That stuff usually doesn't come until a few hours before game time when line ups come out as well as TLR talks.

Eh....

Seems like everyone got duped

Yay!

Well NOW what?

 

I'm in no rush, we have a huge lead in the division and its early Aug, no need to rush him (Robert) as long as hes at full strength come playoffs

Goodwin and Sheets, please.

I like Sheets more, but I don't think Lamb is an indefensible choice here at all. Lamb is a veteran who, when healthy, has a longer track record of hitting RHP, and he looked good so far this year. If you choose Lamb, you can play him through August. If Lamb turns into a pumpkin or gets injured again, you can always DFA him then and bring back Sheets. But if you choose Sheets and he hits a rookie wall or gets injured, Lamb is gone. You retain more flexibility by choosing Lamb over Sheets for now, plus it gives Sheets daily at-bats in AAA.

Rest Eloy and keep Robert in rehab until the weekend series in my opinion.

IF you're resting Eloy until Friday, just IL him and get another body up here.  Since they haven't done that, I would suspect we'll see him in this Royals series. 

Let Eloy and Luis recoup. There is no need in the immediate future to bring them up.

I'll be back to watch once they're back to play.

My own opinion, strictly as a fan, is that AAA at bats are not as consequential or as competitive as major league at-bats. Further, I think Sheets progress might actually be hindered by demoting him.  If he had a lot of swing and miss early in counts and looked clueless at the plate. that would be different. Instead Sheets looks like he is tracking pitches pretty well and has some thunder in his bat. I would keep him on the major league 26 man roster  over Goodwin and certainly Lamb, but again, I'm just a fan watching the games.

This actually makes a lot of sense.  We don't KNOW that Eloy is healthy, or that any of these injuries won't relapse, or that someone else won't get hurt in the in term.  Why waste a potential asset until we absolutely have to do so.

So why was there a spot on the ML roster?

Lambert sent down. Lambert was called up when Hamilton went on the IL.
