Jose Abreu

I see, that makes a lot more sense. Wasn't trying to be snarky, I genuinely thought you meant Carlos

I also think one of the McClure/Puckett/Stephens types will end up being a solid 3/4 starter. It's not always the top guys who end up making it, after all. Gotta factor the wild cards in

I think you're severely miscalculating when players will come up. The majority of our top guys should be in the majors by the end of the 2019 season.

Wow. My life is now complete.

Who's kicking Rodon out of the rotation? When healthy, he's clearly a MLB starter IMO

Jose Abreu

Actually a really smart lineup against Chatwood.

Anderson

Following it this early only leads to heartbreak. Remember when the Bulls were 3-20, with a wide lead for the #1 odds?

Pretty sure it's routine with all those Dash OFs

Luis Gonzalez back

We all bow down to @35thstreetswarm today.

Kopech isn't gonna be an ace right away. He's gonna struggle this year in the majors.

Fry. Then Jones, then Avilan

Moncada wasn't promoted because of a need in Chicago. And Anderson was clearly ready

I don't know. I just know that he hasn't played since 5/3 and no explanation has been given. Can't be a good thing.

Officially worried about this Luis Gonzalez injury

The Garcias, Nicky, and Palka are far and away our best outfielders, and demoting any of Leury/Delmonico/Palka rather than Engel/Thompson when Avi is back would be an indescribably puzzling move.

Random thought, but if Renteria is gonna keep pulling guys, he better be 100% sure that they're not hustling. That's not really something you can do when it's not for sure and we already only have 2 non-catcher bench players.

You also have to consider that this team, constructed as is, is not a 9-25 team. I'm not saying they're good, I'm just saying they're not this bad.

For the rotation, subtract Gonzalez and Fulmer, add Rodon and Kopech. Maybe Fulmer stays over Shields but I think they'll just move him to the bullpen. In the bullpen, it's really anyone's guess, but I think Gomez, Cedeno, Hamilton, and Burr could all get shots relatively soon. And I think any of them would at least be better than the Minayas and Infantes of the world.

65-97 is my guess. In a month or two, this roster, specifically the pitching staff, will look completely different.

... what?

What was Bell even doing? There was no play at first
