    Can't argue with any of that. I do think if the choice is jace or Ruiz as lh bench bat in Atlanta right now, I want Jace. I think Ruiz has some potential, but sitting him every day does him no favor

    Peterson is hitting ok but no power. That injury can sap power. Concerning....if he's going to be our LF when Freddie is 3B and Kemp is 1B then he'll need to slug more than 400.

    At this point, his most likely level in the majors is bullpen piece. He can ditch the change and focus on his other pitches. Still a small chance he could develop as a starter.

    Can't imagine Jace gets another shot here unless Camargo or Dat Dude goes down at this point. Sucks for Jace, but that description is pretty much him in a nutshell IMO.
    Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...

    Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?

    I distinctly remember calling him a guy that could fill in at 2B while he was cheap, but would be a non-tender candidate the moment he hit Abr1.

    Abies since coming off the DL: .298/.375/.561 (.936 OPS)

    That'll do.

    I do remember that. #JaceonBase

    I still think we won that trade. But I'm starting to feel alone on Fried island.
