    As long as we aren't counting on him to be regular high leverage. Maybe he'll earn those spots and move parker down a notch. If he doesn't have it, fine, a good flier to take before giving up any prospects in a trade.

    I think Cleveland makes an effort to improve and win every year they still have Lindor.
  3. lukeduke1980
    I thought Marwin was really good at 3B.
  4. lukeduke1980
    I think he's been fed so many sliders that a belt high fastball surprises him and he can't catch up with it.
  5. lukeduke1980
    I liked KCs pitcher keller. Nice aggressive approach.
  6. lukeduke1980
    Odorizzi continues to astonish me. This is a Scott Erickson type run.
  7. lukeduke1980
    I don't think the pitching staff is in decline just being occasionally exposed when a game isn't 8-0 after 3 innings.
  8. lukeduke1980
    What is the current thought process on Romero - that he needs to gain confidence and dominate AAA? Is there benefit at some point to bringing him back up to work with Wes Johnson?
  9. lukeduke1980
    I was on the 'consider trading him' side, but remembered the benefit of having Sano under Nelson Cruz's tutelage for another year and a half. Let him continue to learn and be a solid number 6 or 7 hitter.
  10. lukeduke1980
    Yankees have Chapman, Britton, Ottavino, Kahnle. It'd be really nice to counter with something like Kimbrel, Rogers, Smith, Parker.
  11. lukeduke1980
    My hot take is let's not delay the inevitable and move Perez back to the bullpen where he belongs. Let's start stretching out Trevor May.
  12. lukeduke1980
    And no extra inning games this year to get through. There were 21 extra innings by this time last year.
  13. lukeduke1980
    I agree - Rogers started out the first two batters with straight fastballs right over the plate. He started to do better once he mixed in some sliders. It was like he needed a couple batters to get the feel for things.
  14. lukeduke1980
    Gibby did a good job. His first inning was a lot like Berrios' on Friday, needing to work from the stretch right away, and he was working kind of methodical/slow. After a couple of innings he and Tortuga just meshed and cruised.
  15. lukeduke1980
    I usually agree. Maybe this year, if stars continue to align, no one is untouchable. Obviously return would have to be elite for those guys, but go for it.
  16. lukeduke1980
    I agree with slowing the roll on Arraez, if he goes back down he'll be back soon enough as the injured list will unfortunately but inevitably be used again
  17. lukeduke1980
    I think it was Greg Holland who was signed late by the Cardinals just a year ago and was a disaster.
  18. lukeduke1980
    27 and 15 - unbelievable.
  19. lukeduke1980
    Any player who slumps and sulks could make a bad clubhouse worse. But everything about this clubhouse seems so positive that Sano should be able to relax and play.
  20. lukeduke1980
    I want to say Toronto is a 'bad team' but they did just take 3 of 4 from us.
  21. lukeduke1980
    I thought Garver called 2 phenomenal games.
  22. lukeduke1980
    Not a lot of sparkling OBPs in the lineup as expected, but guys on base hasn't seemed to be an issue this year as much as getting those guys in
  23. lukeduke1980
    I know Cave has options but I'd rather move on from Adrianza. Gonzalez can get some at bats at all infield positions.
  24. lukeduke1980
    I was surprised to see Mejia 'needing' to pitch on Monday as a setup guy, when odds are the next 2 games with Gibby and Odorizzi would require someone 'coupled' to their impending 5 inning and 4 2/3 inning starts.
  25. lukeduke1980
    This is what Odorizzi was last year. 5 innings and he's done. A number 5 starter. Gibson and Pineda have only the ability to go about 5 right now also, though due to health. Prepare for an overworked bullpen, injuries, and an exposed lack of depth.
