The second base fiasco.
Kennedy isn’t cutting it. Besides, he almost killed our superstar at first base. That alone puts him on a ticket out of town. Adam Kennedy doesn’t have any extra base hits so there is NO power in his bat. The defense is erratic. Cut our losses and let him go.
Aaron Miles is a player I like. But i like him for his ability to fill in and play from time to time. I don’t sense he is an everyday player. So with Miles, retain him to sub.
Hoffpauir is in the Triple A and most likely doesn’t have the experience or ability to sustain a season in the BIGS. He will someday be able to everyday it.
So what do we do?
Trade. But for whom? Who do we give up? I am not here to play the gme I did in grade school and junior high where I name a player and we make a trade. I am not privvy to inside facts to know if a deal can be made.
Who do I want to see us get? Somehow my choices are Brian Roberts, Eric Patterson or Dan Uggla.
Roberts makes the most sense for us but the payment may be too high. Patterson is a Cub so that deal is probably nil. Uggla’s bigget rap is he K’s too much.
Got a second base player you want? Let me know.
