Just about to note that
However, the fact that he went 1-for-11, 4 Ks, on his rehab assignment with the Sky Sox is kind of worrying. We really need him to turn it on, contract or otherwise, if we’re going to continue to justify him seeing playing time over Seth Smith. Then again, it’s not as if actual performance matters more than veteran grittyness in terms of, say, our catcher.

That was more on Ubaldo
but what I didn’t like is that Yorvit gloved a ball wide near the dirt, instead of shuffling out to keep it in front of him. It didn’t hurt this time, but if it skips away, that runner just turns and heads to third.
It’s not a tremendous request to ask your catcher to go out and block balls.

Outside of one game
Baker hasn’t hit this year.
Hawpe hasn’t looked himself in AAA… or even 08
Herrera and Torrealba are the lesser hitters at their positions, same (maybe) for Willy.
They don’t want Jimenez to win his starts. Seriously, they don’t.

It's not that at all
there’s no reason for him to pitch in Colorado until later in the second half, if at all this year. He may even be better as a 2009 early call up, to set his arb clock back a year.
It has nothing to do with talent. He’s ready and everybody knows it, but they really need to insure that he gets three full cheap years at least, preferrably when they’re ready to contend again. A Set. call to get his feet wet would probably be best.
If we were winning but struggling a bit to keep pace, he’d already be here.
