?

a 2-run blast here would be great!

GburgNatsFan · « **Reply #291 on:** June 02, 2011, 11:00:40 pm »

It's so hard to remember that he's just 18.

Plus they're all playing out of position.

the only slick fielding 1B for Dbacks that I can think of was mark grace

Stay hot, kid.

I love this team so much at times, haha.

wasn't there a time, earlier in the year, when Morse was the board whipping boy?

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #298 on:** June 02, 2011, 11:02:48 pm »

Great swing Danny

10 hits through 4.1 IP.

Ray Knight

over Danny

I was up there tonight and watched him get picked off at first - with a right-hander on the mound - twice. In his first two at bats. Well, one pick-off, one run-down when he was flat caught off first.

Yeah, but my point is - as we just saw - guys who are veterans get picked off also.

My point is that they never "learn" that sh-t.
