    If Norris is outta there before the 5th inning, I think Luhnow is going to blow a fuse.

    I don't understand having Marwin bunting there. There no outs with Dominguez on 2nd and Altuve on deck. Let him hit.

    Probably not gonna cut a young guy on pace for 34 HR, who also happens to be second on your team in rbi and first in rbi among regulars. Also the guy who leads your team in bb's.

    Not saying he is going to be a great player, but . . . .

    Because batting average on April 23 is a good reason to cut someone with 30+ hr power and is leading the team in hr and RBI.

    Well his average and k's are terrible . . . .

    but let's be logical here if possible?

    He is second on the team in rbi, second on the team in runs, only Altuve and Pena have a better OBP out of regular players . . .so not thinking Luhnow is rushing out to cut the guy right now

    don't disagree with this, but to say Carter should be cut is even more laughable

    Ok, i'm guessing they won't be cutting Carter tonight though, maybe i'm wrong. It certainly would clear up some more at bats for Ankiel and F Martinez though, if that is what you are wanting?
