3rd catcher/platoon DH?

Yep. And then Lester is a free agent after next year.

At this point, I don't even care if he plays RF. Just take him out late in the game and DH or sit him when Giolito or anyone else with future promise on this team starts.

I think most people know he is nothing though. Just would rather see him in the lineup instead of Alonso. Now, when Beef comes back, he should go since Collins and Abreu should split 1B and DH.

Doing some thinking about it, I'm fine with him in RF. The entire rotation outside of 1, arguably 2 guys, is important going forward. Go with a better defensive team when Giolito (and Lopez) is on the mound.

Agreed, but not in a positive way.

I think Mendick has played all over the infield at Charlotte this year.

I mean he can still host the charity event. If I recall, when Latos was dfa'd, he still went to a charity event later in the day.

Both Collins and Rondon are capable of playing 1B.

His time here reminds me of the scene in the Dark Knight when the Joker burns the pile of cash.

Palka and pitcher then? How awful would an Eloy, Jay, Palka OF look? Yikes.

In the sense that they've already paid him about half his salary. The sunk cost would be whatever they owe him.

It was more in reference to if Palka is truly coming up (someone said he's not in the Charlotte lineup). Edit: unless he's *gulp* going to play RF.

I don't think Collins will see regular at bats until we have a third catcher or he's back in Triple-A.

Makes sense then. Edit: who are the options? Drawing a blank at the moment.

I've been saying Monday as well so we were on the same page.

That certainly aged well.

The move does open up a spot on the 40 so you would think it would be for someone not on the 40-man being added.

Agreed.

Fuck it just call up Cease. He can try figuring it out in the majors. Although it would probably be better if there was a James Shields-veteran type here as well.

Who's the poster who regularly writes letters to Jerry and wanted to be interviewed for the GM job? This might be the closest opportunity he will get lol

One thing is for certain....don't pick up Nate Jones option.

Yeah would rather see Mendick up.

Who? Theres no one available. Unless you are referring to the trade route.

Thanks!
