IMO neither of those two has the potential to be a difference maker. Vaughn does. Rebuild is over, Larussa is here to win now. Vaughn is the clear choice over those two. I'm not convinced that will be the difference between a world series or not. What is it, 15 days we need to keep Vaughn down? No brainer IMO.

I'm not crazy about their depth at the positions either. If they lose either Anderson or Moncada they're in some serious shit. I'm not even sure they have someone anywhere close to the majors that can play a passable SS, let alone hit.

Yes, I really hope they bring their best team. LuCroy, Vaughn, Collins, Garcia and Engel are the best five beyond the starting fielders, Hamilton I guess until Adam can return, though I really don’t want to see Hamilton here all season, especially at the expense of someone better like a Collins or Vaughn.

I guess if they don't count that's why they signed Beckham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted March 27, 2021 Author Share Posted March 27, 2021 Here's what I have for an opening day roster- Lineup: Anderson SS, Eaton RF, Abreu 1B, Moncada 3B, Grandal C, Collins DH, Robert CF, Vaughn LF, Madrigal 2B Bench: Hamilton OF, Garcia UTL, Mendick IF, Lucroy C Rotation: Giolito, Keuchel, Lynn, Cease, Rodon Bullpen: Kopech, Ruiz or Turley, Foster, Marshall, Crochet, Heuer, Bummer, Hendriks Roster moves to come: Option Mercedes also cut NRIs- Nick Williams, Tim Beckham, Matt Reynolds, Zach Remillard, Ryan Burr 60-day IL- Fry and Eloy (Cordero is already there) 15-day IL- Engel Drop from 40-man: Ruiz or Turley Add to the 40-man: Vaughn, Hamilton, Lucroy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy U Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 That looks accurate to me. But Fry is expected back May 1, so you can’t put him on the 60 day, and as soon as Engel is ready, you DFA Hamilton, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, I thought I heard Fry could be headed to the 60-day, but if not, then Zavala will probably be the other guy to go if they need to make room. And yes, Hamilton may not be long but he does bring a nice option off the bench for pinch running. Edited March 27, 2021 by flavum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can agree to disagree on the value of Billy Hamilton. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiddleCoastBias Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Eloy-related: Yankees keeping Jay Bruce. This leaves Tauchman as the odd man out and possibly easier to get via trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This leaves Tauchman as the odd man out and possibly easier to get via trade. Keeping Bruce because Voit is going to the IL. Leaves room for both Bruce and Tauchman on the roster. Essentially, exactly the opposite of what you suggest. Now, Tauchman will make the team and thus, not be available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavum Posted March 29, 2021 Author Share Posted March 29, 2021 (edited) Lucroy released. Congrats to Yermin. Bench- Garcia, Hamilton, Lamb, Mercedes Looks like it's just down to Ruiz or Turley Edited March 29, 2021 by flavum 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Lucroy should catch on with someone else, he seemed to do a solid job with the staff this spring, just not really a fit with Collins really coming on this spring. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would play them somewhere in the minor league system. And there are plenty of minor leaguers to cut. Considering I would be trading guys who were thought of to be 40 man worthy, I could probably get guys that are better than the worst guys in the system.

MiddleCoastBias Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 Lot of ink spilled these past couple months debating who out of Vaughn, Collins, and Mercedes who make the OD roster. Crazy to think here we are and they're ALL making it. No one could have predicted that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 leaving Lamb on this current roster gives them the opportunity to remove and replace him pretty quick should another player be signed or traded for. Yermin too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
