I just can't not read that in a Ron Howard voice.

Agreed

Day off tomorrow everyone should be available (yes Tony, even Hendriks if the game is tied in the 9th).

We're going to get swept by the frickin Pirates, aren't we?

Trade for Bryan Reynolds. Would probably cost a lot though with 4+ years of control left.

He was our best option for the #2 spot with all the injuries. When everyone is healthy, I agree that the 9-spot is perfect.

Other teams seem to move athletic guys around no problem but yeah I would guess most can't do that.

Agreed. Might as well have a corner bat like Sheets here. Can even get some DH at bats against righties.

Has anyone mentioned Freddy Galvis as a rental idea?

Sense?

That's true.

Trying to figure out what his future with this team is exactly. He is 24 already and Anderson is locked up for 3 more years (probably longer if the Sox want him and he's still good). Is it a backup infield role or trade bait, possibly in a 1-for-1 deal for a rental like Escobar or Galvis for 2B?

Luis Gonzalez getting a start hitting 8th today in LF...isn't he currently the best CF option? Man, I wish Sheets got the call. Anderson SS Moncada 3B Abreu 1B Lamb RF Grandal C Goodwin CF Garcia 2B Gonzalez LF Cease P

Bring Adam Frazier to Chicago please.

Yeah I more meant to a team that could possibly give him at bats next year like a rebuilding team.

Possible trade piece?

I knew what you meant and I agree. Last Monday for example: Glasnow on the mound and you would think Lamb would start but he did not. Even with all the injuries and Moncada was out.

Agreed honestly. Goodwin likely will not be here when Eloy and Robert come back. Neither will Hamilton. Unless they dfa Eaton and option Yermin.

Here it is: who should not have been called up today?

I think the board was pretty split on if they should sign another corner bat that could play LF and RF with the idea you could give Vaughn more time in the minors and rotate Eloy between DH and LF. But yeah no one saw this many guys going down. It is a crazy amount of injuries honestly.

Fortunately, there is room for them and Vaughn against righties as Yermin is just unplayable now. Vaughn has more upside and should be getting near every day at bats and can actually play a position. I would just hit him low against righties.

He might already be here in Jake Lamb.

He's left-handed so the answer is probably yes even though he was hitting under .200 at Triple-A.

If you are going to trade for a DH, why would you just limit it to Escobar?
