Please be one of those dudes who just ends up being a damn good player despite limited minor league hype…

The lack of plate discipline and high K% isn't something that leads me to believe he will have long term success or turn into a potential long term answer for this team. But the kid is deserving to get a shot and can't be much worse than what we are seeing from Vaughn.

Maybe the phantom IL Chase? Do we know why he was scratched last night?

Chase Meidroth was scratched from the lineup with right shoulder soreness and replaced at shortstop with Jake Amaya, while the rest of the batting order was slid up a spot to replace him.

I’m not a grandpa yet.  Aren’t you in your 60’s?

Elko was already hitting well in the minors in 2023 while Hahn was still in charge.

...And Getz was an Assistant GM and Director of Development. Getz personally imbued Tim Elko with his advancement in the organization, then kept the entire group that drafted him. I'm led to believe by you guys that Chris Getz made all the decisions under Hahn.

I'm a young soul.

Wait, I thought that since Getz was part of that front office, he's completely culpable for every move that was made. Pick a lane, grandpa. 

Wait I thought since Getz didn't direct him to be drafted he couldn't be held responsible for his development.  Pick a lane ,Grandpa.

Why would you phantom IL one of your few interesting young players? He's either legitimately dinged up and is expected to be unavailable for a week, or it'll be someone else.

Glad Elko got the call, he's earned it. I'll be rooting for the guy, but I have low expectations. 30% K rates in the minor leagues do not translate well to the big leagues, especially for a DH type. I suspect most of the those clamoring for him the past month will be complaining about his inability to make contact in no time.
