With 10 games left and the possibility that Kolson could be out for the rest of the regular season who do we want out at shortstop everyday? It comes down to Meidroth or Acuna. I say we go with Meidroth with Ant taking over 2B and Grichuk in LF. Give it a try for at least the Detroit series and if it doesn’t work out they can finish the season with Acuna.

You can't play Acuna regularly. It would have to be Meidroth and Ant unless you want to call up Bonemer

Bring up Bonemer!

You can't but never underestimate the stupidity of this organization.

If Colson is day to day then Chase at SS, Sam at 2nd, If Colson get put on the IL I would think Rikuu would get called up.

Chase at SS, Sam at 2nd, Randal/Pham in left/right.

Colson is day to day. I'm sure he will sit for a couple of days as an excuse to give him a breather.

Bonemer 3B or DH, Vargas Mune 1B/DH, Chase SS, Antonacci 2B, Grich or Doyle in LF

No Mune?

I said they would play 1B or DH. Bonemer, Vargas, Mune would occupy 3B/1B/DH

Oops

Any interesting veterans in the minor leagues of any teams that we can trade cash considerations for? Or sign or claim anyone who was DFA’d? At least for a backup spot?

I’d roll with Chase at SS, Ant at 2B, Grich in LF with Acuna and Doyle as late inning subs

Is it a serious possibility that Colson will be out for any significant time? All I heard was that his X-rays were negative and he’s bruised up.

That doesn’t sound like a situation that will take him out for any considerable time.

If we do have to walk that path… you put Chase at short and Psycho Sam at second. If they had balls, they’d give Bonemer a cup of coffee.

It’s hard enough to get players to be allowed to make the team out of spring training

Bonemer won't be called up, they aren't starting his clock for a handful of games.

Fegan quoted Venable in a Sun-Times story saying x-ray showed no break but "he can't swing the bat." (direct quote)

He's going to be out me thinks more than a "couple of days."

Especially going into a lockout.

Two lefties.

Problem is he hits them much better than RHP.

Couldn't find any info about how long colston would be out.

They don't know yet. It's a comfort thing. Nothing is broken according to the X-rays, so pretty much it is when the swelling and pain goes away and Colson is comfortable. Could be today, could be a week.

Long enough to keep from breaking the record for strikeouts.

Look, I'm not against it

Is Veneble related to Jerry Manuel?

Thats easy....

Chase at SS and Sam at 2B.

You put Grichuk in left v righties or lefties
