Jose Abreu

Seems kinda dumb. What if we need him tomorrow in an actual save situation

Not that it matters anymore but I think he would have been

Good call

You're still not sold on LaVine?

Moncada

Eloy

One more hit and he'll be batting .500! At what point does he just get intentionally walked every PA?

We've had this debate plenty of times here, but I've always thought they would have won it without him too, and that's excluding that he wasn't particularly good in the postseason

Honestly, if I were a Packers fan, I would hate that. It was clear that he wasn't himself last year and playing through such a serious injury can be detrimental in a lot of ways

I'll guess early-mid June, which is when I think Kopech would've been up had he not struggled in April

I like him. He doesn't walk often but also doesn't strike out (sound familiar?). For a defense-first catcher at an age-appropriate level, that's sort of intriguing

In like 10 games

I'm with you on McClure but you totally jinxed him. 5 earned runs in the first inning...

Well there's an RBI single for Robert. Ho hum

Yeah, it's not obvious for sure, but he at least has shown an ability to work counts and play multiple positions *without* being the literal worst defender in the league. Unlike Palka, he was once an actual prospect and not just minor league depth. Might as well see what he can do in more than 40 ABs or whatever he got last year

Having Cordell and Rondon at 8/9 would make the lineup so much better. Not necessarily because they’re so good, but because they at least look like they belong on an MLB team and can work quality ABs

Moncada

This Evan Marshall? Our bullpen is shaky enough as is...

Yeah you aren't kidding. Collins is making great contact and has an .071 BABIP to show for it.

Eloy had some really great ABs even if his box score looks relatively muted. But Moncada continuing to break out is an awesome development.

He stopped running halfway during a stolen base attempt and then didn’t slide

It’s like he’s literally trying to throw games. There isn’t a single thing he’s doing well. Indescribably bad

To me it's Robert. Although I would've said that before the season started too. His ceiling is just so high.

He needs to be in Birmingham. Not because of a 9 game sample but because he was too talented to start in A+ to begin with.
