Jose Abreu

Abreu sure is back!

Eloy 2-4, HR, 2B

Kopech done with just 5 IP, 81 pitches. Call up coming?

Moncada smoked that, unlucky.

The construction of this lineup sucks but at least it's mostly major leaguers for once

On a somewhat related note, from Keith Law's chat today:

And just wait until Avilan turns into another org top 30 guy in the coming days

Jon Heyman's Twitter is an amazing array of typo after typo after typo. First, he credited California Dianne Feinstein with the trade. Then misspelled the prospect names. Then misspelled Soria.

That Perez dude is 20 and playing in the DSL. Kinda strange

That Jake Peter trade is looking pretty good.

Ryan Cordell Jr

So basically switch Hansen for Madrigal and there's your top 100 for us. No Collins anymore either, and no Basabe

Nevermind

Why are they starting a new game before they finished the suspended one? Seems backwards.

Moncada

I was pretty much gonna respond as the post below did, but yes, I don't think they'll all work out. But I do think that the guys I listed are more deserving of MLB rotation spots than someone like Adams, even if they end up not working out.

Yeah but say we put all our eggs in that basket but he signs with the Phillies... then it's January of 2021, you hopefully have a really good roster but are just lacking a big star, but you're screwed because you waited and failed on Trout. I do think he's the kind of guy who would come here if we threw all the money at him but is it worth waiting and taking the pretty substantial risk of him not coming?

Too much pitching in the sense that we have too many MLB caliber starters. Obviously we can move some to the bullpen. My point is that for 2019, between Rodon, Kopech, Lopez, Giolito, Stephens, Covey, Dunning, and Cease, I just don't see Adams getting a shot unless there are many injuries

Forgot about Danish, that would be cool too. The thing with Adams is, even if he keeps pitching well, I really don't see him getting MLB starts with us. There are just too many guys ahead of him, both right now and next year too

Give his role to Spencer Adams. Someone who can eat some mop up innings but not someone of Kopech/Stephens caliber who should keep starting
