Dude only plays once or twice a week. He needs at bats to adjust and get acclimated.

I was honestly surprised at how Collins looked the first time I saw him in an MLB game this year. From what you read about him, you would think he was a lot fatter when he really isn't that big.

Not that I think he will get traded, but they could re-sign him in the off-season if they wanted to.

Which you'd expect when he's playing what, once, twice a week?

Think it is more about not giving Collins the at bats, which I think would come more having 3 catchers on the roster if they wanted when Castillo comes off IL.

Post of the year.

I completely agree. He should be getting regular at bats in the majors.

So to recap: Palka sent down for Reed. Collins will be sent down for the rehabbing Beef so he can receieve consistent at bats and catch. It's good that Collins was at least able to get a taste of the majors and kind of learn a bit and work with McCann. Catcher is a different animal compared to other spots on the field. A little bit more onboarding than most positions. Just wish he could have receive at bats as the DH while "onboarding."

Have you seen his Triple-A numbers this year?

Feel free to share. The board has been a good place to come to for career advice (especially for me over the past few weeks).

He may not get a shot at the MLB level. As of right now, Abreu and Collins will be getting the 1B and DH at bats (when Wely is back) and I don't think McCann or Abreu gets dealt.

Him being on the roster allows both McCann and Collins to be in the lineup every day. Teams do not normally start their only 2 catchers in the same lineup every day. Theres value in him being on the team with Collins up.

Reed was assigned to Triple-A. I'd bet on Wely coming off the IL after the break and Collins getting a bulk of the DH at bats.

Guessing Wely gets activated on Friday.

Sign Cole and then a back-end rotation type please.

Eloy slowing down going after the ball and letting Schwarber take 2.

It's different when you are doing it for a hit.

To be fair, it's not by all mostly by one haha

Dude is a pitcher haha his job is to literally throw off a mound.

I feel like everyone I know is there tonight. Wish tickets weren't so pricey for this one.

Between a possibly logjam at 1B and logjam in the OF, might be able to put some trade packages together. Edit: not now, but in the next year or two.

Yep, he gone when Wely comes back.

As badly as I want them to win world series after world series, I yearn for the days of watching competitive meaningful baseball. Give me a good entertaining division race all season long. We haven't had that since what, 2012?

After the game yesterday, he said he really wants be here with these guys going forward. I go year to year with him and offer 1 year $8 million to DH next year.

? They bought out free agent years for Q and Sale.
