It’s not ideal at all, but there isn’t much left as far as options without an acquisition. Might as well actually plan for two of them to be starters so you can try to get some semblance of a workload balance for the rest of the pen. Maybe use Holton instead of Faedo because he’s actually effective.

At this point you’d think they’d be trying to stretch out Faedo or Brieske. and to be fair, Maeda looked quite a bit better yesterday so if we “throw in the towel” and trade Flaherty, just slot Maeda back in at least until we get Mize and/or Olson back.

Precisely

I definitely expect Dingler to struggle a bit with the adjustment….we just need to commit to giving him the reps.

Curious if Dingler will transition quickly to the bigs or not. Seems to take him at least a half season to get going offensively at each level jump. Hinch needs to play him 2/3 of the time over Rogers the rest of the year.

Fair, although outside of a bit of a hot streak for a few weeks this year, I haven’t been impressed with Kelly. i trust Harris and Co on evaluating arms, so if they went after this AA reliever, I feel like they must think he can be elevated to something worthwhile. The catcher we got just helps with Depth. If the reliever can be serviceable by next year, that hopefully helps us move on from a few of the duds we have in the pen right now.

Is it Frank Howard? I only know that he played there from going to OSU at the same time as Nick Swisher and Howard and Dave Burba being the only two names I had ever heard of on their list of pros at the stadium. I was hoping the Tigers were going to draft Swisher back then. Burba, Howard, Swisher and now Dingler are the only 4 OSU players I can name that made it to the majors so if the answer is someone else than I’m curious how they’re famous.

Jansen is a better than Kelly. Maybe not necessarily numbers wise this year but career wise. Anyone hoping to get anything more than what we got was probably aiming too high. Dingler has the ability to be better than both Kelly and Rogers.

They’ve continuously been highly competitive and have won their division multiple times in the last 15 years despite three of the other four teams always running huge payrolls. We haven’t been very competitive in our division the last 10 years despite none of the other teams ever spending much.

I’d have been shocked if he didn’t get used in this game. We aren’t exactly in a spot where we can give guys mini-vacations…

What exactly is the plan with Maeda? Despite two weeks worth of multiple bullpen days in the rotation, he’s only pitched twice since July 9th. If he’s so bad that we aren’t even gonna use him in the bullpen games at all, then just release him or phantom injury him.

Trade him now!!!!!

Or ask them what the list of prospects they are willing to include in a deal for our player and then ask for someone outside of that list

DD probably would’ve traded Mize and Torkelson for future HOFers before they even got to the majors.

NOBLETIGER

Wentz should have to deliver the pizzas from the pizza spear to the opposing dugout after every outing

Is this real life?

Should’ve started him. 1.000 WHIP

What are we gonna do after they collectively can’t get out of the 5th?

Never trade with the Rays. Those two Low-A prospects are guaranteed future plus big leaguers. If fanduel had a betting line out for that, I’d put my 401k on it

Glad I’m not a White Sox fan because I would be piiiisssed at Crochet right now. Not that their brass would’ve made a good trade for him anyway, but still. He just complicated his trade market and raised red flags about himself while in the same division as the other big name starters that everyone is looking at.

On the surface that seems like a pretty good return for Puk. Haven’t looked at either of the defensive profiles though but they both have had success offensively in the minors

The White Sox are now on pace to have a worse record than the 2003 Tigers. Amazing because that 03 team had nothing close to Crochet and Fedde in their rotation.

Baez with 1.0 WAR today…..

Which was apparently spent on repeatedly putting hits out on Franklin Perez’s elbow
