Dan Gilmore

Was an actual planned move mentioned? As in, we’ll have him in LF for a month or more… or are they thinking of him as a 3B, and want him to keep whatever LF skills he has from slipping? I can see value in letting a young player focus for extended periods at one position as a development goal, rather than the chess pieces idea. At least in the minors.

Dingler too

Yes, but I’d kind of like to.

Agreed that being buyers this year is unlikely and probably not a good idea. That said, I have been imaging what the roster could be like next year. Keep the ones that have shown they belong this year, drop a bunch of payroll and use it for some solid players to add. Plus the pitchers that should be back to health, hopefully. McKinstry Greene Tork Carpenter New FA Malloy or Keith Baez Rogers/Haase Baddoo i could see that being a reasonably good offense.

I suspect any trade value for Schoop is dependent on another team’s injury situation. A contending team could ante up something minor to get them through a stretch while their regular players are on the DL (60 day?).

“real” 🙄

Roger Dean for the win.

In my ideal world, Miggy goes to the DL, Carpenter is back at DH, Schoop goes away and Nevin is given another shot, with Kreidler an option when he’s healthy. Keith and Malloy get more time in the minors and benefit from it. Miggy gets a chance to return later for a send off. No, I don’t expect that to all happen. 😕

Re Faedo

Hope to have Carpenter active soon.

No offense, but I take an internet poster’s opinion of ERod’s “loyalty and teamsmanship” with a huge grain of salt. It may be very accurate, but is still just an opinion.

His “justification” for his rights- to drive his SUV over protestors was both insightful and iciteful. 😳. That and the Infowars garbage.

Instead, they increased it.

Chas, I think you are way, way off in characterizing posters stance on this. IMO. 😎

Does this increase the odds of them picking Bijan? Less WR capabilities (for 6 games), but more RB punch (and RB passing targets).

Rapid Unscheduled Disassembly is a term I was previously unfamiliar with.

If he’s a horse, give him invermectin, if he’s hoarse, give him a Ricola.

Wow, I hadn’t realized you had briefed Trump. 😎

Are you suggesting replacing Hinch with “another mediocre manager”? At this point finding anyone competent who wants to manage the team would be challenging and likely produce similar results or worse.

Bud Light is a sin (non-religious type) for what’s in the can, not what’s on the can.

Agree that the 40 games was meant allowing sufficient time to have an idea about the team, it’s strengths and weaknesses, not so much about record.

What is your favorite color?

Unless Schoop produces in the first 6-8 weeks, I expect him to be gone long before the trade deadline. Short leash.

While the racist aspect is appalling, the two black reps can be appointed by their county government (blue) to fill the vacancy, whereas the white rep was from a purple-leans red county. At least that’s what I heard on NPR.

I left Veiling off my list of “see how they do this year” guys. I made him my adoptee, so I can either support him unequivocally or assume he sucks, like most of my past AATs. 😶
