Michael A Taylor

This is getting ridiculous. Taylor has lost all ability to hit a baseball. He’s a good guy, but it’s time to cut him once and for all. He might cover some ground in CF, but that’s not enough to justify a roster spot.

Guess it's hard to complain about Eaton when he OPS's almost .900 in June

They ran on his arm 3 times tonight   ....   and made it.

I was surprised. His defense is one thing you can rely on. Those throws were awful.

If he ain't got that, he's wastin' time.

I've been saying this for awhile.  We have given him so many chances over the years to be the guy, and he hasn't taken advantage of it.  His defense is massively overrated and I got slammed a couple weeks ago for suggesting Parra was comparable to MAT in CF.   Last night was rough, but Friday night, MAT broke back on the final play of the game that Robles had to come racing in to catch.  Meanwhile, earlier this week, Parra charges a ball, barehands it, and guns out Bryce at 3rd.

You're still an idiot for thinking Parra is anywhere near Taylor defensively in CF.

You're still an idiot for thinking Eaton can't be in CF with Parra in RF.  Parra has played very well in RF

Eaton is worse at CF than Parra.

Now you want broken Eaton in CF? Because a -14 DRS in over 3200 innings in CF isnt enough of a sample size?

Parra is a bench player. He doesnt hit well enough to start un the corners and isnt athletic enough to be an everyday CFer.

Let's face it -- Parra was just a quick injection of adrelanine.  If the Nats lose today (which is likely), I say play Taylor everyday in CF or RF, hoping against hope that his market value will increase before the trading deadline.

Slateman must not have seen what all of us did last night - an incompetent MAT in CF who seemed lost and helped us do the same

[aspenbubba]

MAT should suffer the same ignominious fate as the others that were sent down today.
