When will Chris Taylor Get a call?

ufcwecfan · 07-21-2014, 01:55 PM

Kid went 4-4 last night, batting 325 and scores tons of runs! When will Seattle give this kid a shot? He's much better than Seattle ss there using now!

Lloyd has a hard-on for Brad Miller, and is giving him every opportunity this year. Chris Taylor will probably be a next season addition, or late season this year when they increase roster size.

But let's also consider this is AAA. Let's look at some of his teammates, you may remember some names...

Jesus Montero - .310 Avg, .903 OPS, 13HR 64 RBI
Nick Franklin - .300 Avg, .875 OPS, 9HR 42 RBI

The M's AAA team is always good. Doesn't necessarily mean it is going to translate.

As much as Lloyd has a boner for Miller, he has an anti-boner for Miller and Montero. Both were up here earlier and hardly got any playing time. If he have Montero the same chance he has Miller than we'd all be doing the Montero Mash. And FYI, the Montero Mash is just dancing like an idiot when he hits a HR.

Chris Taylor is a freakin stud!

SyddWasHere · 07-21-2014, 03:04 PM

The Mariners are not going to do anything with Chris Taylor at the major-league level until after July 31. They are leaving him in AAA and letting him keep his value as high as possible, because, if they do call him up and he pulls a Franklin going 1-16, His value will be incredibly low and other teams will get to say, is only good in the minors.

That being said, he is the real deal. The Mariners have probably the best middle infield farm system in the major leagues with him, Franklin, Ketel Marte, Greifer Andrade and Gianfranco Wawoe

I agree whole heartedly. Montero is, right now, our best option at DH on a daily basis. Right hand power hitter that strikes out a lot, better than what we have. Hell, put him at 1B even.

Franklin really hurts for me. Love the kid, had flashes last year. I wish he could find a home in OF or 1B.

ufcwecfan · 07-21-2014, 03:30 PM

I just don't get it though, he has been a steady 300 hitter at every level! Miller sucks bad! Give the kid a shot and see what he has. Can't be worse than a 200 avrg hitter in miller.

Devi8or · 07-21-2014, 03:52 PM

I'm excited for Taylor, but I was also excited for Miller and Franklin. The one thing we know is that Taylor is better defensively than both of them. As for Montero, I would rather see him as an everyday DH at this point than Cory Hart, who has been just miserable

preakness · 07-21-2014, 04:24 PM

think they have to try Miller and Franklin before they can try option 3

I agree, but what kind of sample size are they waiting for on Miller? He's played almost everyday since the start of the season. With the exception of a decent June, he's been an under .200 hitter every month including this one which is only partly over.

If they're gonan try Miller and Franklin out for awile, it would also make sense to have Franklin get some consistent time as well. In he amount of time he's been up with the M's, he's been sadly worse than Miller

Shout out!
Get him up here.

IamRalpho · 07-21-2014, 04:43 PM

I bet he gets a ton of calls every day, maybe his mom, dad, girlfriend?

oldgoldy97 · 07-21-2014, 04:45 PM

Chris Taylor is also a very good looking guy, at least from what the ladies say.

His love for miller is deeper then deep goes......

No but seriously brad miller is a frustrating to the max

darealstunna · 07-22-2014, 06:51 AM

Two more hits last night

cowboyzqna · 07-22-2014, 07:33 AM

Got lucky and hit his orange refractor auto... hopefully he gets the call soon

trixstar · 07-22-2014, 03:41 PM

He's not going to get called up this year unless this team falls out of contention. As previously stated they aren't going to bring him up and kill his trade value if he fails at the MLB level. As long as this team has a Wild Card spot you will not see Taylor in the majors (barring some injuries)

I don't agree with this at all. If there in playoff contention, he would be the best option at ss to give them a BETTER chance!

We'll just have to agree to disagree. He ain't getting the call as long as they're in contention.

He was about to get the call anyday, before his injury. So I def think at some point we see him, just when.

I think it's pretty much a foregone conclusion that he is going to get the call sometime in August if he is still on this team and we are contending. He's a solid right-handed bat and is very good defensively.

Of course Miller could outplay his call-up, but I don't really foresee that happening.

I'm gonna at least take my shoe off before I stick my foot in my mouth.
