Post a Comment*Better late than never. Oh, no, wait! Why bother? Huge waste of money. Picking up a journeyman utility guy with no minor league options and no real space for him on the roster, only to see him miss out 99% of the season. This was not one of Krivsky's good moves. It seemed more like the kind of thing Jimmy Boy would have done
Hindsight is always crystal clear. The way Gil played in spring training made the move look like a good one. It sure looked like he would help help the club the way Keppinger did in Gil's absence. No way you can say picking him up was a mistake because there was no way anyone could have predicted that he would suffer a season ending injury in Spring camp.
Journeyman? Gil is 25....

Gil help the club the way Keppinger did? Keppinger is a career .330 hitter in the minors. Gil couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat in the Pacific.
Keppinger > Gonzalez > Gil >>>>> Machado
Jerry Gil and Alex Gonzalez do not deserve a spot on this team.
Jeff Keppinger has hit over .340 in almost 250 AB's. He led the minors with a .370 average before he was called up. His defense, while not spectacular, has been solid. He's by far the smartest player (baseball wise) on this team. He should be the starting SS.
