You're right Doc, of course.
This team has a bright and shining future. I am VERY on board with that.
It's the present that bamboozles/frustrates me.
I'm having a hard time (and I think the other SSI frustratees are, too) seeing how running Miggy and Baggins (Credit: Doc) out there 6 time a week gets us in the vicinity of the future THIS year.
I don't expect us to drag the Rangers down by the haunches and eat their gizzards, but I expect us to look like an organization that thinks they can soon do that.
I have no problem with guys in Jackson (although Walker as a #5 in 4 weeks would be just right.....and probably accelerate his learning curve), that is fine.
You know my position on Carp, but until he hits the ball hard a couple of games in a row, Tacoma is fine.
But what I fear is that Wedge sees Olivo's two hits yesterday as proof positive that he's about to start hitting .240 or .230, something smoking like that. Those two hits were good for another two week's starts. What was the line about Patton? Give him a headline and he was good for another 100 miles? Something like that. Well, so it is with Miggy and Wedge. Can you every think of a situation where he SHOULD be a DH...er DO? Wedge does, all the time.
On the same line, Wedge will not see Liddi's game, or Well's three hits and two doubles in two starts as reason to play them 6 days in a row. At least, that's my bet.
Figgins? I'm ranted out on that one.
I will give Wedge some credit for laying off the double order of Wilhemsen over the last 3 or 4 games. Where it's due, where it's due. I'm a Equal Opportunity ranter.
You want to excite the paying Seattle hordes? Simply declare that the future is now and move on.
I am still turning them on the tube, almost every game. Love to watch Felix and Vargas and Beavan and Seager and Montero and Wlhemsen and, well you get it.....
But my living room has heard a more frequent blue streak lately, when I see the lineup.
