I don't mind bringing in competition for Ferguson. If you figure 6 starters all making the playoff roster, then Hader, Pressley, Abreu, Neris,...
I'm not sure there's a need for an average bat. We kind of have that. If you ignore small sample size for Gamel and Whitcomb, they have 9 hitters...
Not saying he can't pinch hit. Just pointing out making him an everyday player increases the chances of suddenly being thin at catcher. I think a...
I like getting Whitcomb more PAs in case he goes Evan Carter. Don't like Caratini being overused. Would not want to risk relying on Salazar...
Here's the way I'm looking at things lining up for playoffs.... Game 1: Framber / high leverage relievers Game 2: Verlander 4 innings / Kikuchi 5...
I think Brown being cut locks up Metchie and Woods as 4 and 5. With the injuries last year, would love to have Woods in my back pocket and dress...
I'm expecting he would get used like Salazar last year... which is virtually none at all.
I would bring him back for the playoffs... 3rd catcher only of course... unofficial coach.... They usually like having a 3rd catcher for the...
They weren't... Verlander Valdez Javier Brown Blanco No place for either TJ pitcher without another injury.
Then Lorenzen isn't enough, right? We need 5 more starters? 8 more? Should half the 40 man be starters? 8 healthy arms to start a season is...
Not following... Verlander Valdez Javier Brown Urquidy Blanco France Bielak Even if you believed Garcia and McCullers were not coming back,...
Bump
We got Musgrove from them. What did he get us?;)
We gave up more for verlander. How did that work out for Detroit?
I take a wait and see. I wouldn't have done it. I would prefer a lesser pitcher and keep Bloss for potential. I thought the same thing about...
Just like to remind the main factor would be he costs nothing and can still hit lefties. I too would like a better player, but better players...
I'm not expecting miracle here. I think he would help at a cost of virtually nothing. If he doesn't, you cut him or leave him off the playoff roster.
Purely from a roster spot, you're deciding between Kessinger, Aledmys, or France. France has most upside. If you still want to platoon dubon, I...
They aren’t platooning him... You're also pairing him with Singleton. You want your primary backup at SS and 2B starting against lefties at 1B?
Did we just get gifted Ty France? Mariners put him on waivers.... He has struggled this year but his OPS against lefties is still .750 v...
