Good (ironic?) timing on this one....Buck leaves today's game early and Fedko clearly can't handle mlb pitching at this point.  I'd bet Buck goes to 10-day IL and Fedko is sent down.  That would/will open two spots.  Roden likely gets one.  The other??

Jeffers for Fedko. Roden only if Buck goes on the Il, which I don't think he will. No room for Wallner.

I hate to say it, but he feels like a poor man's Joey Gallo.  And I wasn't impressed with the rich man's Joey Gallo.  At least Gallo had some defensive value.  Loved seeing his monster homers, but the disappointments were far more frequent.  Should be able to get a low level lottery ticket for him, but if not he should probably be DFA'd.

Very similar. I've suspected occasionally that Wallner actually emulates Gallo. I would love to see a side by side comparison of their pre-pitch routine.
