Interesting

ok. 

[sys]

so i guess the idea is don't need so many defensive outfielders.  he can hit lefties so you've got a slightly better ph option?  tough luck for orlando.

[Cartierfor3]

I can't imagine they'd start him in RF (he sucks at D) and who on the team are they going to pinch hit for? I don't get it.

Paulo would seem to be the odd man out for the post-season. They have to get Gomes on the 40-man or 25-man by 11 CDST tonight for him to be eligible for post-season.

[Cartierfor3]

I mean, let's say a team brings in a leftie late in a game. You're not PH'ing for Hosmer, Gordon, or even Moose. Dyson would be the only one. Unless you're PH'ing for Rios I guess. I don't get this at all. I don't see where he fits, unless you're done with Rios.

against lefties in an important at bat?  salvy.  moose if he's on a downswing.  dyson if he's in.  if it's a super important at bat, esky.

We'll see if Cleveland's arms can cool off the Jays

oh wow, i didn't even think of that possibility.  you'd be giving up some defense (i typed that with a straight face), but i think it might be worth it.  that could be very interesting.


although i think you'd keep rios on the roster and it'd still be goodbye to orlando.

i don't mind most of their team, but donaldson should be stabbed.

I can't see a scenario where Ned PH's for Sal or Escobar. There are maybe times he should, but I'd be SHOCKED

yuck

hey sys, do you remember salvy's last at-bat in the wild card game vs oakland last year?

[Stevesie60]

Can someone explain to me what a trade deadline is? Because apparently it's not what it sounds like it is.

i can't quite make out who was playing 3rd base. can you?

he lost a game seven last year while letting salvy hit.  that sort of thing can change a man's opinion.  they talk up butera's defense all the time and kept him over the better offensive catcher.  i think they're set up to ph for salvy if the situ is right.

with esky it'd be harder because they don't have anyone else who can play a decent short, but if it's the last inning, how could you not?

july was the non-waiver deadline.  august is the with waiver deadline.

Those things will never happen.

so why do you think they just bought gomes?

Correct. Its actually the smelly looking guy you want to stab

[sys]

esky may never happen, i kinda agree with that.
