Oh good.

When a player is out for the season, I don't really expect him near the team to be honest.

Kind of feel like that implies that he has COVID.

I don't expect Andrew Vaughn to see any MLB time this year either personally.

Yes but my point is you can't really play the service time game and say he needs to improve in the minors. If you're going to call him up after whatever date it is you need for him to stay down (what, 6-7 games?) , you might as well start him in the majors on opening day.

If Madrigal is not on opening day roster then I wouldn't even plan on calling him up this year. They don't really have the excuse of "he needs more time in the minors" this season. Plus it's not like he really hit well in Spring Training.

Vaughn may be part of a 60-man squad but I highly doubt they will use him this year.

Agreed. A lot of posters here at the time were unimpressed with his spring training.

Thought the same.

I would expect them to not trade anyone. Also, there's no reason they couldn't just pitch Gio out of the bullpen. And why trade Colome just because of Rodon? They need all the arns they can get.

Feel like they should change the name of the World Series this year. How about, "The Covid Cup!"

If this season starts, I bet it doesn't finish.

There's also a taxi squad too where I think these guys are more likely to land. Maybe not carry 1 but probably not both on active roster.

It's really cool for these kids (despite not being able to sign for a lot) that if they were undrafted college seniors, you can at least pick the team you want to go to. You'd have to think some of these kids have a handful or two of teams trying to sign them for the $20k amount.

Apparently the DH will be in the NL in 2020 AND 21. Nice.

Cool. You will be missed.

Doesn't seem to effect other sports' popularity. And which is the least popular? Hmmmm

So on board with expanded playoffs. It's better than half the league tanking. At least teams may believe they have a chance if they are on the bubble.

Well that is boring.

True. Definitely a lot of question marks in the rotation.

I was going to say, there's not a lot he can right now. Better to let the 2 sides come to an agreement rather than screwing over one side.

Agreed.

Good to have a solid amount of options. Especially at the possibility of doubleheaders (regardless if scheduled or not).

In a year with only 5 rounds, punting a few picks to get 2 of the best ranked is fine.

Would have been really fun to follow Andrew Vaughn in the minors this season.
