Does someone have a magic button to make Carpenter healthy? I’d rather see Lipcius at this point. Very strong year at AAA last season, and after a slow start, has hit well lately. Can take a walk and has versatility. Can’t be any worse than Ibanez. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think Lipcius’ May is all that different than his April. I thought that’s what I saw yesterday. But they aren’t calling Malloy up. They aren’t calling Keith up. They’re going to play the long game with them and let them develop in the minors. Keith especially would have to be tearing AA up to be promoted to Detroit. They just don’t have many moves to make right now with the position players and with the rotation. Heck, probably with bullpen, too. And despite all of this, somehow or another they’re within a series of .500. They’ve got a decent record for being awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casimir Posted May 27, 2023 Author Share Posted May 27, 2023 .673 OPS in April and .726 OPS in May for Lipcius. .979 in the last week, so if he’s “gotten hot” it’s happened just recently and is a small sample size. Just like Nevin’s pre call up. Just like Ibanez’ pre call up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet. if he can prove it some more against inferior pitching, maybe he gets a call up. But as of now I guess a .700 OPS in AAA isn’t all that impressive.

Tenacious D Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 Short is a poor man’s Brandon Inge. Very good D, some pop and swing and miss. Also allegedly an excellent golfer like Brandon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyMarsh Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 Shreve's been a solid pickup thus far, he got lit up against Baltimore in back to back games but since then he's gone 11 appearances and only given up 1 run with good peripherals.
