It looks like he will get a shot at a bench role next season. Last Edited By: yoshii8 November 9, 2009 12:34 PM. Edited 1 time.

I know I'm not the only one that was surprised that he didn't get a chance to show what he could do in September, even if there was more of a roster crunch. His addition may allow the team to deal Casey McGehee more comfortably while his value is high. I was saying boo-urns

I'd be happy to do a Guthrie deal for Casey, as I appear to be Guthrie's biggest fan. Otherwise, Philadelphia is an option. It'd be nice to deal McGehee and a sweetener for JA Happ. if possible.

I'm on the fence for trading McGehee or Gamel (assuming the return for Gamel is higher). But in either case, flexibility is good.

If not he could be traded for help in other areas. I don't see him being able to handle part time duty on a Macha team. He's too young and inexperienced to be productive playing once a month.

Posts: 8112 November 9, 2009 3:26 PM Hipster, CWFHA	Heether was going to be a minor league free agent, but when a player is added to the 40-man they immediately come under major league free agency guidelines, and Heether is obviously still well short of six years of big league service. He now has three option years, so he can stay in the minors through at least 2012. "T-shirt." - Mike Rowe

Possible similar situation to Macha's mid-season quote about getting Gamel worked into the infield rotation, "It gets to be a jam. You're developing a guy, so do you put the pressure on him that he's going to be up there with guys on base all the time? ... In a way, I was put into a little bit of a 'zim-zam.' It's got me flummoxed." Last Edited By: TSack27 November 9, 2009 3:37 PM. Edited 1 time.

Posts: 3626 November 9, 2009 4:46 PM	I think I just heard X ellence scream in excitement somewhere It really did bring a smile to my face, as I just hate to see hard working people suffer such an injustice. This does help restore some faith in the current regime for me. They're 2/3 so far, with Peterson and Heether on the positive side of the ledger. Hopefully I am wrong about Gomez's bat, maybe they see another McGehee. They do know bats well, hopefully they let Peterson fix their view of pitchers. As others have said, keeping Heether makes it easier to deal McGehee. As of right now, Heether is also our only backup righthanded hitting OF. __________________ "88.6% of all statistics are made up right there on the spot" Todd Snider

However, I heard his bat may be too slow for MLB pitching but I would like to see that for myself. I have a sense he is probably just a "guy" like Drew Anderson, but we shall see.

Thats possible, but Drew Anderson never had a AAA season like Heether did this year, with a 400/501/901, and Anderson didn't play 2B/3B. __________________ "88.6% of all statistics are made up right there on the spot" Todd Snider
