Around SBN: Ray Allen Fighting Age, Injury And His New Role

Game 86, Thread 2: Jay is broken, Johnny probably is too


Johnny Cueto's woes continue.  He needed 40 pitches to get through the first inning and has given up four runs through 3.  The Reds offense is doing about as well as you'd expect against Johan Santana.  But the bad news is that Jay Bruce fractured his wrist attempting to catch a ball in the first.  A nasty season gets worse...

He’s been en fuego, while Stubbs has struggled.

Also, I think Heisey is more what the Reds need. He’s got more power than Stubbs, who is a CFer type, not a corner OFer type.

They would be really rushing Heisey, since he was just called up to AAA. OTOH, I think he’s a less valued prospect than Stubbs, so they may be more willing to risk his development than with Stubbs.

Rosales

Is playing SS down in Louisville. They could put him in at SS (shudder) and Cherry in RF.

The advantage is that Rosales is already on the 40-man, so no roster move would have to be made.

Stubbs or Heisey helps the major league team more then Rosales does right now

If they move Jay directly to the 60-day, it won’t be a problem, and they have Gonzo, Richar, and Lincoln that they could transfer to the 60 if necessary. And Bill Bray. They’re going to start Stubbs’ clock sometime this season, might as well be now.

I would imagine

they are waiting to see what the verdict is on Bruce. The 60-day DL is usually used for players who are expected to be out the rest of the year. If there’s a chance he can be back earlier than 60 days, they won’t put him on the 60-day DL.

The Reds might not want to start the clocks of Stubbs or Heisey, if they are going to amount to anything, and if they’ve given up on this season. I don’t think either one is on the roster yet.

If not, they should trade for an outfielder. Stubbs has been struggling and has no power anyway. Heisey was just called up from AA. Time’s running out; they can’t afford to experiment if they’re serious about winning.

They won’t wait for the CF job to open up before bringing Stubbs up. That would keep him in AAA until 2011, which is entirely unrealistic. Stubbs is coming up sometime this year, why not now?

But there’s a reason why they don’t bring up “a lot of young guys” right now. That’s what I was addressing, not the issue of Stubbs in particular.

All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?

by BubbaFan on Jul 11, 2009 10:48 PM EDT up reply actions  

Yeah

While it’s not the answer in every situation, bringing up a minor leaguer is the best option here. Take Stubbs or Heisey, ease him in with the other 4 outfielders, see what happens. Both of them can play all 3 positions well, so the versatility is there.

by BK on Jul 11, 2009 10:56 PM EDT up reply actions  

I'm glad I don't have to make the decision

Because I think it’s a tough one. If we had another Jay Bruce down in Louisville, it would be different…but we don’t.

On the one hand, Stubbs has been marinating in AAA longer. He’s considered a better prospect. But he’s projected as a CFer, and is showing no power in AAA. And he really had a gawd-awful June, which suggests that maybe he’s not ready.

Heisey has been tearing it up all season, and shows a lot more power than Stubbs. But he’s only been in AAA for a couple of weeks. He also would not have to be added to the 40-man until next year, if I recall correctly. He’s not rated quite as highly as Stubbs, but that might actually help his case. There might be less concern about hurting his development.

I think I’m leaning more towards Heisey. But I’m afraid whoever is called up will end up riding pine, while Dickerson and Gomes play corner OFer. If they do call up Heisey or Stubbs, Dusty must be ordered to play them every day.

And I would not be shocked if they call up Rosales tonight, so they can give it more thought over the All-Star break.

All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named Bubba?

by BubbaFan on Jul 11, 2009 11:10 PM EDT up reply actions  

All good points

I think they should go with the hot hand and go with Heisey. As you said, he’s had more success in June than Stubbs, he’s playing in the Futures Game, and he’s continued to rake. The nice thing about this, is that they have 4 days to make the decision with the break. They can scout the Bats tomorrow night and talk with Rick Sweet and make the right call.

Bruce can start from scratch now. Maybe he’ll lose the bad habits he’s obviously been developing over this year.

He sits alone...Reds are not home.

Mets announcers

called out BP for barely bothering to “run” to 1B.

He really did half-ass it there. Didn’t even drop his bat.

Yeah I saw that got home in time for that

I can understand how BP feels but you gotta run that out.

Wow, I'm glad I bought beer on the way home.

Wow. That’s wild. And shitty.

Just got back and see this

a shutout and Bruce is injured. This really stinks. I hope Bruce is alright and gets well soon. I saw the clip. It was awful, I gasped when I saw it. He is a tough dude. That must have hurt terirbly.

At least Votto’s hit streak continued. I know Harang can beat these people tomorrow. He’ll shut them out! If Harang can do that we just need one homerun from Votto to win.

I feel beat down againb, though. I thought we had these Mets in hand.

Re: Cueto. Everyone is talkiing about trading Bronson, but at least he can amange to handle the Mets.

What doeth this comment mean

 
No. I’m being serious.
I have, what 60-year-olds call, Jungle Fever

issed the game what happened Bruce?

Scott Rolen ain’t gonna do it…we going to need about 46-47 more wins in the 2nd half and boy that doesn’t look promising at all.

Just saw this article up on teh Reds page

Votto says he isn’t back to full strength, but geting there. Tonight, I will dream of the power hitting that will occur when he is at 100%! I have to take something positive away from tonight.

I’ve also discovered there is a Ladies’ Night coming up soon.. Unfortunately, there is no Adam Rosales date auction…

And on a lighter note...

Augustana is a freaking amazing band as far as live performances go… Wow!
