still when gaudet comes up you know in all likelihood one of three things will happen
1. pop out
2. strike out
3. homerun

it was a great play, but it still doesn't mean he's totally back

Watkins doesnt deserve a chance after being the hero with a walkoff double?


He doesn't deserve more of a chance than any of the 9 guys that started tonight... maybe over Guadet... MAYBE.

Im not saying he is back, but Im just saying lets see if he is. He is a great leadoff hitter and I would love to have him back if he really is back.

Exactly... he came in to run and ended up batting. But would he be 100% playing an entire game?

Great clutch hit. No. You don't put him in the starting lineup. There is no place right now. And no you don't replace a guy with 19 HRs. Gaudet is your DH....period.

Gaudet was 0-5 at the plate. PM wont change the lineup but I would consider putting Watkins in

Esp in the 8 hole. Gaudet is a weapon. Watkins is a great speed option of bench or to pinch hit for gaudet in bunt situations!

Mainieri spoke at length about Watkins on Channel 9 a moment ago...says Watkins is not 100% to play and do all the things he needs to do in a game. Yes, he got the great hit. No, he can't play a full game.

the only spot you could give him a look at is DH, but frick its a tough time to try and experiment anymore


No, but he's a very viable pinch hitter now.

We don't know how good Watkins will be in a full game situation. His elbow could end up bothering him again.

Its not the time to experiment, IMO. Gaudet has a lot of power we need too, regardless of how much he pops the ball up. This is not exactly a big ballpark...
