Spring Training 2010

[jstraw]

I don't want Colvin to break camp with the team. But I think Lou has decided he is. I think it could wait till one of the OFers pulls a butt muscle.

[ruby23]

Colvin's never gonna be anything more than a 4th or 5th OFer anyway. If he's the guy Lou wants and he's been doing better than Fuld, I see nothing wrong with him breaking camp with the team. Might as well see if he can do anything as the spare piece he's destined to be.

[jstraw]

I want him to be up and I think he would be, the first time an OFer goes on the DL. I just think he'll get more ABs in AAA till that day comes. I just think it would be better if he starts the year in the minors.

I doubt it really makes a difference.

Ruby, I know you are positive he will be a 4th or 5th OFer...but what if he goes to AAA and rakes? We don't have room for him in our OF, it sure seems like he would make a nice trading piece to bring in something at the deadline or maybe earlier.

Like I said, I know you are positive he won't amount to anything..but there is always that .005% chance that you could possibly be wrong and not actually have a clue about what kind of player Colvin will be.

That's my thinking as well. At the same time, Fuld is so one-dimensional, and he does nothing for me. I'd rather keep a guy like Colvin who possibly could provide some offense and isn't bad defensively either and see if he can hit ML pitching. You send him down to AAA, and I doubt it does much for his development at this stage of his career.

He seems like he'd very little value as a trading piece either way. Also, Fuld sucks something fierce.

Len <i>in</i> Bob? I don't think I'm prepared to watch that.

Funny... I always saw Len as the bottom and Bob as the top.

[Jody]

You would think that, but you would also be wrong.

I imagine Len doing a play-by-play, as Bob "whirleybirds" it in there.
