BJ Backup Plan

[nsacpi]

What does it matter at this point, he can actually help us now by getting us a better draft pick.

Hopefully Fredi will understand this and not use our better players too much.

Yea if BJ is not going to become an MVP candidate and supplant what we're losing, then I could care less what he does offensively. We will suck all the same.

BJ back up plan? A nice movie and a moist towel.

The image sickens me. Oh no wait...what KIND of movie?

A "classy" one. That's what I prefer, anyway.

I was going to go with 'BJ is Plan B' ... but, you know, that's wishful thinking.

See, you can't consider it running jokes into the ground when we're always one upping each other.

I was waiting for this, and as usual, I am not disappointed.

If he doesn't show improvement by the end of May I would bench or designate him for assignment. The Uggla treatment.

Sometimes It's better to just move on

In BJ or the backup plan?

I would run BJ out there everyday for the first two months with hopes that Seitzer can get him back to at least some decent form of production. When June rolls around and if he still stinks and the team is competitive, then you have to either bench or release him and bring up one of Toscano, Cunningham or Almonte. If we stink, you release him and find out if we have anything in the other three. Who knows, if somehow he can get it back together, he would be much easier to trade next winter.

Either way, I'd give him two months to either put up or shut up. I'd rather eat the money than for him to continue to be on this team and suck.

I would hit BJ only vs LHP, and hope that he hits well enough vs them to gain some confidence and start becoming a useful player. And then we can trade him and not have to eat much money.
