Does anyone truly believe that the players that you all are so high on in 2A and 3A will be great next year? Or will they be more like Emmerson is this season.... learning the ropes?
Rookies are almost never great. So no. But at least they will be a lot more fun to watch that Garver, Refsnyder and Ward and will definitely be better than them.

I have very much enjoyed watching Michael Arroyo go about his business this season. He has an exceptional short stroke, in my opinion, and I hope he gets called up soon. Las Montes, not so. I doubt he will be able to hit ~mlb pitching. Alex Liddi could never handle a MLB slider. Greg Hallman the same. So far Laz is disaster waiting to be exposed....just an opinion. ~~~~~````i love Robles as a defender, but the poor soul cannot hit, period.

Laz had a 30% K rate in AA and a 32% K rate in AAA. Not great but Schwarber has a 35% K rate this season and a .888 OPS coincidentally the exact same as Laz has for the Rainiers. Laz will not be Yordan but he will be a good MLB hitter in terms of OPS. And an average RFer unlike what all the parrots and sheep have been yapping DH only since he was signed. I see him as a 3-4 win player until he is 30 yo

I think they both have potential to be great.

I think we could use Arroyo now simply because he exudes confidence at the plate. It's like he can't wait to get up there.
Oh no he would displace our big new impact bat Taylor freaking Ward....
Regardless, its too late now. I like the idea of Arroyo and Montes both being called up. At least if there's an injury, you've got depth in the minors in pitching and hitting ready to go.

I happen to like Taylor Ward. Do I think he's the missing piece to getting us over the hump, no I do not. We honestly already have those pieces on this team. Getting Julio, Cal, and Naylor going is a must, or this squad ain't doing jack in the Post season, if there even is one.

Tonight's game against Detroit was a little salty. Its exactly what this team needed. Who cares if nobody likes us, Fuck'em.

So, where are you going to put them? Are you keeping Randy and Ward or letting them walk?

Why did you say if there even is one. The lockout out would be after the post season...

Keeping them? LOL Yeah I'm am sure the M's will out bid the 29 other teams for Randy and why would you want a 33 yo noodle bat blocking Laz???

Weird post Bill.

Weird post Bill.
Ward hit 37 last year, so he may have just had a bad season and could be at that level again. And with the pending lockout and possibility of salary restrictions, I can see them waiting to sign Randy....just remember he is 4.0 WAR player for each of the last 3 seasons in our ballpark ... you and others complain constantly about young players not being great immediately. Look at how Laz has struggled when he gets to a new level, he will struggle a lot, like his 1st 800-1000 AB's, in the beginning of his ML career. Meaning no disrespect, but when they were handing out patience, you said, " I am not sick, where are the hot blondes?" Bringing essentially 3 rookies onto the team, Colt will have more exp, is going to be tough on the fans....unless they talk to Seth first, and he will lower their expectations in less than 2 minutes.
