    By mid-July the team could be very intriguing: Add Culpepper, Jenkins, Jeffers, Roden, Abel, Rojas, Ober Subract Gray, Fedko, Jackson, Bell, Lawyerson, Lawrence, Adams (or other bullpen rando)

    Best paragraph of the yer so far , “A fraught day for pitchers indeed. Sullen-eyed and lethargic, any hurler who trudged to the mound looked; knowing their fate and the swollen ERAs that will soon follow with their entrance into the game. A rank curse. To see so clearly what awaits one yet to be helpless to stop the terribleness. At least they have a pile of money to cry into.

    I don’t think that was overthinking anything. It demonstrates what the eye test seemed to indicate. He’s pitching as good as he was but having a bit of bad luck. If he can stay healthy, he looks like he’s a major piece for the foreseeable future. If the walk rate comes down a bit, he’s gonna be very good.

    I’ve heard he could be a good CF as well. If the bat plays that could be a faster path. Our top prospects would be stretched in CF so could be a fit.

    Actually looks like Lewis was the right pick. Not that he’d necessarily be a star (though he has shown flashes), but I believe the injuries have clearly held him back and those are things you can’t predict unless you’re a pitcher or have prior injury history.

    Well said DocBauer, “I am ABSOLUTELY STUNNED by how tremendous all the young and rookie pitchers have done. Imagine the same a month or two from now when Gonzalez isn't the only position player, healthy, ready to debut. Despite injuries that have delayed debuts, I remain EXCITED for the 2nd half of the season with Rosario and Rodriguez and Jenkins in the OF.” Gonzalez also has a feather in his cap being right-handed. He can (eventually) spell Jenkins, or E-Rod against lefty’s in addition to being a DH, pinch hitter. I see a role carving out ~400-450 ABs a year with solid production.

    I had to watch that Mercedes clip a few times. That bat speed looks legit.

    If they can get Bradley and Abel healthy then we could also very likely see Preillip in the bullpen to help limit his innings. I can’t imagine they want him throwing more than 120 this year even if they still (like I do) see him as a starter. SWR also needs a spot
  26. TL
    Had to be done. The division is too winnable to delay making this move (and a few more) any longer. Frankly, not fair to the other players who are producing at this point. Bullpen hopefully also on the verge of getting stronger as Bradley and Abel get healthy and push two of Zebby, Preillip, SWR to the pen.

    Of course injuries are part of the game, but on the bright side a lot of these guys have looked like Frontline starters when healthy. We know Lopez and Ryan are but also Bradley, Abel, and Preillip have shown high upside. Lopez is out but if those other 4 and Ober can get healthy at the same time we may have something. The rest to the bullpen to give it a chance.

    All of this

    They can’t lose him for nothing, so a trade, signing or qualifying offer are the scenarios here and all have some upside. Trade feels most likely assuming they are out of contention but I’d be very open to a contract in 15MM range for 3-4 years. A one year QO at 20MM is expensive but it’s only one year so not a bad consolation prize.

    I think this is exactly right. Time is ticking for Wallner but I’m not quite ready to give up. It would have been smart in hindsight to IL him for the rib and let him rehab in AAA. Best case scenario is he finds the bat and becomes a cost-controlled DH for a few years (and hopefully Bell gets hot and can command something decent in a trade this summer) because his OF days are certainly numbered. If he can’t find it in 2-3 weeks then that option will need to be used unfortunately. Hard to believe he is already 29.
