The Bring up Taylor Green Thread

[fondybrewfan]

My personal inclination has always been that DM is trying as hard as he can to trade for a legitimate SS or 3B right now. If for some reason he can't get someone by the 7/31 trading deadline they will probably at least consider bringing up Green. Right now I think their view is that they don't want to bring him up and throw him to the wolves unless they absolutely have to. I also have to imagine he is a lock to be a September call up.

 

Of course we could make a pretty good argument that they have to bring up Green now.

[MillerBombers]

If putting up numbers in AAA meant instant success at the major league level, rumors would be rampant about teams wanting to pick up 35 year old Cody Ransom, who can play 3B and SS and currently has a 1.055 OPS for Reno and guys like Lyle Mouton would have been major league All Stars.

 

Green's played just 85 games at AAA, and has never played in the majors. The thought that "he has nothing to prove at AAA" is wishful thinking for a guy who was slowed by injuries the previous two seasons. He needs to prove he can put up numbers over a full season at AAA.

 

I'm sure the Brewers are well aware of Green and that Melvin has poured over reports from his scouts and Don Money, who knows a thing or two about playing 3B. But it's obvious they don't think it's smart to stick him in the middle of a heated pennant race.

I don't think anyone is trying to say he has nothing to prove at AAA. I used this analogy in the Hadley/Bartlett thread...

 

I would

like to compare it to you have $1. You can risk that dollar and either

receive $50 (Green plays well overall), $10 (Green improves defense at

third but hits similar to McGehee) or $0 (Green falters). Who wouldn't

take that opportunity, you are out a dollar at the worst.

 

McGehee has been awful and isn't even a platoon option with his splits vs. lefties. Melvin just seems stubborn to me when it comes to admitting mistakes (just my opinion). I fail to see what the huge issue is being stuck in the middle of a pennant race and bringing up Green. If you replace awful with at the worst case awful you still have awful.
