Then Walker would have gone down with a major injury and Paxton would be pitching lights out all season long in NY.

Hawk-Lock":2q5rxcsl said:Makes no sense why Kelenic is continuing to bat lead off. He should have been dropped in the order a while ago. I think Gilbert gets one more shot, if not I'd send him down.
Just when you think the Mariners are done after that Detroit series, they get back to their winning ways.
I still think we finish right around .500 and miss playoffs, but the path to the playoffs is there. The team needs to get an ace, second basemen, a catcher and possibly a third basemen assuming they don't bring Seager back.
He's here like you all wanted so bad and now you want him movedsutz":1dl9vlzu said:I've been saying this for a month. :229031_shrug:balakoth":1dl9vlzu said:Here's an idea... with a 130.... MOVE HIM OUT OF LEAD OFFF>>>>>>>> WTF
Well, I was one of the ones thinking it was a bit soon to call him up. IMO he needed more than a handful of games at AAA, but he's up now. I'm not advocating sending him back to Tacoma just yet, though that might be necessary if the futility contiues. But I have been advocating since about the 3-4th game that he should not be leading off for the good of the team. Haniger was settling in nicely at leadoff and should have stayed there. JK needs to be down at 4 or 5 where he can be protected by hitters around him, not exposed every day by batting first.IndyHawk":1lmslwd6 said:He's here like you all wanted so bad and now you want him movedsutz":1lmslwd6 said:I've been saying this for a month. :229031_shrug:balakoth":1lmslwd6 said:Here's an idea... with a 130....

from the lead spot?I trust the M's staff to have a good reason to keep
him there and if he's great he will figure it out soon enough.
As for the rookie Gilbert he had a nice outing last time so give him his
chances the guy is learning and not everyone is a Kerry Wood off the
bat lol..I like our pitchers and I think they have done a great job in
getting them developed.Dunn,Kikuchi,Sheff all doing better as season
goes along.Marco is coming back soon so hopefully the Pax injury is
a distant memory.
He’s not a lead off hitter at this time. It’s stupid to keep him there.sutz":193amica said:Well, I was one of the ones thinking it was a bit soon to call him up.

Move him to 2nd or 6th and have Mitch lead off.
Glad they dropped Kelenic in the order. Needed to happen.XxXdragonXxX":1zwhgzda said:Kyle Lewis to the IL with a small meniscus tear. Of freaking course...
Haniger was DH on Sunday, off yesterday, and DH again today. Probably some small injury for him as well
That makes for an OF of Fraley, Kelenic, Trammell. We'll see if Trammell can keep hitting like he was in Tacoma.
Kelenic is batting 6th tonight with JP leading off.

I'd like to see Crawford leadoff but Kelenic to 6 sounds about right.
Jerhawk":3for49k3 said:Lot of loud boos when Kelenic just struck out in the 4th inning. Then Trammel hits a HR right after him.
I think it would benefit Kelenic to send him down to Tacoma for a month or so to get back on track. Both mentally and with his swing. Build his confidence back up
