August 22, 20205 yr A lot of posters wanted this guy in the offseason. He's struggled this year, and I am sure a lot of teams will be looking at him, but with all the debate around bringing Yolmer back, what would everyone think about this guy instead? Worth a shot?

Would love Holt . A slow start shouldn't be a reason for a player of his caliber to be DFA.
August 22, 20205 yr With basically 30 days left, I think Yolmer makes more sense as a guy who already is a fit with this organization.

August 22, 20205 yr Once Madrigal comes back, Mendick moves into the Goins role. So IDK if Holt or Yolmer would be very interested. Neither would play much if there isn’t an injury.

Plays every position from 3rd through 1st and both corners in the OF . He can sort of be Leury without the speed or switch hitting, but a good baseball player, much like the way people talk about Madrigal.

I guess they could use him for another guy. For the OF the have Engel #1 off the bench. But with the expanded rosters he would just sit in Schaumburg.

August 22, 20205 yr For the record, don't forget, Lopez went 2 innings in his Sim game last time around in Schaumburg. He probably has around a 50 pitch outing at the most today.

Madrigal isnt going to be handed 2nd base just like that. Madrigal is in Schaumburg right now. He will be the 2B, Mendick will be the back up IF. So Yolmer or Holt would be behind him.Unless there is another injury, with a little over one month left, hardly any opportunity.

If there are no better offers maybe one comes here but they can see that there isn't much playing time here.

As long as he doesn't land on it again, it should be fine. So maybe his slide or diving for a ball maybe effected.

August 22, 20205 yr Just now, Yearnin' for Yermin said: Fake news. Well, technically he is correct because he is spending time there now. He didn't say WHEN he would spend time there.

So maybe his slide or diving for a ball maybe effected. That's why I suspect he will be in Schaumburg longer than we think. With Mendick playing well all around and giving professional at bats while flashing power and the team winning why upset the apple cart with Madrigal by just handing a perhaps weakened Madrigal the job ?
August 22, 20205 yr I think Madrigal will be back on Tuesday vs the PIrates and if not, probably for the Kansas City series.
