But why do we keep doing this

[Hawk]

Where is Eury going to even play?

[Garmel]

But why do we keep doing this

Fredi probably wants Perez to play LF tonight because KJ will have to play 1B tonight. We've seen enough of having Gomes hit against right handers.

[The Chosen One]

Seems like the only flipping Hart is doing lately is flipping cards to see who gets sent down and who gets called up.

The lineup would actually look pretty solid at least.

Yeah, it would be. I can't wait to see the lineup to see if my speculation is correct.

I hope this is the reasoning. Otherwise, the move to have Castro up only one day looks kind of haphazard since we had emergency coverage at SS (Jace) for yesterday's game if long-neck bottle had gotten hurt.

I'd like it with him in it once Freddie is healthy.

Peterson 2B
Perez LF
Freeman 1B
Maybin CF
Markakis RF
Uribe 3B
AJ C
Simba SS

Indeed. Better to give Perez a chance to show if he's any good than to keep running Gomes or KJ out there.

[WaitingFor2017]

Helping the 2015 Atlanta Braves Win Games = Kiss of Death

Terdoslavich; Game-winning home run = sent down next day
Castro; Clutch opposite field single to send eventual winning run to 3rd with less than 2 out = sent down next day

Chris Johnson? STILL HERE.

eh, I rarely disagree, but I do on Perez. I've seen him plenty of times and he's just not that good of a player. Especially if you want to put him in LF. KJ/Gomes would certainly outperform him unless he learned how to hit a breaking ball in the last few weeks.

[MadduxFanII]

Hmm. Perez's AAA numbers have taken a bit of a plunge since I last checked.

Still, he's young enough, his minor league numbers are good enough and our incumbent LFers are unimpressive enough that I wouldn't mind giving him a month or so to prove himself. KJ's hitting the ball well, but Gomes is at .210/.294/.328. I feel like there's at least a reasonable shot of Perez being able to best those numbers.

The numbers would be fine if Gomes were relegated to simply hitting lefties and KJ vs. righties. Eury is kinda like a few players previously where scouting reports and organizational thoughts of a guy were lower than the opinion us message board posters have.

Why move a good OBP guy behind our best hitter for a low OBP hitter that isnt even that much faster. Dont fix what isnt broken.

Bingo.......hopefully

[jpx7]

We've seen enough of having Gomes hit against right handers or playing at all in the field.

Fixed.

Well if we can't have dramatic wins we might as well get some comedy.
