You are right, but at least I didn't suggest that he works out as catcher in Charlotte. My thought about trying Baldy at 1B was that he is an infielder so he could field grounders, he is a tall and flexible athlete that could reach to catch throws, and as far as his offense he had 3 HR and almost a 4th while he was up here. I think if he focused on hitting LH and maybe cut down on his swing after he has 2 strikes, he could boost his average. He is also fast and would be a base stealer unlike some of the big guys. This team is so bad, you have to think outside the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there are much better options for Brooks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DFAthewave69420 Posted June 3, 2025 Share Posted June 3, 2025 Would you rather have Kyle Teel playing 150 games at 1B during a season or 120 games at C & DH? I think his bat moving to 1B full time will result in a longer and more successfully offensive career. Quero and Lee are your catchers. September Lineup C Quero/Lee 1B Teel 2B Meidroth 3B Vargas SS Montgomery LF Baldwin / Bum CF Baldwin / Bum RF Baldwin / Bum DH Elko / Vaughn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestEddy Posted June 4, 2025 Share Posted June 4, 2025 Not enough buzz about what Ryan Cusick is doing in AA this year: After last nights 7.0 ip 6 k 0 er outing, he’s sitting at a 2.88 era after 10 app. While still holding his typical 94 mph avg FB (t98), he’s added a sinker to the mix at 8.8 vb and a slider at 85 mph. pic.twitter.com/1hLQcIl19Q — Cam Lanzilli (@LanzilliCam) June 8, 2023 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaughn: .273/.333/.424 - .758 OPS Elko: can't find milb splits, but he stunk after being sent back down for a bit and had been turning it back on lately Montgomery: Stunk, went down to Arizona to get fixed, came back and was hammering the ball, had a couple bad games after that, then got hurt (hit by a pitch on his knee) Edited June 4, 2025 by almagest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buehrle>Wood Posted June 4, 2025 Share Posted June 4, 2025 (edited) I like the waiver pick-up. Former first round pick, only 25 years old, big and can touch 99. Really like this pick-up. The kind of roster churning that should be done. ERA under 3, 10k/9 in the minors last year as a reliever so i would think they leave him there. Similar profile to Burke so maybe they try him as SP. Seemingly needs to throw strikes Edited June 4, 2025 by Buehrle>Wood 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
