15 months would be around the end of the 1st half. 18 he would miss the regular season.

He's probably scared of him.

If you get an ok offer, take. Six years of even mediocre is better than whatever you get from Tauch is lost seasons.

Because large portions of games he is standoffish and silent. He's moody and does nothing to support the PBP guy.

It's probably not a good thing for a dude of that size to be having knee problems. Hopefully this isn't related to the changes the team made in him.

By the time this team even has a chance to be good Adrian Houser will be coaching little league somewhere. Wasting his value just makes the process longer.

This. You have a line up of places you could be letting them both hit in, and instead you bench a promising bat. It's dumb.

The trend lately seems to be 15 to 18 months

Probably mid to late 26.

I hate to say good to a pitcher on the IL, but also, good.

There is nothing wrong with the right guys learning more positions, but #1 on the list is for them to start before the majors.

Who cares. Get what you can get and move on.

If you don't laugh, you will cry.

That's nice of them to help the field crew. Many might need new careers soon.

It is not like we have a real DH. Run someone there too. Rotate them through a day a week and then you still have an offday if you play them 5 of 6 days.

And if you have already decided these guys can't play a defensive position why in the world would you let them play it for years in the minors only to make them learn a new position in the majors, while also learning how to be a major leaguer? Let them at least be playing something familiar in the majors. It's not like they are being blocked by some superstar at the major league level that should block them defensively.

For all of the talk about how new and great everything is, we still do nothing to put the kids in a position to succeed, just like we did during the last regime. Both Vargas and Montgomery at the peak values would be playing their toughest possible defensive positions, but we have already punted on that. Weird how that hasn't changed, right?

A lot of nice promotions in there, but sad to see Tatum go. There was some mild excitement around his pick.

35 times in two years vs "not at all". Keep trying bud.

Sure, but we are probably talking what, 3-4 years?
