They've locked up premium talent for cheap prices so there should be no issues, especially since I would not expect them to pick up Encarnacion or Gonzalez options. The Abreu contract is kind of a pain but I'm not gonna beat that dead horse again. In terms of RF, if they are still interested in Joc he's kind of struggling this year so we could prolly get him cheap.

I just looked at the schedule again....my bad you are right we are playing Sunday.

Very good. We are off Sunday so hopefully he will be ready for DET on Monday.

Eh...i guess thats not completely awful but it still sucks. Hopefully his rehab is good.

That doesn't seem like a good sign.

Wouldn't that be too many lefties in the rotation?

Nah Bummer is the future closer. Colome is playing with fire too often.

If Jose preferred Big League Chew, Madrigal might be alright and Kopech would be in the dugout.

Wouldn't it help that he was wearing a brace?

Well at least if its a break it won't sap any power from his swing....since there wasn't any to begin with.

Problem is the pen has been stretched already with few starters seemingly able to go deep into games.

I dont like the Basabe move.

Collins is going to be the primary backup C next year, and has some value traits (LHH, power, OBP) I wouldn't trade him.

Anderson prolly won't bat leadoff again lol

Don't blow this game dammit

I need to see a Madrigal BOMB* *And by Madrigal BOMB I mean a bloop single.

It should be Bummer not Colome. Ricky trying to lose.

Thanks, Ricky.

I think Moncada is super comfy at 2 I dont think he wants to move from there. I dont think Ricky will last too long in this job as expectations start to heat up. I'd like to see us add Joc next year for RF. If they accede to Robert's desire to leadoff, I could see something like this vs RHP. 1 Robert R 2 Moncada L 3 Vaughn R 4 Jimenez R 5 Pederson L 6 Anderson R 7 Grandal L 8 Abreu R 9 Madrigal R This lineup would wreck worlds.

I wouldn't be surprised if Madrigal ends up leadoff long term, especially if hes a 300/360/410 guy. Robert has too much power and will prolly not have enough OBP for the role and Anderson likely won't be able to sustain such a high average such that he can get to 350 OBP with only a 2 percent walk rate.

I think Ron actually likes Abreu. Its just that he likes getting under people's skin even more.

I'm assuming we are facing a lefty? This is pretty good though, I like Eloy and Robert moving up. Ultimately, it should be Robert, Eloy,Grandal at 3-4-5.

Adding Madrigal and Mazara should make a big difference in the offense. There is zero excuse not to take 2 of 3 against KC.

Lmao

I hear you but since this is not a normal year with normal minor league games, so its harder to hide the clubs true intent so they have to be extra cautious in how they handle it. I too would prefer him to be in KC tomorrow cause I'm sick of Leury and Mendick at 2B but if they can't take 2 of 3 from KC because of a lack of Madrigal then we have alot bigger problems than any of this kind of stuff.
